Hi. Just an old fool.

[BrandonEffort]

My bike. 52v 2000w. 40amph battery. 100 mile range.....Ok, the bike can do a hundred miles but I can't. 10 miles, nice little look out. 20 miles, why do I like ebiking? 30 miles, my ass is destroyed. Tried everything to get more ass comfort.

Takes quite a bit of time in the saddle, but eventually your butt will toughen up lol

Welcome to our humble home, by the way!

For the record. My bike does seem very powerful. But I do not race around. I actually pedal. I over powered my bike to get the range, the idea being, more power means using less power to haul my body around, thus getting the range. Just need a tougher "trunk"

Can I mention the use of torque arms. A student's rear wheel came off under power. She broke her left arm, fractured cheekbone and broken nose. Better to be safe than sorry.

Suggest you take a look at this article and also a visit to a bike shop with this knowledge and see what they can have and/or can recommend:

you might also want to ask an orthopedic doc since bones are their specialty.....the doc might even be a biker themselves....

 

[BrandonEffort]

I will take your advice, thanks.

Use the article as a guide to have an idea of what to look for in a seat....but for all the info available nothing beats actually sitting on one and seeing how it feels and rides if they let you try it out....I'm guessing you might need a wider and more cushioned seat for extended rides even if you don't do extended rides.....as we say in the military: "better to have and not need....than to need and not have".... @BrandonEffort

I had the same problem. All bicycle seats are basically ass hatchets. I solved my problem by installing a SurRon seat on my bike.

Could do with a seat like that!

Sounds like good advice to me. Even tried a hydraulic seat post. But I kept being sick for some reason.
