Saddle

The purpose of the saddle is to absorb body
weight, provide support and enable different riding
positions. The shape of the saddle thus depends
on the intended use of the pedelec and the rider's
physique and posture.

The seat area is one of the most sensitive regions
of the body. The saddle should allow the rider sit
free of pain and fatigue. The saddle shape must
suit each individual's anatomy. Solutions for
sitting discomfort are listed in Section 9.1.

When riding, the rider's body weight is distributed
between the pedals, the saddle and the
handlebars. When the rider is an upright position,
the relatively small saddle area bears about 75%
of their body weight.

Saddles are provided in different sizes. The width
of the pelvis and the gap between the sitting
bones is crucial when selecting a saddle. Different
saddle variants thus differ in their width.
You will find two methods to calculate the
minimum saddle width in Sections
and 6.5.4.4.
