Hi! I just had a case of mommy brain (I have a 6 mo. old at home who has had a rough day) and locked the keys to my 50 cc Buddy in my seat still in my chain. Could someone please PM me how to open the seat case? Thank you!

Did you get the answer you needed?

Front cover comes off - look opposite where you insert the key, notice the cable end across the top of the ignition unit (for lack of a proper name) and pull it up or right (standing in front of the scoot) which will release the seat.

My wife did this last week. If you look at the front edge of the seat, you can remove the bolt that holds it to the hinge with an open end wrench (12mm, I think.) Pull out the screw and you can lift the seat enough to stick your hand in there and find the key.

If you left the key near the gas cap, you may find that you can just pick up the rear of the seat enough to stick your fingers in there to fish out the key.
