Blur 220i custom seat? Want a lower seat height?
I had my seat foam re-shaped at a custom seat shop so my fiancé who is 5'2" could ride the bike and be able to touch the ground. They did a beautiful job by keeping the original shape of the seat and lowering about 2" off the front section and also making it narrower. I then had them re-cover the seat with the factory cover. They used stainless steel staples and then painted the staples black. What I did not realize is that she now does not really want to ride the scooter, so I would rather go back to the stock seat height for myself. If anyone is interested in a lower seat height on their Blur 220i, I would be willing to swap seats with a stock seat. Just send me a message if interested. I am 5'10" and can now sit flat footed on the scooter when stopped.

I think Davelhunter is offering this one (already cut down) in trade for a stock seat. It sounds like you could save some money if you two talk. Might be something to think about...
Check out Scoot Richmond's new site: My awesome local shop.

His fiance couldn't reach with the stock seat not him. Since his fiancee decided not to ride it despite the shaved seat he wants to go back to stock since he was comfortable with that to begin with.chickdr wrote:I am curious as well. It seems to me being able to have your feet flat on the ground at rest would be an advantage. Why would you want a higher seat? Is there less foam cushion now?

Now I get it. If you are tall- your knees could be just the right height to be annoying with the lower seat.davelhunter wrote:With the seat height being lower, I noticed my knees were higher than with the stock seat. It was not much of a difference but just enough for me to prefer the stock seat since I didn't need it lower than stock to begin with.
