Decked out scooter seats

RockHall Sidecars

Should a scooter seat be garish and standout? Is it a requirement?
I have been told that it's the standard for the seat to contrast with the rest of the scooter.
Some businesses have arisen around this fact, most notably scooterseatcovers.com.
Colored leopard prints and fuzzy seats seem to be big. I don't know why since they must feel kind of slimy when hot, like most synthetics.
The scooter my boyfriend is putting together will be green and silver, but he wanted a totally crazy seat, made to look like a Japanese flag (as a send up to Yamaha). While I thought that could look classy if done right, I'm not sure if it would be taken well by the WWII vets in town. I don't need people throwing their canes at me as I drive by.
There's still a backlash amongst people 50 and over against any country the U.S. has warred against, at least in small towns like Pottstown.
So what should the seat look like?
I don't want to keep it the way it is, with a nice track across it from the former owner's bike laying on top of it for years, but leopard print, un uh.
I don't mind a normal looking new seat, but will that make me look like an obvious scooter novice?
I've seen a lot more scooters around town since gas prices have been skyrocketing and none with tricked out seats or bodies, but I think most people are just desperate at this point, not really into scooters.

This is awesome! Me and my friend enjoyed your article. One thing you should know is that it is useful to me. I think other people will have the same thoughts as me. In the event that people cannot ride this vehicle, people can ride electric scooter to walk around the park or neighborhood where you live. If you are interested in electric scooter with seat products, you can access the website on the internet or anyone who is knowledgeable about it.

How Much Do Hoverboard Cost said...

Great! Your article has impressed me. Thanks to this blog owner for sharing information about scooter seats. It's a scooter, so what about hoverboard? I'm also concerned about its price. How much is a hoverboard?
