How to Install and Secure the Seat Assembly on Your Arwibon GT06PLUS

Adding a comfortable, spring-damped saddle to your arwibon GT06 PLUS turns an aggressive dual-motor off-road machine into a long-range touring cruiser. Long-distance rides on the arwibon GT06 series and other high-powered models across the arwibon scooter range are significantly easier on your knees and back when you can transition seamlessly between sitting and standing.

Because the arwibon electric scooter generates intense acceleration and tackles uneven terrain, installing the seat is not just about tightening a clamp—it requires securely assembling the saddle rail bracket, fastening the heavy-duty folding base plate beneath the deck mat, and adjusting quick-release clamping tension.

Here is the complete, workshop-tested installation guide to assembling and locking down the complete seat kit on your arwibon GT06 PLUS.

Tools and Equipment Checklist

Before assembling your seat kit, set out the following tools:

• Open-End / Box-End Wrenches (10mm & 13mm / 14mm): For holding the saddle rail clamp nuts and base plate locknuts.

• T-Handle / L-Shaped Hex Keys (4mm, 5mm, and 6mm): For securing the base plate mounting bolts and lower folding pivot pins.

• Flathead Screwdriver or Pry Pick: For gently lifting the rubber deck grip mat to access factory mounting holes.

• Complete Arwibon Seat Assembly Kit: Includes the wide cushion saddle, dual-spring under-rail clamp, suspension seat post, folding quick-release base tube, and pre-drilled mounting base plate with hardware.

Step-by-Step Installation Walkthrough

Step 1: Assemble the Saddle to the Suspension Post

1. Place the padded saddle upside down on your workbench to expose the two parallel underside mounting rails.

2. Disassemble the saddle rail clamp: remove the through-bolt, side clamping plates, and central sleeve collar.

3. Slide the central collar onto the top of the suspension seat post.

4. Position the lower saddle rails across the grooved lower clamps, then slip the outer serrated clamping plates over the rails.

5. Insert the horizontal carriage bolt through the entire assembly: outer plate ➔ saddle rail ➔ central post collar ➔ opposite saddle rail ➔ outer plate.

6. Thread on the outer locknuts by hand. Level the saddle horizontally relative to the post angle, then use two wrenches to tighten the nuts on both sides evenly until the saddle is clamped firmly without tilt.

Step 2: Assemble the Folding Seat Base and Lower Post

1. Take the black steel base plate and position the lower vertical seat post receiver onto the center mounting bracket.

2. Align the bottom pivot hole of the post with the hinge bracket on the base plate.

3. Insert the lower pivot through-bolt and thread on its corresponding locknut.

4. Use two hex keys (or a hex key and wrench) to tighten the pivot bolt until snug, allowing smooth folding action without lateral wobble.

5. Install the silver quick-release folding clamp pin across the upper slot of the hinge bracket. Adjust the knurled thumb nut and press the silver lever closed to lock the lower post firmly into its upright 90-degree riding position.

Step 3: Reveal the Factory Deck Mounting Holes

1. Move to the rear deck of your arwibon e scooter, right in front of the rear footrest kicktail.

2. Using a clean pry tool or your fingertips, carefully peel back the corners of the thick rubber deck grip mat.

3. Locate the four factory-drilled, pre-threaded mounting hole locations positioned along the outer edges of the aluminum deck frame.

4. Clean away any adhesive residue or dirt around the four mounting holes to ensure the steel base plate sits completely flat.

Step 4: Mount and Bolt Down the Base Plate

1. Lower the assembled seat base plate onto the rear deck, aligning its four corner slots directly over the four deck holes.

2. Insert a metric hex bolt fitted with a flat washer down through each of the four corner mounting holes.

3. Reach beneath the deck lip (or into the frame channel) with an open-end wrench to hold the lower locknuts steady.

4. Use your T-handle hex key to thread each bolt into its nut.

5. Tighten all four bolts in an alternating cross-pattern, torquing them down firmly so the steel base plate is clamped flat against the scooter deck with zero flex.

6. Press the edges of the rubber grip mat back down smoothly around the front perimeter of the base plate.

Step 5: Insert the Upper Seat Post and Adjust Height

1. Release the upper quick-release collar lever on the lower base tube.

2. Slide the upper suspension seat post (with the saddle attached) down into the lower receiver tube.

3. Adjust the saddle height to your preferred riding position, making sure not to exceed the minimum insertion depth marking etched onto the post.

4. Align the nose of the saddle so it points directly forward along the scooter's centerline.

5. Spin the knurled thumb nut on the quick-release lever clockwise to build tension, then press the cam lever firmly against the post collar until it snaps shut flush.

6. Push down with your full body weight on the saddle to confirm the post holds its height without slipping.

Pro Riding & Maintenance Tips for Your Arwibon

• Regular Fastener Inspections: Dual motors on high-performance scooters like the arwibon GT06PLUS transmit road vibration through the chassis. Check the four base plate bolts and the saddle rail nuts after your first 50 miles of seated riding to ensure they remain torqued down.

• Folding for Transport: When you need to fold your scooter into a car trunk, simply flip open the lower silver quick-release lever, pull the locking pin, and fold the entire seat post downward parallel to the deck.

• Suspension Spring Pre-Load: The rubber dust boot on the upper seat post protects an internal coil spring. If the suspension feels too stiff or too soft over bumps, unscrew the bottom plug of the seat post slightly to dial in your preferred rebound plushness on your arwibon.

• Weather Protection: The padded cushion on arwibon scooters is water-resistant, but prolonged outdoor exposure can trap moisture under the deck plate seams. Store your scooter in a dry environment to keep the steel brackets and fasteners rust-free.
