    Is there a handle bar extension for the XP Step Through that clears the bike computer display?

    You might consider mounting the extension on the rider side of the bars, rather than the front, and rotated down a bit- don't know whether this would allow the nearest display to be centered between the rider and the larger more distant display, with adequate visibility, ...just thinking outside...

    What's a good suspension seatpost plus seat option?

    The stock seat post on the Step-Thru is 400mm. For average ht. riders, the seat with the flex mechanism added should still give adequate ht. adjustment. The diameter is 31.8 Not sure whether this small difference in diameter is an issue.
