? about seats
« on: December 24, 2014, 03:58:28 AM »
Here's a vendor on ebay that sells a lot of seats for mini bikes. How would any of you attach one of these to say a movie 150 scoot and not look like crap?  http://www.ebay.com/sch/jkinteriorbiz11/m.html?item=251766140965&hash=item3a9e6e7025&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

I don't see any way to do that without it looking like crap. Are you looking for more room behind you?

The prices seemed reasonable and there's no other choices except the oem seat the scoot came with. I have a gel pad and a cover that is acceptable for comfort. If I find a seat that's comfy without the dreaded hump in it I'd be interested in it.

The only practical way is to find a shop and have the mods done yourself. There are a couple of companies that make aftermarket scoot seats but the choices are limited.

Exactly! If you have your seat redone, your bike will feel 100% better. Not impossible to do yourself, but it'll take a day and look better if you pay a shop to do it.

Yea you guys are right but those shops are pricey. Maybe next year or two. I saw those seats on Ebay and I got kinda thinking well maybe..................

That would be worse than your stock seat for sure. Plus all your stuff would get wet in the seat. I feel your pain tho, i had to totally re-do my seat, my knees were in my chest with the stock seat. I ended up cutting the actual plastic seat bucket to get rid of the hump. You could order a second stock seat to play around with. kind of expensive but if you plan on keeping the scooter it'll pay off long term.
