Ülésszöggel

"Ülésszöggel" is a Hungarian term that translates to "seat angle" or "angle of the seat" in English. It refers to the angle formed between the seat of a vehicle, such as a car or bicycle, and a horizontal plane. This angle is a crucial design consideration in vehicle ergonomics, influencing driver or rider comfort, posture, and control.

In automotive design, the ülésszöggel affects how a person sits within the cabin. A more reclined seat angle might offer greater relaxation for passengers or drivers during long journeys, while a more upright angle can enhance visibility and a sense of being in control, particularly for performance driving. The specific ülésszöggel is often adjustable in modern vehicles to accommodate a wider range of body types and preferences.

For bicycles, the ülésszöggel plays a significant role in rider efficiency and comfort. A more forward-tilting seat can improve power transfer by allowing the rider to push down more effectively on the pedals, often seen in racing or time trial bikes. Conversely, a more level or slightly upward-tilted seat can provide more comfort for casual riding or touring, reducing pressure on the hands and wrists. The correct ülésszöggel on a bicycle is a key component of proper bike fit.
