Can you replace the seat with a standard bicycle seat if it isn't comfortable enough?

I added a gel seat cover. I did nt try to replace the seat. The gel pad makes it great.

I looked at all kinds of bicycle seats and they all had the same problem. It's that extension that goes between your legs that's the problem. It needs a seat like a tractor. I was doing physical therapy and none of the machines had bicycle-like seats. I'm thinking about taking the seat off of a junk tractor I've got and modifying it.

Yes, We sell a adapter that allows you to use most any bike saddle on the market. We priced it at cost to help with those who just can not use the stock saddle which was the best we could find. Be aware that all bike saddles have a tendency to hurt ones bottom when new to cycling. Better to wear a padded cycling short as most cyclists do this no matter what saddle they use.

I am looking for most comfortable seat without center hook. But much depends as is not Schwinn AD2 Airdyne addressed gripping the seat. whether the standard bicycle on a track or central rod or something specific.

Unfortunately, this is not designed for stand up and pedal on it since upright bike. I tried but it wasn't comfortable at all. I would recommend cycling bike instead. Happy Cycling!!

Yes, I had read reviews that the seat was a little hard so I ordered his seat when I ordered the bicycle. More padded and more comfortable.

Personally, I don't think the seat is that bad. I've been on a lot of real bikes that were less comfortable.

If your concern is that the seat post is going to be too short; a new seat post with no seat should only cost a few dollars at any bike shop. They may even help you install the seat on to it for you.

I don't have a problem with it but I do remember having to tighten it pretty tight. That said, it is not a comfy seat to begin with. I would recommend going to a bike and get a good one. That's what I am doing.

the seat will fit a standard seat post and clamp but was not as comfortable as hoped

You sure could. I placed a longer seat post on my bike to give me a better pedaling geometry.

I'm a heavy male 220 and 5' 9" and I find the seat extremely uncomfortable. Also caused pain and a slight numbness/tingle to the groin area. The fortunate thing is that they use a standard bike mount so you can replace the seat with any bicycle seat.

I did! I put on a "gel seat" that I had purchased for my old bike! just make sure you tighten it really well..

I am 5' and cannot use this comfortably. I purchased another recommended seat to help with problem, but the seat is way too hard. Truthfully, if I would have been able to test ride the bike, I would not have purchased it. I just so badly wanted it, that I purchased it with my fingers crossed. And, made a big mistake. I guess you would need to decide if 3 more inches in our height difference would make a considerable difference in your having a successful oytcome.

There are bolts at the bottom of the seat where you may be able to change the seat. The seat only becomes a headache and hurts if riding too long in a day or too much in a week; if you get what I mean. I see that you ask about height in another question; I am 5 ft as well and after a view adjustments that bike is perfect for my fiance and I ( he is 6ft).

It would probably have to be adapted. Some cut and paste. Every bicycle seat has a different sized post.

I bought this via amazon and tried it the first time when I assembled it. Seat is not comfortable. Wife feels like she will slide off. She bought a pair of "padded" bicycle shorts. The chain was too tight and there was vibration. Could feel the vibration in my hands and that made them feel numb. After adjusting the chain it vibrates less. Guess it was worth it. The ability to adjust the seat forward and back is nice.

It is possible for me to rest my arms on the handlebars while seated. However, it is not very comfortable.

My bike is a Specialized brand, and the seat did not need anything special to make it work. I am not an expert on bicycles, but suspect that the seat rails are standard. I bought another after-market seat before this one and it also had "standard" rails. My suggestion is to assume it will work, unless you have some unusual kind of bike. Then, if needed, look for something to adapt to your bike.
