An adapted bike with adjusted seat
The Easy Rider is a sturdy and stable seat tricycle with a low seat posture and luxurious seat/chair. You can adjust the seat/chair individually, which increases the comfort of the ride and ensures that no part of the body is subjected to incorrect pressure.
Adjust the tricycle to the size of the rider before you start using it. This is very important, especially for the saddle and steering. If optimal adjustment is not possible with the instructions outlined, please contact your dealer for a suitable solution.

For adjusting the saddle position on the Easy Rider 2 and also Easy Rider Small tricycle the following principle applies.
