Does anybody have a problem riding their bike with this seat (do your knees hit it)? How did you fix this problem if you had it?

I'm 6'1" and I have not had problems with that , I think that depends more on your bike design that the weeride's seat design

I am 5'10 and had no issues with the weeride. We took it 'off road' over logs and rocks and never fell or crashed. Used ours for 6 years!

Yes my knees hit and I'm only 5'3". No way to fix it, just ride with your knees sticking out. It definitely effects how you ride but you get used to it. You cannot make fast or sharp turns. My handle bars can't even turn all the way cause they then hit my knees. But I still LOVE this seat. It is so comfy for my 2 yr old and I'm more comfortable with him in front of me.

Hi - apologies for the late response. We still have this problem. It's really not very comfortable.

This will give you the best sitting ride of all carriers. You get used to the child between your legs quickly and have no hang ups of the peddles like you would with rear carriers. The child and you are centered really well, I had no crashes in two years use, using it every other day on a mountain bike. It is very awkward to stand up and peddle though, which i consider is it's only downfall. Standing while riding thru rough patches is fine, but standing and peddling is hard to do with this unit.

This is a great seat! I have one on all 3 bicycles and one tandem. With this seat you sit on your sit bones and nothing else. There is no pressure anywhere there shouldn't be! I got it because with a regular seat my entire groin area went numb and hurt very bad. I no longer have that problem. and I ride a lot of miles every week! I would suggest you talk to your doctor about it. He would know better about things like that. All I know is I will never go back to a regular seat.

I have no issues like this. I sit and ride and watch TV with no problems. I added a gel seat cover and I love this bike.

I think there might be something wrong with the seat of your bike. Ours screwed into place with the two screws very tight. The seat itself slides onto the flat piece that screws onto the bike. There is a knob that you turn on the underside of the seat to adjust how far you want it to be away from the bike.

We did not feel comfortable on this seat either, but, rather then replace the seat we bought the 2x sunlite cloud-9, Gel bicycle seat cover, seems to be working well for us, just something you might consider rather then changing the seat. Hope this helps you Jason.

Jay, I am 6'4" with a large frame and had knee replacement surgery in Oct 2013. I was having trouble finding a bike that was reasonable priced and could handle the leg length. I read some reviews and decided to take a chance on the bike. I extend the seat all the way out and it is fine. It would be nice to have another slot to move back but is adequate for my rehab/ exercise. Positives are it is easy to put together and is very quiet. I can ride it in the exercise room and you can not hear it in operation outside the room. Some comments have been made about the display being difficult to see but I find it adequate for my needs. It is a dated design but if you want things in color you will have to pay a couple hundred bucks for a upgrade. Good luck and hope this helps.

Sorry, we had no trouble at all with this bike, either upon shipment, during assembly or during usage. I suggest you take it to a good bike repair shop in your area and ask the question. Good luck!

No, at least on my seat. I added a Schwinn gel cushion to enhance comfort. Perhaps you are leaning too far forward so be sure to raise your handle bars and experiment with the seat height. I also ride with padded cycle shorts on occasion. Start with a sort of upright position and pedals only action then add the arm motion after you get your stride. I add it after 1.5 minutes. Lastly, experiment with different textured shorts or tights. Hope these help. The seat attachment on mine fits directly on the post unlike a regular bike seat with a tilt mechanism. You cannot simply buy a std bike seat to add the tilt mechanism as one reviewer opined. No, at least on my seat. I added a Schwinn gel cushion to enhance comfort.

I've rode mine as much as almost 30 miles. But I replaced my seat. So did my husband. I have had mine for 5 years plus and replaced it with a 12 inch wide seat....might look silly when my hiney ain't on it but oh so comfy. Got my husband a big 12 incher too. We are getting old and it's those skinny seats that hurt ya'. You can adjust the bike's height so I could ride mine many many more miles. They are smaller wheels but that doesn't seem to bother me at all or my husband.

Have you looked at the bolt underneath the seat? Make sure that is lined up with grooves and really tight. Hope this helps.

Somewhat awkward, because you have to spread your knees. I avoid rides more than 5-6 miles for this reason-it kills my knees. But I love having him on front (and this is the only seat that fit on my bike, front or back).

I had that issue as well but I bought some Profile Design Boxer Bar Ends which can be easily installed and give you an upright position when riding the bike. They're available through Amazon as well.

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation...If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

Even on a small bike the feet wouldn't be an issue. Where I had some interference (on a big bike) was their knees would bump into my rear end if I sat too far back. Nevertheless we loved the seat, very easy to take on and off and felt very secure.

I didnt have any issues at all and I have to say this seat is amazingly comfortable as oppose to the original seat instaled on my bike. I have been using my bike a lot and I just cant believe how comfortable this seat is.
