Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Founded in 2018 by Mickael Galaup, Bikesellier (BKS) was born from a deep passion for motorcycles and 100% handmade craftsmanship. Each cover is carefully designed, crafted, and finished in our workshops in France, to give your machine a unique identity (50cc, Supermoto, Electric Motorcycle).

Unlike factories or import sites, we do not have a warehouse of finished products. When you confirm your 3D configuration, our team cuts the specific pattern for your saddle, embroiders your personalization, and then proceeds with hand-stitched assembly. This high-end French craftsmanship requires patience, for a result not found elsewhere.

We refuse basic materials. Bike Sellier uses professional anti-slip Grip essential for Supermoto/MX braking, genuine Alcantara, high-resistance textured synthetic leather, and assembles it all with unbreakable and waterproof marine-grade sewing thread.

Yes, absolutely! More than 95% of our young riders install their covers themselves.
Our pattern is precisely calculated. Remove your old staples (flat-head screwdriver), position the cover, pull to smooth out wrinkles (our elastic material does the rest) and secure with a simple staple gun (6mm staples).

If your foam is severely damaged (missing pieces due to a fall), stretching a new cover over it will create an unsightly bump. We strongly advise injecting polyurethane foam into the cavity, sanding it with sandpaper once dry to restore the original shape, before stapling your new BKS cover over it.

We provide a picture tutorial with all the tips (using a hairdryer to soften the fabric) on our BKS Seat Cover Installation page.

No. In accordance with Intellectual Property laws, reproducing registered logos for commercial purposes is totally illegal (counterfeiting). As an official French artisan, Bike Sellier formally prohibits these practices, unlike distant and black market imports. However, you are completely free to customize the typography, your first name or your personal team logo!

The Grip (the rough material on the seat) is crucial in Enduro, Cross and Supermoto. It allows you to stay anchored to the bike during heavy braking without sliding on the tank, preventing fatigue and increasing your riding performance. On sports roads, it is also a huge safety asset.

Do not use a high-pressure cleaner (Karcher) at 5cm from the grip, it will fray the technical weave or ruin the Alcantara!
Apply a soap or our special BKS cleaning pack, use an extremely soft-bristled brush, rubbing gently, then rinse from a meter away with low pressure. Always let it air dry or use a microfiber cloth.

Yes, we have a huge base of riders in French-speaking Europe. Bike Sellier exports daily to Switzerland, Belgium and all over the rest of Europe, allowing our cross-border enthusiasts to access French craftsmanship without paying the prohibitive prices of small local saddlers.

In accordance with legal directives related to craftsmanship, any custom-configured item (3D Cover, embroideries) is manufactured specifically to your image and therefore cannot be returned or canceled once production has started.
Returns are only possible for non-personalized products (maintenance kits, etc.).
