I never found the BikeE seat uncomfortable, even for 50 mile
rides.  I don't find it uncomfortable today, now that my BikeE
is mainly used as a short errand/utility bike (< 5 miles).

I have the pre-sweet BikeE seat with the shorter seatback.  I went
from that to Tour Easy with Kool-back seat, much taller.  I like the
fact that the BikeE seat base could be adjusted for 'tilt', a feature not
available with the Kool-back seat base.  I also like that the BikeE
seat position is easily adjustable over a wide range.  Adjusting the
Easy Racers seat for someone else to try is not something I enjoy
doing.  It is complicated by the fact that I have a rear rack that
attaches to the seat sup****t rods.  Overall, that's a minor issue.
The Kool-back seat has worked very well for me.

Maybe I'm just not very picky about re***bent seats.  I don't
have a problem moving back and forth between my Tour Easy
and my Volae even though the "euro-style" fiberglass seat on
my Volae is very different, both in angle and in sup****t from
the Kool-back.

I just rolled over 10,000 miles on my Tour Easy odometer.
I had the bike about a week or so before I got the cyclometer,
so I crossed 10,000 miles on the bike somewhat sooner.
Still turning over 9999.99 to 10000.00 was fun!

I suspect the foam seat padding on the Tour Easy could benefit
from replacement. There are a few worn places on the seat cover
fabric.  The seat back fabric seems to have worn very little.
