Removing rear seats?

this is probably the wrong section but.
I'm going to collect my new toy at the end of the month.

a Honda Ruckus, Smile

it measures around 190cm long by 107cm tall by 74 cm wide.

So by my working out it SHOULD fit in the rear if i remove one half of the rear seating. Passenger side.

has anyone removed the rear seats? any thing i need to be careful of?

Mine aren't heated and it was dead easy taking them out. In fact I'm doing it again later this week for a shopping trip of my own.

They are heavy though.

Cheers. I'll give it a blast I'm sure the heated seats will just have some clips to undo. Smile

Its just a Honda Ruckus or Zoomer as its called in the UK.

Ive been looking for one for a while and found a gem. a 58 plate with 375 miles from new.

Its a project. I'll be fitting a wider rear wheel, and stretching the frame.
should look something like this when I'm done...

It won't be fast at all as its only a 49cc. I may swap out the engine for a 125cc in the future

Looks fun, how heavy is this "bike" or do you just drive it in to the rear bend over and park it on the tailgate? Very Happy

It's 82kgs, So it will take two people to load it safely.

I could do that also but end up in hospital I think. To heavy, but the green one looks like fun.

I dont think there are easy to get at connectors for the rear heated seat bases IIRC.

Just fold the seats up and sit it diagonally instead of faffing around removing seats Smile FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Why don't you get a small bike trailer for it ?? That way you can easily load it yourself. And if you want to keep it dry and clean while driving around, get a covered trailer Smile MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
