I bought an electric bike last spring and wanted to replace the standard seat with something more comfortable. I did reading on both gel seats and memory foam seats. To me, it seems like deciding which type seat was for me was my first priority. I originally went with a gel seat that just did not provide overall comfort. I found it to a little too rigid and unyielding after a few miles. I returned that seat and replaced it with this Giddy Up Bike Seat. This memory foam seat was the way to go for me. I would compare the comfortability to that of a memory foam mattress. It is supportive and firm, yet also has enough give to adjust to my contour and remain comfortable. I find it to be very comfortable even on longer rides. This seat makes biking even more pleasurable as I can concentrate on the experience without being concerned about regularly adjusting for comfort.
The only caveat I would offer is that which others have shared. While I really like the seat light with its flashing and stationary options, the placement of the switch just invites potential problems. It is at the back of the seat where you often might grip in moving your bike out of a tighter space like a garage. I had tried being careful with it to the point of looking at that light as the last thing I do after putting the bike back in the garage. I can only assume I accidentally may have activated it and drained the batteries as I only occasionally used it. The small screws on the case make it a challenge to replace the batteries. However; that issue does not affect my overall rating as the bike already had a light and the priority for me was a comfortable seat.
We are all a bit different. From my experience I would say it's best to determine which type of seat - memory foam or gel is the best match for you. Then decide on the vendor. After 8 months of riding I am very happy with my decision.
