JURY STATEMENT

Auto Drop addresses a pain point that has largely gone unexplored. While riders often prefer a higher seat position at speed, a lower seat height when stopping provides greater stability and confidence. Auto Drop offers a smart and intuitive solution by automatically adjusting seat height based on riding conditions. At speed, the rider simply lifts slightly and the seat rises; just before stopping, the seat lowers automatically. With no levers, buttons, or manual adjustments required, this solution has the potential to open cycling to a broader group of riders who may otherwise feel uncomfortable maintaining balance when stationary.
