Can you swap out the seat with a regular cycling seat (not this oversized silliness)? If so, what is needed (adapter??)

I did! I put on a "gel seat" that I had purchased for my old bike! just make sure you tighten it really well..

I don't recall all the details, just remember it has no shaft or connection point to a shaft, and I and my husband were at a complete loss as to how to attach it to the bike. I would advise you to choose a different seat.

Yes ,I am using it on a smaller seat than the one actually bought for. Works fantastic. Switch between bikes as needed , and wont ride with out it.

when i bought this i had a 26in bike but now i have a 29inch and it works however the nuts are a size larger so it does not exactly fit inside properly. if you tighten it too tight the whole unit spreads out but if you do not tighten it enough the bike will fall out of it.....need some sort of adapter to go from the size nut from a 26inch to the size nut for a 29inch. i wonder if the company has something like this....i do not have the size nuts in front of me so if anyone can help please do

I bought mine for other purposes, but you should have no problems hooking it up to a regular bicycle. I've seen it done. I just haven't used mine for that purpose. You might look at YouTube and see what videos they may have.

The seat is pretty much the same as any other bike seat but can be easily switched. I found the original bike seat just fine.

It is designed for the standard bike seat. It has a drawstring to make it snug which could reduce its size but go to any store and look at seats and compare size to get a visual.

Hi there, i'm using the maxi cosi car seat. You have to fix the adapters on when you're using that and remove it if you want to switch back to the mountain buggy original seat. It doesn't take a long time. 5 sec is all you take! :)

You can buy the seat with either a mount that is for disc brakes or without, if you have two bikes that you want to inter-change the seat with but they have different brake systems you may need to buy two different mounts...the good thing about that situation is the seat is super easy to take off. Here is a website that I referred to when I was trying to decide on a seat for my kid http://www.dadwise.com/reviews/child-bicycle-seat-review/P.S. I love the Topeak Seat, it is awesome and my little girl loves to go on rides! ;)Hope this helps!

Yes, you can change them, or use the pedals and saddle from your road/mountain bike.

There are adapters, just run a search and you should find several. These pedals are available in both sizes as well.

Does anyone know if this is compatable with the city versa (the seat removes like the city select)? I've seen some reviews that may suggest this, but want to double check before i purchase as I'm based in the uk, so would prove tricky to return etc.

The seat that comes with the bike is not adjustable. If you go to the following link you will be able to find an adaptor and seat that should work for you. http://www.bicycleseats.org/exercise-seat-adaptor-choos.htm

I applied it to a NordicTrack Adult Tri-cycle with no problem. I was lucky because I hadn't checked before doing it. You need to look at how the seat is attached to the bike. I was lucky in that the existing seat was just clamped to the top of the height adjustment pipe. So long as your seat can be easily detached you are okay, otherwise you will need to get the section of tube that slides into the bike for height adjustment.

You can buy another "spike" which you can leave attached permanently to another bike so all you have to do is remove the D ring and move the seat itself without needing to worry about allen keys and fitments

First, Zaha, you need a conversion kit with a standard post. This is available at: Bicycle Seats - Dovetail Dist. 1409 Monarch LN. P.O. Box 305 Rexford MT 59930. SKU_ BSCIM-UNI-3-KIT. I also bought the seat there: BSJB-49233. I then bought a gel saddle pad at: www.serfas.com. This all made the seat tolerable.
