Suspension Seat Post on your Ebike - 5 Things to Know

What about for light riders - under 60kgs? What would you recommend? Short travel or long travel? I have looked at sun tour and also the cane creek thud buster- the latter significantly more expensive than the former. I am also a bit short in the leg so concerned about the fit of the post and size of the suspension mechanism will mean I am on tiptoes even more when at a standstill.

ONE THING YOU OMITTED IS RIDERS WEIGHT.
SEAT POST ARE LIMITED TO MAXIMUM RIDER WEIGHTS.

If shaving weight off your ride is important. Cane Creek make a carbon suspension post. About a third of the weight of the Suntour. It's also 3 times the price. You do get what you pay for in this case.

What seat suspension would you recommend for the Magicycle Ocelot Pro?

Never trust a review that's sponsored by the Manufacturer...

Get an expensive bike fit to find your perfect position. Then have your saddle move around???

My mountain bike is my totem. I run a sus post on my hardtail. They are great.

Are you sure you are not dreaming? Does your wheel keep spinning when it should come to a slow stop? Lo

I very much enjoy your videos and appreciate all of your advice and knowledge.

Not all "bumps" go up!

redshift all the way! thx

convinced and with the few endorsements below -
just purchased one ........ many many thanks

So how does this work with a e bike and a flip up seat to get the battery in ?

Congratulations

Yes

WOW, that's very pricy for a bike post! I think I need to go over to REI and ask them a few questions before I buy anything.

Expensive, adds weight & a field day for the low lifes crooks that walk the streets . No TY .😊

I like your video very much. Do you have donate bike? I am from nepal

I do wonder how this stacks up to a full suspension bike. Great video!

lol, never thought about the added height! got a very expensive one (for me at least 350 or so) and added it to my XL Trek Allant 8s + and man that extra 2-3 inches makes it uncomfortable getting on and off as well as when stopped

def makes it more comfortable riding but i may just got back to a regular post

It’s real a warm and comfortable feeling to see so many bicycles together.

This lady is super knowledgeable.

Love how all the riders wear helmets but blow right thru Stop signs without stopping.

No mention of weight it takes to bottom out. Im 300 pounds. Every one ive tried just bottoms out and makes stopped seat height to tall.

I'm shopping now

The “cheap” one I got which is called zoom is the best investment I’ve made for my e-bike

Have you ever done a video covering coverings? I was contemplating a faring/windscreen/rain cover addition for my ebike. The rainy season is about to start here in the NW and this is my first year back into bicycling for ages. And, considering I mainly commute to work and want to be dry.

Does anyone of such model fit my Giant’s D-shaped seat post tube?

I have the Redshift post with a Bikeroo polymer spring seat on my Juiced RCS ST. I ride about ten miles every morning, and at 73 with a bunch of stuff starting to fail with my body, I wanted comfort and that`s what I got.

presumably these are no use if you ride a soft-tail?

One thing that was not mentioned was max weight capacity ..

Thank you for your videos. They have been very helpful to me.

Just ordered Lectric XPremuim and ordered a 31.6mm Suntour NCX and found out its wrong size Lectric says its a 30.4mm . So what can be done to make Suntour work would i need to purchase a 27.2mm and purchase a seatpost sleeve Cane Creek .ST27306 Seatpost Shim, 27.2 I.D. TO 30.6 O.D. ?

I have the red shift seat post and I love it.

Just get a $20 post that goes up and down, and lube it.
believe me lol all this nonsense he's talking about is nothing you're likely to care about for the common customer.
Don't waste your money on $100+ posts haha, how hilarious.

Just get the standard, it will absorb bumps, and feel nice. this guy trying to promote overpriced gimmicks.

Sounds like it would make a ride even better.👍🏼😎🚴🏻‍♀️

Can you link to one where the suspension is either at top or any other as the correct seatpost I have is at lowest point so I can have any additional height...

I wish you would have talked about the weight limitation on these seat post.

Your explanation about the bike going over an object is wrong. Your bike go up and down motion when you go over an object and not sideway or in the arc of the suntour.

what bothers me is so many of this videos shows bikes running stop signs, makes some people think it is ok do disobey the traffic laws if you are riding bike. You should be setting a good example. You may save a life.

I am only 5'2", and at 68 years old I would love to have a suspension post. My knees are not so good at getting me off the seat when hitting bumps in the road. Come on bike manufacturers; don't forget us shorter folks who need help.

While running my e-fat bike tires at lower pressure I was noticing that higher frequency vibration from ice and gravel chunks was making my ride uncomfortable under these conditions. Much to my surprise the Satori Animaris suspension seat the (parallelogram version) worked well to remove the vibration without any noticable pogo stick type bounce.

Is a redshift suspension seat post needed for a bike that already has rear suspension?

I've been using kinekt seat posts for a few years, first on my regular road bikes and now on my ebikes. ... even at 220 lbs they adjust perfectly and give a great ride without any ridiculous bouncy feeling.

I've heard so many good things about the Redshift seat post and also their handlebar damper. Not sure I can stretch to both, but I'm definitely thinking about it!

Sorry for the misspelled words I use voice texting
