Yea I have seen those before, cut to size and look pretty good.

I drove 144 miles the other day, that skateboard tape works great, easy to get my butt off the seat to reposition, stretch, etc.  That seat which grips your butt with the slippery floor before makes it hard to move around, but with sure footing on the floor it is perfect, will never go without it again.

Since I have a big roll of the skateboard tape and saved the template I made, I can put on new ones if the old ones get worn.

haha, yep I can understand that, sometimes its not worth it...

I used the roll of skateboard tape i had, cut out some templates with paper, then cut out the skateboard tape.  Cleaned well with alcohol, here is the floor portion:



and the forward foot rest area:

yea, i was thinking about that, only really needed in certain area's, I have a roll of skateboard tape, about a meter wide, so could try it, i was feeling that floorboard this morning, it is pure plastic, hard and slippery....i've seen others where they have an aluminum floorboard accessory you can add, but those would scratch up, but save from scratching up your plastic...but haven't seen any for the Yager

Vivo, thanks, i'm going to check out those shoes, however I do like wearing something that goes over my ankles, one of the problems is I wear AFO's, (Ankle Foot Orthotic), they are to keep my legs from giving out while standing, so now you understand why I can't really stand while riding, but I need to stretch as much as possible for any distance.  One of the problems is the loss of power and motor funciton in my right side, I pull my right hand off of the throttle to shake it to get the pain out of it, and when I had motorcycles it was hard to operate the clutch and throttle at the same time, so thats why I now have a scooter, its automatic.

Thanks for the commnets Wil, most people don't understand the nature of the beast, MS.  Its hard each day, I'm still vertical and as I tell my friends, I can still wipe my ass, although some days it isn't easy.  

come one guys, get real here, when i say stand, it don't mean stand up with my hands off the bars, you really can't stand up on the yager, which i'm looking to do is stretch, lift my butt off of the seat, i feel with the slippery floorboards its hard to even reposition your butt,,,, thats what i'm looking to do, it is next to impossible to stand up

believe me my riding experience is probably far beyond most of you, i roadraced motorcycles, etc...been riding for 35 years....my MS made me sell my GSXR1000 and KTM 690 SMC supermoto....but i can still ride the scooter, but i need to stretch, if you know my pain by sitting in one position too long, you would understand...i need to shift and stretch

me, front row, all the way to the right as you look at the video, this is at Daytona, Amateur National Championships:

i want to stretch for a reason, I have MS, one of the reasons I have a scooter is because it has an open center, I can't lift my right leg anymore, I have no feeling in my right hand, most of my arm and shoulder, my right leg shocks every 10 seconds and last 4 seconds long 24 hours a day, I need to stretch.

I have boat shoes, lived in Florida for 8 years, they are still too slippery, i went out on boats all the time fishing and scuba diving, on a scooter I want a shoe that covers my ankles in case of a crash. 

I hate the slippery floorboard, if I wanted to stand up while riding to stretch out, i'm worried about slipping.

So my question, anyone use anything to make it less slippery?  I have a role of skateboard tape, can cut out patterns to put on the floor and the smaller forward parts where i put my feet sometimes.  I can clean the floorboard with isopropyl alcohol and then stick down the skateboard tape....anyone else done this?
