Anyone have one of these yet, what do you think?
I am considering putting on on my 2009 MP3/250.

Not yet, I reached out to AF1 to test the water and they said it is difficult for them to ship anything. Going to send an inquiry over to easyparts and see what they say. They sell the Piaggio Gel Seats.

I heard, that the 2017 MP3/500 will have Heated Seats, and it's coming from Shad. Not sure if it is true or not, but the Top Case on the Sport is a Shad, and I am very happy with it.

On a MP3 250 the charging system has very little excess amperage. You may arrive with a warm butt and a dead battery. Find out what the current draw of the seat is along with any other add-ons to determine the total draw on the scoot. JIMC was posted the extra amps available for 250, 400, and 500s.

Yes, well aware...
Been down that route before on the MP3/250 with the Dual H4 Headlights with Dual Low/High Beams, which I no longer use.
But at that time I was running Dual EarthX ETX-36C Battery's so had plenty of power.

Just looking for some comments on anyone if they are using on any of the older MP3/250/400/500 bikes and if they like it.

Thanks,
Keith

Or you can DIY. Cost me under $50 if I recall to mod my shad.

A couple seat mods
