The neck rest is an adapter kit from Terra Cycle (tcycle)bike accessories. You use the Catrike neck mount base and then the adapter kit. The quad lock is the best phone holder ever! Thanks for watching!

I have not found any limitations riding a recumbent and ask any orthopedic surgeon or Physical Therapist…. the recumbent trike is the most efficient way to ride a bike. I get the same cardio as on my diamond frame bikes. I also have a Trek Carbon Fiber fatty a Trek ebike and a Trek Marlin 8.0 . Just like you have a bag of clubs to play golf, I pick which bike to ride based on the trail I am on and the surface.

I'm 67 yrs old and had been hiking a small mountain 3-4 times a week. This was working great for me for years until I blew out my knees thinking I could play tennis again, after 50 years. Bought an e-assist, torque actuated, recumbent trike. Takes all that weight off the knees, helps me get up hills, but still lets me out for long rides, great workouts with monitors to keep my cadence and heart rate in the aerobic zone. Total bliss. I feel so much better. That said, there's a learning curve with these trikes. They're not bicycles.

I just rode with my v seat yesterday. Only went about 16 miles and I think it will be awesome when I make some adjustments. It took away all my soft tissue pain.

It was invented for a woman - the company CEO. Real nice people. I just saw them on Shark Tank 😊 and I will very likely get one.

10K miles a year... I call BS, especially in a Wall-E chair.

@@brianbassett4379 fyi I have two Catrikes and live on cape cod for 8 months a year and spend 4 months in south Florida. I ride 30 miles or more every day of the year. When I take recovery day every 4-5 days I generally do 40-50 on following days. I ride with a group of cyclists and we do a century ride the last weekend of every month. Call bs whatever you want . I have the odometers to prove it.

Thank you for your comments. I will be doing another follow up video on the seat in the neat future.

Im not a doctor, so I can't answer that for you. What I can tell you is that I have over 600 miles with the seat on my trek two wheel ebike and I have about 20 miles with it on my Trek Carbon Fiber Fat bike and I have no pain ever when riding.....They are sold out right now and waiting for new inventory.......great seat!

Here you go. Thanks for watching t-cycle.com/products/catrike-conversion-neckrest

Thank you

Thanks for your comment. It is a Bontrager after market fender.

Thank you for your comments Erin and welcome to the channel😁

Yes, they do that’s a huge event for them. I plan on Riding Road, America again in the next month.

You are welcome. I will be doing an update in the near future.

There are a lot of variables with that. I would suggest that you reach out to the great people at VSEAT through their website. They respond very quickly and are obviously much more knowledgeable than I am in that regard.

@@overthehedgerow thanks 👍

I cannot answer that questions., If you reach out to the great people at VSEAT through their website, they will be able to provide the correct information.

@@overthehedgerow Hi. They responded NO...

@@barryinny I knew they would have the correct answer and much faster then myself.

I understand. Everyone has a budget including me. If you have the opportunity, they are worth every penny.

It will be interesting to hear. What do you think of that seat. It appears they are trying to use a lot of foam to create comfort for the sit bones versus the targeted sit bone design of the VSEAT. I would be interested in hearing what you think of it after two or three hundred miles. I’ve got over 600 miles on my VSEATS right now and not a single pain after my 20 to 40 mile rides.

@@overthehedgerow If I can get to the shopping center I visit most without having to take 2 Lyrica to deal with sciatica I will be happy.

@@allenvestal4474 I understand that pain. 23 years ago I injured my back which kept me bedridden for a month because if I stood up the pain in my right leg was excruciating within 30 seconds of standing up. At the end of 30 days and several attempted use by doctors of pain killers the neurosurgeon performed a laminectomy and I woke up pain free and have been pain free for the last 23 years. The only thing I had to give up was golf because of the torque on my lower back. I was on my high school golf team so that was tough. But I could ski, bike and work with no restrictions or pain.

@@overthehedgerow Installed the seat today. Much more comfortable just sitting on the bike but way too hot in Central Texas today to put any miles on the bike right now.

@@allenvestal4474 yeah I live in Wisconsin and it’s 85 today and I was sailing on Lake Michigan all day and it was still hot.😂 I don’t go south of the cheddar curtain, otherwise known as the Illinois state border in the summer.😂😂😂

Those side clamps are readily available at Home Depot or Amazon. They are clamps used to hold tools, brooms, that kind of thing to a wall. In Home Depot they are located within the tool department with all the drills, saws and hand tools. Thanks for watching…

@@overthehedgerow ok thanks

@@Car_Media2 you're welcome

Thanks!

Did it work?

@@overthehedgerow Defiantly better than before. Haven't done a lot of long rides yet, but it seems very promising.

Thank you for your comment. People have shared that their previous seats have created pain for them in a variety of areas of their groin :). For me it was my site bones and after 600+ miles on this seat it amazes me each time that I have no pain after a ride. I am glad to hear that you love your VSEAT.

Great question I went out and measured….the original seat was 5.5” wide and the v seat is 8.5” wide. Hope that helps

Hi Don...thanks for your comment....I am 6'4" tall and 265 pounds (obviously not a little person)......and the seat is great....I know I get it.....looks can be deceiving.......but after 250 miles now.........no going back.......no pain ever.....and I have ridden a lot of bikes with a lot of seats.......

I'm glad that you liked the video....many more on the way this season :).
