@NNN has a question about riding in an upright position:

Q2. When I try to ebike an hour each way using a Dutch/upright position on a sprung Brooks Flyer saddle, my bottom gets sore. But I can ride 2+ hours on a MTB or roadbike with hard saddle OK.

Any advice for getting comfy in an upright riding position?

@ascentale @NNN could be worth looking at fit in terms of seat height, reach to bars, relative height difference between seat and bars, as well as shape and angling of seat. The material and springiness might also make a difference. All that said, I think it’s much tougher to stay comfy longer than an hour or two on an upright cycle.

@dgodon @ascentale @NNN A2 I’m going to agree with Damien on this one. We spend big bucks and lots of time fitting road bikes to each person. I’ve never done it for my step through e-bike. Did a road trip on MTBs through Brittany many years ago. V sore bottom from time in the saddle. #bikenite
