I just got a new buddy- the seat seems pretty hard- any suggestions for helping my ride not be such a pain in the butt? Lol thanks.

1) What kind of Buddy?

B) They make a bunch of gel seats, like the Airhawk.

The regular Buddy seat softens up after a couple thousand miles. If you have the low profile seat it will probably always be hard.

I am quite comfortable riding my scooter.

thanks- i sat on a few used ones and did not notice them being this hard- I was hoping it wasnt a design change and it will get softer with age. thanks!

Pick up a solo seat, slightly lower, set back just a bit and plush right out of the box.

Is it normal height? Maybe it was cut down, i.e. less foam.

I've also thought about a different seat. The seat on my Eclipse is a low profile seat, and it's not so much about pain as it is constantly sliding forward!
