Our SIP sport seats are one of our first products ever! They were and still are a showcase of SIP Scootershop which we are especially proud of. The prototype was already designed in 1993 with a lot of blood and scrapers in the catacombs of the first SIP shop. Since then our sport seat was fitted to many custom scooters in the last two decades: „El Sidney“, „Ring of Fire“, „Glorious Basterd“, „Rich Racer“, „Red Bull Racer“, „Wolle 250“, „elf“, „Aeon Flux“, „In the web of Spiderman“ and many more.
The GFK (=GRP) version consists of three layers, reinforced fibreglass plastic mesh, that surround a core of polyurethane. And as a finish a fine porous layer, which can be easily painted over.
For the CARBON – version we use a premium quality reinforced carbon-fibreglass plastic. Besides a perfect racing look the additional advantages of carbon fibre glass are: seven times stronger and three times as stiff as steel, but five times lighter. The seats should be coated with a clear lack, or otherwise there can be some mat spots on the top surface. All the seats are attached the same way with a robust click mechanism on to the frame.
The seat is supplied with all needed mounting parts and mounting instructions.
SIP Classic: The original of the plastic seats and optical pioneer for most of the sport seats from the accessories.
The SIP Vintage sport seat emerged by planning our 12” custom project “Glorious Bastard”. Oldie custom restorations are very cool in these days, though oldie seats are very attractive but are hard to find. Most of these hang over on the rear and therefore interrupt the flowing shape of the frame and side panels. The SIP Vintage seat adapts perfectly to the shape of the frame and finishes elegantly with the rear. Available in GFK (=GRP) or carbon.
SIP-TIP: To increase the comfort for long trips we recommend you the combination with seat cushion that optically fits to the seat. To prevent robbery we also offer you an extra lock.
Installation: For the best fit, carefully trim the Silent Rubbers—if the seat is too high—with a knife. If a Silent Rubber is not making contact with the Frame, this can be corrected by adding a rubber shim. All Silent Rubbers should be in contact with the Frame.
If the seat rests on the knurled screw on the old PX Tank, be sure to order a flat knurled screw as well.
