A seat for a pedal-powered vehicle includes a support frame, a left seat element, a right seat element, and a nose. The left and right seat elements and the nose are implemented as separate components supported by the support frame. The two seat elements support a seated rider's weight while the nose does not. The seat elements and the nose form a gap below the seated rider's perineum area. The seat elements pivot forwards and backwards when the seated rider is pedaling. The seat elements counter-pivot when the seated rider is pedaling. Each seat element includes a concave surface that supports the seated rider.

A physical exercise apparatus includes a frame equipped with a crankset and a saddle. The saddle includes a chassis fastened to the frame, two saddle parts, and articulation members for articulating each saddle part relative to the frame around a pitch axis, a roll axis, and a yaw axis. The apparatus includes sensors for detecting a pitch movement, a roll movement, and a yaw movement of each saddle part respectively about the pitch, roll, and yaw axes, these movements resulting from pedaling made by a user. At least one calculation unit determines, from output signals of the sensors, angular amplitudes of the pitch, roll, and yaw movements. At least one screen is provided in order to display, depending on the angular amplitudes determined by the calculation unit, the position on each saddle part of a bearing point of an ischium of a user in the process of pedaling.

A seating device includes a seat body having a top seat supporting surface, a mounting base coupled at a bottom surface of the seat body, and two wing supports sidewardly extended from two sides of the seat body respectively, wherein each of the wing supports has a top buttock supporting surface upwardly and sidewardly extended from the top seat supporting surface of the seat body to a side tip of the wing support, and a bottom retention surface inclinedly and upwardly extended to the side tip of the wing support for reinforcing the wing support in a tilt up manner so as to prevent the wing support being sagged down when the wing support is pressured.

A manufacturing method of a seating device includes manufacturing an outer skin; manufacturing a core member via a foaming process; wrapping the core member in the outer skin, coupling a mounting plate at a bottom surface of the core member; and selectively coupling a mounting structure to the mounting plate to form the seating device. The outer skin is constructed to have a top skin layer adhered on a top surface of the core member, a side skin layer adhered on a side surface of the core member, and a bottom skin layer adhered on a bottom surface of the core member. Particularly, the top skin layer of the outer skin is adhered on the top surface of the core member edge-to-edge to initially align and retain the outer skin on the core member.

An adjustable saddle may include a first saddle half that may be slidably adjustable to a front mounting assembly and slidably adjustable to a rear mounting assembly. An adjustable saddle may further include a second saddle half that may be slidably adjustable to a front mounting assembly and slidably adjustable to a rear mounting assembly. Additionally, the attachment features may be configured to be releasably securable to the mounting assemblies. The first saddle half and the second saddle half may be adjusted independently of each other to adapt to a given sit bone width and riding position to achieve maximum comfort.

An adjustable seat includes a seat frame and an adjustable assembly. The seat frame includes a first seat body and a second seat body spaced apart each other to define an adjustment channel between the first and second seat bodies. The adjustable assembly is supported underneath the seat frame for selectively adjusting a distance between the first and second seat bodies, wherein the adjustable assembly includes two adjustable members coupled at the first and second seat bodies respectively, and an adjustor rotatably coupled between the adjustable shafts. The adjustor is driven to rotate at a rotatable direction along a centerline of the adjustment channel to selectively adjust a width of the adjustment channel so as to selectively adjust the distance between the first and second seat bodies.

A bicycle saddle comprising a base, a rear portion positioned on the base, and a front portion positioned on the base. The rear portion supports the sit bones of the rider and includes a first resilient material having a first hardness (e.g., 45-55 Shore C), and the front portion supports the genitalia of the rider and includes a second resilient material having a second hardness (e.g., 35-45 Shore C) less than the first hardness. The front portion includes side portions having a first thickness above a highest part of the side sections, and the side portions are separated by a central portion having a second thickness less than the first thickness. Preferably, a lower surface of the central portion is substantially unsupported to form a trampoline-like structure. The upper surface of the central portion can include memory foam and is substantially flush with upper surfaces of the side portions.
