Is there any way to replace the seat with a better one?

I'm sorry, I don't know; I like the seat. But....since my original review, I would like to add that my odometer keeps resetting. I put in new batteries but that doesn't help so I am now having some reservations about the reliability of the computer.

For all practical purposes, no. However, this seat is fine. Excellent actually. You can move around on it and change the nature of how you're sitting. I spend an hour on it with no discomfort at all. As for the computer as discussed in that other answer, don't let it bother you. The computers on $1,200 exercycles do not work any better. At least the pulse meter works; I've seen some on expensive bikes that were dangerously bad.

If you contact Paradigm they offer another seat for this bike that is smaller - not sure if better This one is large and comfortable if you plan on biking for any length of time.

The seat should be contoured, as on regular bikes, else there is a lot of pressure on the sitz (sp) bones, and that causes irritation. I tried a quick fix, a therapeutic sciatica pillow from DreamProduts (or other such companies). I just set it on top of the seat, loose. It helps a lot, but I am looking to retro fit an old exercise bikes seat.

i just opened the boy, the seat seems ridiculously wide, at least for a slender man.

You can contact the seller and they will replace one piece or the other. From what I read the the reviews they are very good at replacing items that do not match.

Hi Nikhil, if you look in the back of the lid, there is a button. press on that button and pull forward. this should slide out the seat cover and you replace it. Hope this was helpful.

The seat on mine had a leaking shock that would not hold up. I have it in a back room as i had thrown away the packaging. Very disapointed and still looking for the right chair

That is a good question. I would say no initially, but would be very very easy to customize and do. Not sure a seat change would be good since the seat already is really nice. If you were looking to put a more sturdy race bike type of seat it should be easy. But considering the short amount of time you would actually sit on it, it's not worth the bother.

I haven't had to replace the seat. I'm sure you have to order it from the company that made it. Also there is a water filter that must be replaced periodically.

try the original company or call wherever they sell the chair and see what kind of info you can get from them. we casn't do it ourselves..as it is s specisl kind of elastic. or google; elastics for chairs.

I haven't had to replace the post, just had to duct tape the seat where the dog ate it...used pretty tape tho so still looks cute:) I would assume you could do that but if you haven't already bought it, I kinda wish I had bought a regular bike and not put the pedals on until she was through using it as a balance bike. Now I will have to buy a regular bike too.

If you are replacing the seat with an identical model they pop on or off with the push if a button. It looks like you could probably replace the seat with a different model or brand, but you would need to use an Allen wrench to take the old one off.

We found a U tube video that told how to replace them without removing the seats. I don't remember the name of the video, however it worked well. Sorry

I haven't had to replace my bike seat. You might want to take a picture of it and take the picture to a bike shop and see if they can help you with another option.

Since the seat post is a standard size, you should be able to replace the seat with one that better suits your needs. I would take the seat off and take it with you to a bicycle store to make sure the seat posts are compatible in size and pick a seat that fits your needs.

Yes, I agree it looks like you could remove the cushion then recover it with new material. It's only attached to the swivel and chrome ring with screws.

Yes - visit any local bike shop, Walmart, Dick's for an assortment of bike seats (not sure if you can get the exact same seat, however). They are easily replaced. Sorry to hear yours was stolen!

As far as I know, it is exactly like you describe, take off the old - put on the new. That is what I did. I did find because the seat is so much taller, I had to adjust the post setting to allow for that.
