Replacement Custom Seat: Union Jack for the Buddy 50
Hello from Portland,
I am buying a Buddy International Brit edition. It's blue and white and looks great. However, it comes with a black seat and I saw one version on sale with this incredible seat stitched in the form of a Union Jack. Here is a link to the scooter and an image:

It does not appear to be a seat cover, but I am not certain. Can anyone help me track down this seat?
As an alternative, I may purchase a white replacement seat to add some additional graphic pop to the already great looking scooter. Any suggestions there?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Try Cheeky Seats at sales@scooterseatcovers.net. They can make one and
may have made the one pictured. Excellent workmanship and good people to deal with.

Ditto to that! Suzy is the best. Check out her Facebook page. And yes, that looks like one of hers.Wolfhound wrote:Try Cheeky Seats at sales@scooterseatcovers.net. They can make one and

That sure is a purty scoot!!!craftynerd wrote:I highly recommend Suzy's work - I recently got a cover for my Buddy's seat, black with seafoam piping, and she sent me fabric samples to make sure the seafoam piping was as close to Genuine's seafoam color as it could get!

UPDATE! I found the answer for color-matching exactly
First, thank you to everyone for responding to my question.
I contacted Cheeky Seats (scooterseatcovers.net) and they are currently creating a British flag/union jack seat cover for the Buddy "Little International" Brit edition's royal blue color. The rep was very helpful.
If I manage to get this, I'll snap a picture so you can see how the match turned out!
Cheers,

Just for anyone that might be interested in this, we have found a much better matching blue for the Brit Blue and are working on doing the Union Jack in the new blue. We'll post a picture of one on a Brit Buddy as soon as possible.
Hope everyone is enjoying the gorgeous fall riding as much as I am!
