All of our electric bikes come as standard with unisex saddles. Whilst some of these are more comfortable than others, it's still one of the most upgraded items!

We offer saddles in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit the rider. Find your preferred option above. Bicycle saddles are the cornerstone of rider comfort, dictating enjoyable journeys. Crafted with ergonomic precision and varying widths, they ensure proper support and weight distribution, minimising discomfort on long rides on eBikes.

Comfort is one of the biggest factors in enjoying your electric bike, and the right saddle and seat post can transform the way your bike feels on longer rides. Because e-bikes encourage you to ride further and more often, even small improvements in comfort make a noticeable difference. A well-shaped saddle supports your sit bones properly, reduces pressure points and keeps you pedalling smoothly, while a quality seat post helps absorb buzz from the road or trail, making the whole ride feel more controlled.

Innovative designs consider anatomical differences, providing relief and reducing pressure points. Materials like gel, foam, or leather cater to individual preferences, balancing cushioning and durability. Ventilation and cut out features enhance airflow and alleviate heat, promoting a cooler, more comfortable ride.

A well-chosen saddle isn't merely an accessory—it's a personalised interface between rider and bike, crucial for enjoyable, pain-free cycling experiences, underscoring the significance of a tailored saddle choice for every cyclist.

At e-bikeshop, we work with riders of all experience levels, and one thing is always consistent — no two riders are the same. Some prefer a firmer performance saddle for efficient pedalling, while others enjoy a wider, more cushioned option for all-day comfort. Pairing the right saddle with the right seat post, whether that’s a lightweight alloy post or a suspension design, gives your e-bike a more tailored feel and can make even the roughest paths feel noticeably smoother.

Not specifically, but many e-bike riders benefit from slightly wider or more cushioned saddles because they sit more upright and often ride longer distances. Comfort is key, so a saddle designed for your riding position works best.

Saddles are a very individual thing, however most manufacturers provide unisex gel and memory foam saddles which fit the widest majority of riders and so are likely to be comfortable right out of the box. Only in a minority of cases would a rider need a specific width saddle to be comfortable on a bike. This is more often the case with road cyclists, where the saddles have little to no padding at all.

Often it’s down to saddle shape, width or padding not matching your sit-bone spacing or riding posture. Even a small change in width or contour can make a huge improvement in comfort.

Measuring for a saddle is actually measuring your ischial or "sit" bones in the base of your pelvis. This is normally done with specialist equipment on which you sit, and leave an impression. The width of these bones determine the width of saddle required. Most men sit within a range of 100-140mm with womens pelvis' slightly wider at 110-150mm. 20mm is added to the measurement, and this is the width of saddle you require.

Gel saddles offer great comfort for shorter to medium rides and upright positions. For longer or more energetic riding, a firmer foam or performance saddle can actually feel better over distance.

You can fit most saddles on most bikes. While the rail width and length is the same on most bikes, some manufacturers make the rails a specific shape. The most common are completely cylindrical however on some higher end bikes with carbon rails, these are ovalised and not compatible with a round shaped clamp. Seat posts come in many different widths and shapes and you'll need to check carefully that it will fit the bike you intend it for.

The saddle should support your sit bones, not the soft tissue between them. Many shops (including us) can help you measure sit-bone width to find the correct size.

Yes — especially on heavier e-bikes where you feel more road chatter. A suspension seat post smooths bumps and takes the edge off rough tracks, making longer rides far more comfortable.

Absolutely. Dropper posts are brilliant on e-MTBs, giving you the freedom to lower the saddle instantly on descents and raise it again for climbs. They add control and confidence off-road.

Your leg should be almost straight at the bottom of the pedal stroke, with a slight bend at the knee. Too low and you lose efficiency; too high and you risk hip rocking and discomfort.
