Eurobike SeatyGo - 1 (1)Seatylock launches SeatyGo detachable saddle
Seatylock has announced a new detachable saddle called SeatyGo that will soon go live on Kickstarter. To be more accurate, it's not the whole saddle that's detachable, it's the shell that lifts off while the rails stay attached to your seatpost.
What's the point?
"It's the first and only complete solution for saddle theft, for keeping your saddle dry in wet weather conditions and for protecting your saddle from long term damage caused by sun and humidity," says Seatylock.
Seatylock's Gabriel Bendersky says, "Just imagine all the cyclists in cities around the world looking for daily improvised solutions to secure their bike seat from theft and trying to avoid a wet ride back home. With SeatyGo we have managed to put an end to this everlasting problem in a simple and user-friendly manner."
SeatyGo will come in three different shapes: Dynamic, which is flat and sporty; Urban, which has more padding; and Ebike, which is wide and well-padded.
The SeatyGo Kickstarter campaign begins on 17 September 2019.

What stops the saddle comming off mid ride that allows it to come easy post ride and is reliable enough it won't fail in time
Quick release wheels and seatpost clamps are common enough, shouldn't be too hard to have a similar clamp onto that rear cross rail.
Possibly but I wouldn't be confident in that my self, a qr seat post at least has the post inside the frame, worst a qr post is going to do in the event of failure is slip down inside the seat tube
3 HexLox and one of those shoe covers that builders are meant to wear to stop their dirty boots dragging mud into clean areas stuffed under the saddle. And a Kryptonite seat saver for added effect.
Now HexLox, pricey but ever so cool and elegant, hope they work.
Umm - plastic bag over saddle keeps it dry, and Hex bolts filled with epoxy everywhere give reasonable security.
And you get a wider choice of saddle and very little spent.
Solution looking for a problem ...
So if somone nicks my seatpost and rails I can still ride my bike with the saddle I'm carrying around in my pocket.... and I can always use the saddle as a chain lifting device meaning I don't have to spend money on something funded through lyons den to prevent my fingers getting mucky. Brilliant
