Detachable Bike Seats

The 'Ta+Too' Bike Saddle Seat Prevents Theft by Being Detached

— May 18, 2016 — Art & Design
Bike riders out there who have ever returned to their bicycle to find their seat either soaking wet from the rain or, even worse, stolen will appreciate the design of the 'Ta+Too' saddle seat. The modular seat is designed to be easily removed when the bike is left unattended to deter theft and keep the seat dry in case of inclement weather.

The 'Ta+Too' saddle can be locked into place with a key and is easily removed with the click of a single button. Those who want to switch up the design of their bike can do so with the 'Ta+Too' that allows for the replacement of the top saddle seat portion at a moment's notice.
Trend Themes
1. Detachable Bike Seats - Opportunity for bike accessory manufacturers to create a line of customizable, modular seats for cyclists concerned with preventing theft and weather damage.
2. Smart Bike Accessories - Opportunity for designers to create bike accessories that are interchangeable and customizable to fit individual's biking needs and specifications.
3. Anti-theft Bike Gear - Opportunity for companies to create anti-theft bike gear including detachable seats, smart locks and other modular components for the safety conscious cyclist.
Industry Implications
1. Bike Accessories - Existing companies can innovate with the Ta+Too concept to create fit for purpose detachable bike seats and complementary cycling accessories to expand their product line and market share.
2. Smart Lock Technology - Tech companies can partner with bike manufacturers to incorporate smart lock technology into bike seats, helmets, and other cycling accessories as a response against cycle theft.
3. Sustainable Urban Transport - Urban transport firms can invest and support the development of bike accessories that encourage sustainable forms of transport and contribute to the creation of greener cities.
