Saddle sore

[Descant]

Just bought a fiido d21. Bit early to give a definitive opinion, also its my first electric bike. I will post a bit of a review a bit later.
One immediate comment is the saddle is pretty uncomfortable. I'd look to change it but the way its attached on the fiido is definitely not standard, in fact I can't see immediately how it comes off once the bolts have been loosened it appears to be retained although you can adjust the angle. Anyone know if the saddle can be changed?

looks like if you unscrew those bolts for the angle adjust it looks like how the saddle rails are also held to the bike post

As SW says, you can fit most any standard saddle with rails. Slack off/remove the bolt with a hex key.

I found the saddle fine after a couple of rides; it's the grips being rock-hard which many change.

Thanks folks but when you slacken off the bolts and remove the outer round holders the saddle rail although it slides back and forth will not come away from the inner holders. The only way would be to bend the rails, ie pull them apart, I have tried this but they are too strong for me.

Saddle comfort can depend on if you have.....er...er.. a fat rear end.. Firm saddles are more comfortable than plush thick ones because when you sit, you sit on your bum bones of your pelvis.
The firm saddle supports them, whereas the plush saddle you're sitting on the fat/muscle surrounding them which pushes up against the bones, so your sitting on muscle which becomes uncomfortable after a short while.

Having just looked at my own saddle/seat-post again, I think I understand (I have done this once before)...

With the bolt and side-clamps removed, you need to push/slide the saddle as far forward as possible so the rear of the saddle where the rails are widest are over the post, and then the saddle rails just need a bit of coaxing out and away from the inner rotating bushes. A wooden stick might help if you need a bit of leverage?
