Alligt, the Dutch components specialist and longstanding member of LEVA-EU, has expanded its product catalogue with a seat engineered for a category that has long lacked dedicated hardware: the growing world of cargo bikes and velocars designed around a reclined, legs-forward riding position.

The new seat is purpose-built for vehicles where the rider sits with legs extended in front of the body — a geometry fundamentally different from upright cycling and one that places entirely distinct demands on seat design. Comfort, structural integrity, and versatility of mounting all had to be rethought from the ground up.

Constructed from PA 6 polymer via injection moulding and reinforced with 30% glass fibre, the seat achieves a weight of approximately 1.9 kg — striking a balance between structural rigidity and the weight-consciousness that defines performance-oriented cargo and velomobile applications. The glass-fibre loading gives the shell both stiffness and resilience under the varied loading cycles typical of daily urban cargo use.

Key Technical Features

• Designed for legs-forward reclined seating geometry
• PA 6 injection-moulded construction
• 30% glass fibre reinforcement for rigidity
• Weighs approximately 1.9 kg
• Reinforcement panels on rear surface
• Four rigid mounting cavities
• Compatible with a variety of mounting configurations
• Suitable for cargo bikes and velocars

The rear of the seat incorporates several reinforcement panels alongside four rigid cavities — a thoughtful structural choice that simultaneously stiffens the shell and provides multiple attachment points. This flexibility in mounting means the seat can be integrated across a wide range of frame geometries and bracket systems without requiring bespoke adaptors, reducing both development time and cost for manufacturers building on it.

The addition rounds out Alligt’s commitment to supplying the light electric and human-powered vehicle sector with components designed specifically for the demands of modern micromobility — rather than adapted from conventional bicycle or automotive supply chains.
