Planemo Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Don't laugh, but the original Gotway seat just doesn't fit my ass. It doesn't matter what I do, I can't get comfy nor stable on it. The problem seems to be my ass bones sit right on the edges of the seat, so my hips want to fall one side or the other. This has the rather comical effect of me tilting the wheel left and ride as I ride it as my ass bones slip one side or the other. It looks daft, and isn't comfortable at all. To suit me, it either needs to be narrower/tapered like a bicycle seat, or wider like a motorbike seat. At the moment, it's exactly the wrong width. I can't believe I am the only person who has experienced this, yet I haven't seen anyone else suffering. Anyone have any ideas/options? A bicycle seat would be the obvious answer, and they locate properly in your ass, but whenever I have seen them lashed onto EUC's they look Heath Robinson at best and downright manky at worst. Has anyone managed to fit a seat from a different model/manufacturer without it looking crap? Ideally I would like it easily removable as well as per the Gotway one. Suggestions on a postcard would be greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorenStarr Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I'd take the stock seat and add 3-5inches of yoga block foam on the top. You could even add more height than that if you really wanted. The yoga block foam should be pretty easy to work with and cut to shape. Once you like the height wrap it in duct tape and cover it up with baby foam. It'll probably look similar to what a couple of these guys have done. I think the black colored baby bumper foam looks pretty good. Edited January 16, 2021 by SorenStarr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Cheers, yeah I could probably MacGyver something but I was trying to avoid that due to looks tbh. It's not so much height I need either (although it wouldn't hurt), it's mainly extra width (or less width). I am considering cutting side sections out of the stock seat until it fits my ass properly (more like a bicycle seat shape) but I didn't really want to butcher a perfectly good (for some) stock GW seat as it would be worth nothing after. I guess I just need to bite the bullet and try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren0128 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) could always try something like this... maybe lower it a bit. Edited January 19, 2021 by Darren0128 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c5flybyu Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I put a martial arts kicking pad on mine with heavy duty velcro and love it! Postcard attached. 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 That looks mega comfy! But prob a little excessive for what I need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
