City Bike & E-Bike Saddles Selection Guide

Because the space between your sit bones gets incrementally greater the further you bend over forwards, the majority of saddles are specially designed for a specific sitting posture. On a City bike (or E-bike) you generally sit very upright, with your back at a 90° angle to the saddle. People who prefer a more sporty position on their City bike, and those who like a relaxed position on their Touring bike, have a slightly forward-bent sitting position, so that their back is at a 60° angle to the saddle. Those who prefer a sporty postion on their Touring bike sit with their back at a 45° angle to the saddle, in a postion that can be characterised as forward.
