A comfortable seat is a major advantage of a recumbent. Recumbent riders who rave about their bike or trike will tell upright bicycle riders who suffer from permanent pressure points when sitting, about two unbeatable benefits: comfortable seating and back-friendly ergonomics. For exactly this reason, HP Velotechnik gives top priority to the design of the seat as the central contact point between rider and bike.

New materials and new processes enable HP's developers to create a design that is unique in many ways. It combines the best of two worlds: the ergonomically adjustable fit of a partially flexible hard shell seat with the airy comfort of a mesh seat.

For the first time in recumbent mesh seat design, the ErgoMesh Premium allows the angle of inclination of the seat and backrest to be adjusted independently. The frame is made of high-strength aluminum tubes and gives the Premium seat its unmistakably defined contour.

For outstanding comfort, 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 addition, it is 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.
