I don't like the seating position on the Master, and some people have reported sitting too far back can break the rear light casing. What I don't like is how tip-toe you have to be on the pedals when seated, how wide and high your knees have to go, which is made slightly worse by 3rd party pads, and how awkward it is to transition between standing and sitting. Also, although you are very much more aerodynamic in that position, and can resist wind a lot better (which is definitely an issue when standing up and going over 40 kph) trying to get acceleration while seated requires (me at least) to be literally hanging off the front of the machine. In theory the Master should win that battle, but practically speaking, I'm not sure it does. And yet I see some people dealing with it just fine, and it not bothering them ! But rather more people feeling the need to fit a higher saddle before they are happy... The Clarke Pads fairing seat combo will get you a wider seat a few inches higher than stock but its rather big, expensive, inelegant and bulky, and for me it compromises the look of the machine too much, although it undoubtedly ups its 'tankiness factor' by a reasonable amount.

UniBlab Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 During the Long Wait, I switched my pre-order from S22 to Master; I have no regrets. The E-wheels Litech 40T Master is just wonderful! It's so smooth and powerful - rides like a Cadillac. Of course, I performed an immediate upgrade to the Kuba/TorquePads Suspension system with a Fox Float DPS shock - No bottoming out issues. Granted, I am a 95% on-road rider, although I can catch air on some of these un-even sidewalks which is a tremendous joy. I sometimes ride hard pack off road, and once again zero complaints or concerns. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the 40t packs have some punch! Got any video? Edited December 14, 2022 by Crab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Would cutting to fit a yoga mat, and inserting into pants, work? Instead of modified seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Clark Seat & Fairing with Russian (MonoCustomize) Pads. So far I am blown away at how nice this setup rides! For me it's perfect.
