Seat cushion
Seat cushion
The standard seat cushion consists of a 1,4 cm
thick layer of flexible EVA foam.This is a black
foam material with closed cells that is also
used in the production of high quality camping
mats. It feels very comfortable without appear-
ing too soft or spongy. It is waterproof so you
can dry your seat with a sweep of your hand
in case your bicycle has become wet.
Caution!
Never expose the seat cushion to
extreme heat or focused sunlight.The mate-
rial warms up considerably.The heat may
melt the glue of the Velcro.The seat cushion
can be damaged when the rays of the sun
are bundled through a lens.Take care to nev-
er leave any bubble wrap on the seat in the
sun.The air bubbles in the film act like a
burning glass and shrink the seat cushion.
Caution!
The seat cushion is fastened with
Velcro and you can take it off. For this pur-
pose it is important not to simply grab the
foam and take it off since the Velcro could
come off. In order to take off the seat cush-
ion lift up the upper part a little bit from the
seat.Then you grab the cushion on both
sides together with the end of the Velcro
that sticks out slightly and remove the cush-
ion slowly. In case the Velcro comes off fas-
ten it again with a good glue.
For better ventilation, the Airflow Cushion is
available as accessory.This cushion consists of
several layers:A rigid mesh and a soft mesh,
which provides for an approximately 1 cm
thick air cushion with excellent circulation.
These two layers are wrapped up in a cover
that consists of fine mesh like it is known from
high quality rucksacks.
You can wash the Airflow Cushion at 30°
centigrade and it dries very quickly.
The seat cushion suffers from wear by con-
stant use.The mesh parts under punctual pres-
sure can be pressed together permanently af-
ter some time of usage. In order to still pro-
vide a good riding comfort, the Airflow
Cushion features additional rigid mesh padding.
Raincover
To keep the seat dry when your tricycle is
parked you can additionally purchase a rain-
cover. It can be carried in the optional
Microbag or in the bag the ErgoMesh seat is
equipped standard with.
Caution!
Don’t sit down on the raincover.
It may get hurt.
