BACKGROUND: Ride comfort had been a major interest, for riding ebikes and escooters since 1998. Tried cheap vs expensive suspension seatposts, more than ten after-market saddles, including the "noseless", and adjustable-air (pump up/down) types. For the Ego Cycle 2 egovehicles.com electric scooter, the best solution, in 2003, was the Schwinn noseless saddle combined with the $175 Thudbuster. The Thudbuster, however, added 4 inches to the seat height, so made other ebikes too tall. All suspension seatposts do not have dampening, so there is a "bounce" side-effect. Lowering the tire pressure is the better solution, but bike tires will get more flats. Several flat tires with my electric 'cycles made me realize that the electric bike, or electric scooter, is not a viable form of transportation, unless it has tubeless tires. Had only one tire puncture with my tubeless tires, so far. Also, tubeless tire flat was repaired without taking the tire off.
WHY BIKE COMFORT - YOUR BRAIN: Bikes, with harsh rides, jar the brain, causing brain fog, temporary or permanent brain impairment, or even brain injury. The faster you go, the more jarring your brain gets.

BICYCLE RIDING also causes sexual dysfunction, possibly causing expensive divorce:

PADDED BIKE SHORTS made my rides more comfortable, but some of them make walking very uncomfortable, especially the cheap ones and even the "MEC" shorts. Surprisingly, only the super-thickly-padded Louie Garneau ("LG") bike shorts from 2005 provided enough comfort, for me, to make my electric scooter's suspension upgrade unnecessary. My LG bike shorts are the only ones I can walk comfortably with, and wear all day.
TODAY, Louie Garneau has many bike shorts, but I don't know the model name in their 2015 lineup:

COST-EFFECTIVENESS: A statistical survey of fully-contested BC divorce cases came up with an average of over $300,000 to the divorcing couple. And it took over 6 (probably) very miserable years, too. Then, there's huge bias against men in the court system, but that's another subject matter.
