One of our customers in New York decided to spruce up her Companion Bike Seat and add some color to her ride by making a custom bike seat cover! This is the first design she came up with, and she's working on putting together several more, all with different colors and patterns.

We originally envisioned offering our bike seats in a variety of different colors when we launched the business, but quickly realized that this would be difficult to do at scale (especially when our factory increased our minimum order size to 500 units). These seat covers are a great way to customize your Companion Bike Seat so that it matches your bike, and we think it's going to catch on quickly!

Photo disclaimer - riding on the sidewalk is strictly prohibited in New York City, and children should always wear a helmet.

"I took my daughter to school, had been looking forward to that so much. She had never ridden on the back of a bike. I realized that this morning. Very strange that I hadn't thought about that till this morning. I was practically taken home from the hospital when I was born on the back of my mom's bike! Jumping on the back of your friend's bike is something that you do regularly in Holland. And of course people jumping on the back of yours.

Riding with her hanging on to me this morning felt so right! I think she  had a few nervous moments (morning traffic on 2nd & 1st Ave in Manhattan can be a little intimidating). She had no way of knowing how good of a bike rider I am. We got to school in less than 5 minutes.

I am so happy with my backseat!"

Check out this "electrified" bike that one of our customers in France customized using his Companion Bike Seat! His ebike uses the new Bosch eBike system, and he was able to store all the batteries and electronics inside the stash-box. 

We can't wait to see what other cool ways people decide to use their Companion Bike Seat!

Here's what he said about his new setup:

"The Bikeseat has proven to be an excellent kit to electrify a bicycle. I used it on an electric Bosch bike and was able to put 600WH of batteries inside + all the electronics. It is a clean kit that can literally be mounted to any bike, all you need to add to the bike is the motor and the throttle and anyone is good to go!"
