What is has seat?
A seat is a fitted or removable saddle that lets the rider sit rather than stand. It eases leg fatigue on longer rides and suits a more relaxed posture; the trade-offs are added weight, a larger folded size, and — in some places — a different legal classification for seated vehicles.
What does this mean for riders?
The Pure Electric MCL38 does not include has seat. Among 324 comparable scooters, 6% include it — so it is in line with most in its class.
The Pure Electric MCL38 does not come with a seat. In this mid-range class of scooters, stand-only layouts are more typical than fully seated designs, so the absence of a built-in seat is fairly common rather than an outlier.
Riders should be prepared to travel in a standing position for the duration of their journey. For many urban commuters and short-haul users who value nimble handling and quick mounting or dismounting, a stand-only scooter is perfectly adequate. However, anyone planning longer runs or who prefers a more relaxed riding posture may find standing for extended periods less comfortable.
This no-seat configuration matters most for those with mobility concerns, back issues, or riders seeking the option to rest mid-trip. If you fall into those groups, you might look elsewhere in the category for a model offering a built-in saddle, or consider aftermarket seating solutions to retrofit your MCL38.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pure Electric MCL38
Not necessarily. Seated scooters like the Dualtron Aminia Long Body and Gotrax Flex Ultra still reach top speeds of 25–30 km/h or more, matching many stand-only models. The added seat weight minimally affects acceleration and top-end velocity, provided the motor and battery specs are comparable.
Seats typically add 2 to 4 kg to an electric scooter’s weight. For example, the KuKirin M5 Pro’s seat module adds about 3 kg, extending the chassis by roughly 15 cm. Keep this in mind if you need to lift or stow your scooter frequently, as the extra mass influences portability and handling.
Most scooters do not have pre-drilled mounting points, so aftermarket seats require custom brackets or third-party kits compatible with your deck width and frame. Brands like Gotrax Flex Ultra include factory mounts for optional seats. Always check weight capacity and bolt patterns before attempting an installation to ensure safety and stability.
