Got a nifty new seat cover for the iScoot and thought I would share the love!

Got it at Cheeky Seats.

I like it! You should do a cheekyseat review!

how did you do the crate setup? for all the oohs and ahs, I do have some spare milk crates (ironically formerly used for RPG books, nerd!). I'd like to set something up so I can just put it on for grocery trips but remove it for everyday riding.

I already had a chrome rack on it, then attached the crate with a combination of thick bungee cord and heavy-duty zip ties. I'll snap some close up pics this weekend and post.

I like it! Very spiffy.

Skully, bungee straps from Wally World ftw! I have some pictures of how I strap my crates on when I take the scoot grocery shopping, I'll send them to you.

I got a custom one from cheekyseats with a Carolina Tarheel print fabric. I forgot the name of the gal who did it for me but she was very patient and worked with me. GREAT SEAT COVERS.

That is so darn cute!!

I've got her re-covering a backrest pad for me right now. I'm excited to see how it comes out. Mine will be quite a bit more plain than awesome scooter-covered fabric though, lol.

I worked with Suzy and couldn't be happier with the customer service. I ordered an additional cover from the website, but it turned out the fabric wasn't available. She went WAY above and beyond to find the same fabric or something similar. Highly recommend...excellent product and exemplary customer service!!

^^^^^Suzy!! Yeah, she was super helpful. That reminds me, I was thinking up another "Hunter Thompson" themed cover and got side-tracked! If you want a seat cover with personality, that is the place to go, plus theyre reasonably priced.

I'm confident that god create the heavens and the earth using nothing more than zip ties and bungee cords. He stopped on day six because he ran out of zip ties.

Nice mod!

Adding photos of the additional seat cover. Love it....!

Thanks again to Suzy at Cheeky Seats for her help resolving the original problem. Totally worth the wait!!

Suzy absolutely ROCKS! I wanted a custom cover with fabric that was almost impossible to find. Suzy was a bloodhound - eventually sourcing from Singapore. I couldn't be happier with the final product.

Highly, highly recommend!

OMG! That is the cutest thing ever. I just ordered a cover from her. Will post pics when my Harleigh is all ready, including the final paint job.
