Great information on installing a seat suspension post and seat! It will help a lot of folks changing them out for better ones. The stock seat was unbearable for us, so we upgraded those right away.

I just ordered my Zoom suspension seatpost for my new Juiced RipCurrent S fat tire ebike. I also ordered a memory foam seat to replace the hard gel seat that came with the ebike. I had a suspension seatpost on my Trek road bike so I know they really work. Between the 4" fat tires, comfy saddle, and suspension seatpost, my rides will be ultra-comfortable.

Your video was the most descriptive in how to adjust the seat angle. I just wasn't quite understanding, but you "visually" made it clear. Haven't done it yet, but at least I now know that I can. I was thinking that I might need to buy a whole new suspension post.

I followed your video, but the teeth were stripped out because the zoom suspension in the video is backward. If you have a cloud 9 seat and this zoom post, you have to install the seat on the bar in the opposite position. I'm just trying to save others from the same issue. Thank you for the video.

Hi Roger, I have had a few comments over the last year about mounting the clamps on the seat opposite of what I show in the video. I'm sorry you had an issue. I mounted both our bike seats on the posts as shown in the video and have had no issues with either of them. I have seen a few videos where people have had to use vice grips to separate the rails on the seat in order to get them clamped on. I suspect that whenever you have parts made from different manufactures, there can be issues. I guess I was fortunate not to have any problems. Thanks for watching and enjoy!! 🍻 Sean

HI Jake, thanks for watching. Unfortunately I couldn't say. I have never ridden a bike with Lectrics Comfort package. When we ordered our bikes in June 2019 Lectric only offered the bikes, they didn't offer any accessories such as the comfort package. That said, total cost for our seats and the zoom post was about $60.00, I do believe that the cloud 9 seats have gone up in price since we purchased them. Not sure what the current price is on the comfort package as they run deals all the time. Take Care! Sean

@@ProdByDiStefano You adjust the tilt by repositioning the two "sandwich" pieces one way or the other, then tighten up the allen screws when you achieve the tilt you desire.

Did you get instructions with your post? I believe the manufacturer says to install with the fasteners on the rear side vs on the front as you did. I realise your video shows you can still get it adjusted the way you needed but maybe they have a reason for their instruction. I would hope by not following the instructions you won't have it fail & injure yourself or your wife (or anyone who follows your instructions instead of the manufacturer). I have a Zoom seat post myself and my butt agrees it improves the comfort of an e-bike.
