The beaded seat cover made a definite improvement in seat comfort and though warm was not as hot. Got up to near 90 today and with 30 miles of WOT, the engine got warm, so this was a good test. The beaded seat cover will remain on the Scooter now until next winter. Been using my Alaskan Sheepskin cover but it provided no added comfort or heat reduction compared to the beaded cover.

Rode scooter to town again today to get some baking chocolate for my son's birthday cake. Took the long way (about 40 miles) and much of that with WOT. So the engine definitely got warm but the seat felt much cooler with the beaded seat cover and feels more comfortable too.

Glad to hear that Dan. Same here, I had a nice long ride this weekend polyester fleece quilt.

I'm starting to be really convinced the texture and quality of the seat cover is important. This Kymco came with a seat cover that feel like IMO it came from a box of crackerjax.
