Seat for Vespa 50SS/90SS, black, black, piping: dark grey, without lock, with saddle strap Most VESPA scooters have been exposed to almost every type of weather in their respective lives. From the strange Arctic blizzard to the occasional Saharan sandstorm (with the salty sea air), Scooter can experience it all. The seats are usually the most affected by all this environmental erosion. They become sun bleached, begin to crack and eventually tear. With each new rain shower the now exposed foam innards of the seat absorbs so much water that you are guaranteed a wet pair of trousers in the seating area, every time you want to ride your scooter. At this point, at least, it's time for a new location! The seat opening mechanisms of these different seats are operated using a key lock, lever or button located on the back of the unit. Seats equipped with a seat strap are cleared for use with pillions in some continental European countries. When value for money is a deciding factor in product selection and the OE PIAGGIO seat simply too expensive, we have all the usual varieties of seat designs available as aftermarket reproductions. They differ only slightly from the OE PIAGGIO items with the odd stray stitching path, or a little less padding covering the soft central part of the seat. Very recommended for those of you looking to save some money on their seat purchase. All of these seat covers are produced using tough, high quality, weather resistant vinyl. If a different length of seat spike is required to properly fit your particular seat model, it is included with the seat upon delivery.
