Freibeik (The Lion's Den): How does the movable saddle joint work?
The bicycle saddle joint from freibeik is an adapter that fits under any conventional bicycle saddle. The joint can move 15 degrees in all directions and is designed for a system weight of up to 150 kg. Founder Iris-Sabine Langstädtler has thus succeeded in creating a real innovation, for which she even received the gold medal at the Nuremberg inventor's knife iENA. The founders of the Vox show "Die Höhle der Löwen" were also enthusiastic. At the same time, freibeik offers a number of advantages with the saddle joint:
- Suitable for almost any commercially available bicycle saddle
- The mobility of the saddle increases the visibility radius in road traffic
- Free hip movement through the freibeik saddle joint
- Makes it easier to look over the shoulder and relieves the neck area
- The activity of the oblique abdominal muscles is increased when driving

Freibeik (The Lion's Den): How good is the movable saddle joint?
The installation of the freibeik saddle joint is very simple. You only replace the old seat post with the new saddle joint. According to Stern, assembly takes only a few minutes. The colleagues of the news magazine have already been able to test the freibeik product, the conclusion is clear:
Freibeik did brilliantly in our test. From set-up to sit-down. The tool is easy to assemble even for inexperienced screwdrivers, excellently worked and does what the founders promise. [...] We got used to the new hip-free very quickly and never found the slight tilting disturbing. At a reasonable price, the Freibeik saddle joint is an option that we can recommend, especially for cyclists with back problems, but also for those who often struggle with numbness or chafing in the seating area.
