For more than two years, my wife and I have been developing a totally new concept motorcycle seat gel pad design. In our other non-biker life I am an engineer/motorcycle shop owner and my wife is a product designer. We began working on this project as the result of a 5500 mile trip using standard slab type gel pads but the pain was still almost crippling.
The new pads are called Ride Easy and the website is now operating. http://www.Ride-Easy.com. Over 10,000 seat miles of riding have gone into the development and testing of the Ride Easy motorcycle seat gel pads.
We just got back from a 2600 mile ride with 650 mile 13 hour days. We rode two days to our destination, stayed three days and rode two days back home. What we both experienced at the end of the 650 mile days using the Ride Easy pad is a slight stiffness but no numbness or pain. For perspective, I would be stiff sitting on my living room couch for 13 hours. The sensation was about the same as riding in a car for the same length of time.
The Ride Easy gel pad design is totally new. The way it works is a totally new concept. We have Patent Pending on the design. I too have a tailbone hurting problem. The operator pads are relieved in the tailbone area to minimize tailbone pressure. My wife rode on the narrow passenger seat using a Ride Easy gel pad for the entire trip also. It works for the operator and it works for the passenger. It is the only gel pad or motorcycle seat I have ever ridden on for 650 miles in a day and gotten just a little stiff.
I believe the Ride Easy motorcycle seat gel pad is the answer to biker butt.
The pad is so new there is very little feedback. Ride Easy Products has a Facebook page for users to record their experiences. Sales are picking up. Feedback should be coming soon.
I looked all over the forum for vendor rules and found non. I have no intention of abusing guidelines. Please advise if this type of post is not allowable. Thanks.
