2.5 Tailor fitting your
hardshell seat
A lot of time went into the design of the ICE Air-
Pro seat and seat cover to make it suitable for a
wide range of people but obviously everyone is
a slightly different shape.
First ride your trike for a while with the standard
pads. There is a good chance you will find it
completely comfortable in which case you will
not need to use the pads at all.
If, however you are finding that the shape does
not suit you so well then the new seat pad
system has been designed to tailor the fit of your
ICE Air-Pro seat specifically for you, making this
the most customizable hard shell seat currently
on the market.
The kit comprised of 3 symmetrical pairs of foam
pads. These pads are designed to be fitted on
top of the ICE Air-Pro seat cover and can be
fitted pretty much anywhere you would like.
If you look on the back of each pad you will see
it has a raised strip down the centre with double-
sided adhesive either side.
The raised strip on the back of each pad is there
to hold it in place whilst you are experimenting
with where to position the pads. It can be
pressed directly into any of the slots in the
seat cover and will stay put whilst you try it out
properly.
Don’t be too quick to get the pads stuck on
permanently, experimentation is the key here so
go out and give your trike a ride with the pads in
various positions to find what suits you best.
Sit on your trike, go for a ride on it and get used
to the feel of the seat shape.
•
Try putting pads where you can feel gaps
or spaces between your back and the seat.
•
Press the pads firmly down along the
middle to make the raised strip on the pad
engage properly with the grooves in the
seat cover.
•
If you can feel a pressure point where your
back is pressing on a localised spot, do not
add a pad in that place, but pad around the
spot leaving a space in that area.
•
Once you are fairly happy with the positions
they’re in, go for a few more rides.
•
Be careful not to lose them if they should
get hooked up on your clothes.
•
Now peel off the backing tape and stick the
pads on.
CAUTION:
When experimenting with
positioning your pads, do not remove
the tape. Once these pads are stuck
they are PERMANENT!.
