HP Velotechnik ErgoMesh Premium Seat
The completely newly developed ErgoMesh Premium Seat entirely redefines the category of recumbent seats.
For the first time, the backrest as well as the seat surface inclination can be adjusted independently of each other – thus providing an unprecedented adjustability of the individual seating position. The Seat-O-Flex joint is the linchpin for your best possible comfort, for it allows to adjust the seat and backrest independently of each other. Adjusting the angle of the seat as a whole is already common with the standard ErgoMesh: The rider can choose either the aerodynamic reclining position or the upright position for a wider field of vision. But the rigid overall construction also means: in a very upright position it offers less support to the front, and at a very flat angle some people feel pressure from the front edge of the seat. Enjoy the new freedom with the Seat-O-Flex technology in the ErgoMesh Premium seat and find out how much difference 14 degrees backrest angle can make.
The 3D-formed seat frame sets totally new ergonomic standards. In addition, the patented OrthoFlex technology allows additional supporting cushions to be inserted into prepared pockets in the backrest and seat surface for contouring according to requirements. The frame is made of high-strength aluminum tubes and gives the Premium seat its unmistakably defined contour.
The elaborate 3D upholstered seat surface not only provides maximum seating comfort, but also ensures pleasant ventilation and optimum rain suitability. The ErgoMesh Premium combines a unique material mix of six different woven and knitted fabrics. This makes the seat both highly breathable and comfortable. In order to provide optimum support for the back and buttocks, the ErgoMesh Premium seat is divided into eight large cushion zones. The individual sections are separated by ventilation channels. The structure combines aesthetics and functionality by providing the greatest possible air supply precisely in those areas where the body sweats most.
Highly adjustable: Eight tension straps in combination with four OrthoFlex® pads that can be individually positioned make ErgoMesh Premium your personal invitation to take a perfect seat. The ErgoMesh Premium is also available as a 5 cm (2″) wider XL version and each with 11 cm (4.3″) more seat height than the HS version. Two slide-in pockets on the edge of the seat and two on the backrest are upholstered with padding elements made of highly breathable material. HP Velotechnik first introduced this technology with theGekko fxs under the name OrthoFlex®. It ensures maximum flexibility for the individual adjustment of the ErgoMesh Premium in order to support every body as best as possible at crucial points. The removable pads can be positioned according to your needs within the pockets. The basic adjustment is surprisingly simple: take a seat, open the pockets, push the OrthoFlex® pads against the back, close the pockets and off you go!
Easy Seat-mounting: The mounting on the trike is done with the proven 3-point mounting system from HP Velotechnik. The ingenious design of the seat mounts allows the seat angle to be infinitely adjusted in seconds. All you have to do to fix the desired position is to close three quick releases.
An additional advantage of the 3-point mounting by HP Velotechnik is that you can interchange ErgoMesh Premium, ErgoMesh and BodyLink as you wish.
For extra safety there are reflective strips on the sides of the seat and on the back of the bags, which provide better visibility in the headlights, and a built-in flag holder lets you easily add a safety flag to your ride.
