I think this topic should be closed because it is pointless.
On pretty much every scooter the seat needs to be pushed by hand in order to be closed.
To the contrary, A125 has one of the easiest closing seats - for example, on my People and a number of others scoots, the sit does not close by itself even when you SIT on it.
This is also a good precaution because it prevents a lot of locking keys under the seat...
If we continue like this, soon there will be complaints that training wheels need to be fitted to scoots because they are otherwise too much out of balance...
well i don't think it needs to be closed because its "pointless." it has a point, and the point is even my dealer says the seat makes no sense to him and is difficult to close. "one of the easiest closing seats?" i think not!
on a Buddy for instance i press gently and it clicks closed. on my Agility i have to lean on the damn thing for 30 seconds or more, pound it until i think it might break, or high drop it and hope it shuts the first time, if not the second or third. all that compered to a simple "click" on other scooters. and now my latch is loose and i fear it might break so it won't close at all, or won't open one day
i think the thread is just from a new owner who wanted to know "whats up with this seat" and the suggestions and tips are pretty helpful. also it may have brought someone in who had a solution to our difficulties closing this seat sometimes
may seem a small thing to some, but its certainly worth some conversation
