Boogie & all, I now have the Kinekt XR (model?, from memory). I LOVE it for soaking up bumps and shocks before they hit an aging spine that’s had a surgery and many pain shots. Love the Kinekt !!! It cost a lot, but works. I don’t hear any squeaks yet despite 248/6’3”. I’d definitely purchase again. Been able to do a lot more OFF the smooth asphalt trails at state park. I go slow and roll on through new territory, see many deer, large water birds, lakes, ponds. Also loving the foldable Aventon Sinch e-bike !! The new gen with low step through design. Pedal assist #2 to ease it over the dirt trails. Bump up to 5 for steep hills. I SO appreciate being able yet to get out in nature almost daily on bike, bundle up, ride down to zero degrees (just no slippery days).
I’m unfortunately large enough to wish I were 200. 6’ 3”. Folding Aventon Sinch e-bike, love it !! I think I’ll blow the big money and get Kinect XL. Sure wish it were $150, seems like it should be manufacturable with profit at that, but what do I know. Awww. The doggies. We always had one or two, in country, could let ‘em out all day long nice days. Only hazard was skunk bewitching hour just before sunset. Get the boobs in !! We learned , we learned. They’ve had some thousands of years to figure out striped kitty, run the other way, but nooooo, they still run right into the cloud of stink. Go figure. Dogs are good at training us. Thanks for the info.
I have the seatpost and just got their suspension stem. The stem takes enough off the edge of the bumps to keep the hand pain I had when riding from returning.
Hey Boogie, good to see you back with a product review. That's the Rolls Royce seat post! I took the old "Tamer" off my mtn. bike, old pogo stick, spring in tube style and used an an adapter sleeve to fit my Lectric XP. Its only got basic preload adjustment screw but takes the harshness out of the ride. Definitely worth it though, I'd think anyone with a hardtail e-bike would appreciate the modification. Enjoy the trail rides!
Hey Chris, it feels good to be riding again! I have been in the market for a new seat post for a while and decided just to go for it. It’s a little pricey but well worth it.
Great review, Boogie. I've been on the fence about getting one of these and needed more homework to see exactly how they work, etc. Perfect video for that. -Tom
Great video. You definitely treated yourself on this one. I didn’t hear you cover this point. The Suntour post can support riders over 190 lbs. They offer two springs you can buy for about $15 as accessories, red spring (180 lbs or more) and blue spring (140 lbs or less). Medium spring is standard.
Good video.Do you think that it’s worth the investment to put on a road bike?Im about your weight maybe heavier.It looked like you ride mainly off road Thanks
I just got one for my Specialized Vado. I ride mainly on pavement with some gravel. Originally had a Suntour spring post suspension, which I thought was pretty good compared to straight seat post. But the Kinekt is so much better. They recommended to add 20 pounds for ebike application. I weigh about 180 and came with the 180 spring installed. I experienced a bit of “bobbing “ effect and bottomed occasionally. Changed to the heavier spring included and it’s very smooth and comfortable. It’s a Cadillac ride now for sure. I’d highly recommend. On road or off road.
Great review but curious about the saddle you have on there as well. I picked up an ebike a couple of weeks back and the supplied saddle is incredibly stiff despite looking like a nice gel. Its a Selle Royal LookIN model based on what I can see but its feels somewhat narrow. I'm just cruising down riverbeds and maybe will get to trails like you're riding but wouldn't mind something a bit wider if you can recommend something! Thanks again for the great review.
Cloud 9 makes great seats.. But I think a Suspension Seatpost will give you the best bang if you are riding a hardtail. Sunlite Cloud-9 amzn.to/2YxLvbm Suntour amzn.to/3ahzeNW Cane Creek 3G LT amzn.to/3ctbIAc
Have you found a bike seat yet for big men that you would recommend. I’ve been thinking of trying a Cloud 9 which was recommended but they have too many models. Amazon would shoot me if I ordered 6 to check out
Honestly, I have tried a few different seats. The biggest difference actually came with changing the seat post. The one that I have is pretty pricey but upgrading to a decent one that is out on the market will make a world of difference. Also make sure your seat height is set up properly. That can make a difference as well. Cloud 9 is a fan favorite. It’s a little too big for my liking but I hear the comfort is outstanding.
check out Brooks Flyer seat (and all others too) - English Company been going since 1866 - seats may seem a bit weird at first but truly it is the best there is..
Good video! Educational and entraining. Dogs... treat ransom. (LOL) I used this suspension seat post on your bike tour from Pittsburgh to DC (on the GAP and C&O trails) in 2018, and it worked so well, I got one for my wife's bike for our DC to Pittsburgh tour in 2019.

How’s it going Tom!!! This seat post is well worth the money!

Thanks for filling in the blanks. I could not remember the weight class.
I picked one up 2nd hand and I would recommend get one ,helps quite a bit 👍
Hey Boogie, good to see you in my feed again. Nice review, I just have a gel seat cover coz that's about where my budget's at, lol.
Andrew Todd it feels good to be back! It took me two years to invest in the seat post so we can say I’ve paid my dues in pain and suffering..lol
@@BoogieNN well you've got to treat yourself every now and then! Take care mate

Cool review, a fairly quiet trail - which Trail is this Boogie?
Miguel Acosta this is Ellis Island in West Alton.
@@BoogieNN ah, it's been a few months since I have been out to the Riverlands.
