I know mate very comfy just fancied a change

On my old S1
Not everyones cup o tea mate, but i found this seat reasonbly comfy well made and quite cheap. easy for me to slide around on it and move position when i did feel a numb bum coming on

I love my Scootopia Pegasus style seat. Not the most authentic looking, but bloody comfortable, even two up with our lass

I like the Ancillotti cut back style I have on mine

Thanks all some good ideas there

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I wondered how you went on with your seat swap ? I run a series 1 and series 2 with saddles as my " 2's" up bikes and find them comfy ,plus as the pillion overhangs the back of the frame further I get more legroom upfront . However, I really don't like the look of the saddles on my series 1 and fancy a bench seat but not at the expense of comfort and room . The pegasus certainly gets good reviews for comfort but how are they for room compared to saddles ?
Any feedback from real world riders would be great .
Thanks . Steve

Steve I have got a S/h seat frame which I'm waiting to get recovered thanks to the recommendations on here and elsewhere , on my other series 1 I have an old af fastback seat fitted I like it better than the saddles as it allows me to move about a bit more on long journeys , I still liked the saddles but just wanted a bit more movement

Thanks for the reply Toddy .
I know what you mean about movement on single saddles compared to a bench , my problem is on my GP with a legshield toolbox and a bench seat is that while it's fine 1 up , with the Mrs on the back my knees are jammed in the toolbox and the wife's right at the back of the seat with no movement. The series 1 has an even bigger Rally style toolbox so I'm pushed further back. To be fair , the Pegasus looks to overhang further at the back plus the back of the seat looks comfier than an Ancillotti . I think I'll have to bite the bullet and order one . I'll let you know how we get on.
Cheers
