Now to figure out a saddle that fits better than the one that came on the bike...
FWIW After trying many different saddles, my 5'3" wife found a Brooks C17S works best for her on her Trek Verve 3. The short nose keeps the saddle from snagging on her pants when stepping through the step-through. We put a Kinekt suspension seatpost under it and now she's good for 50+ mile trekking days no problem. The stock saddle was ok for a few trips but a bit too soft and chafes on the butt-thigh interface if that makes sense.
I have a WTB Koda on mine and love it, can ride all day. Also replaced the seatpost with a sping-in-tube one (but not as fancy as the Kinekt) to gain a cm in height and get rid of the unwanted pivoting in the stock post. Could not believe what a difference that made.
