Modern Buddy

thought this was funny. and although i will never buy one, i could see it helping some have a more comfortable ride.

Were these originally designed for mobility scooters?

no way in hell one of these would be found on my scooter. They just seem so horrifically ugly. I suppose if they made the seat super comfortable I may,... no, no I wouldn't

This has "American" written all over it (figuratively).

What the heck is "monkey butt"?

Monkey butt is skin irritation associated with sitting for extended periods on something like a bicycle, motorcycle or scooter seat. Sweat,friction etc can lead to pain and excoriation of the area. The butt can wind up looking very red, thus resembling that of a monkey.

Hence the reason why Monkey Butt Powder was invented.

"are you really wide? I mean REALLY wide? well..."

I don't mean to poke fun at the 'less mobile' because any of us could be there one day, but some people only need those mobility scoots because they refuse to use their legs in the first place.

As goofy and as Ugly-American as that seat looks, I could see where that width plus its gel/foam padding would make a long ride much more comfortable.

Mockery aside, that might actually be nice if you were riding with a passenger. I've been told the back of the Blur isn't overly comfy: it's high up, and thin. Depending how it sits on the back of the seat, anyway, might make it a bit more comfy and spacious for them.

I dont know if I could trust suction cups to hold a passenger to the fender of a speeding bike.

Should help that the passenger is also speeding along.

I would never use this product however, no matter how comfortable. Not that I make many, but I have to make a few concessions to 'cool'.

$150?!? No thanks.
