Garry, is this thread of such value that it should be made a sticky or a FAQ on how to modify A-bike?
Should there be a special department of the forum for such threads.
Repair and modification dep on how to make A-bike suite the rider?

Instead of starting anew with your question I post here first.
A friendly A-bike owner in Sweden sent me pictures of his modifikation of seat. He has the original A-bike too but got fed up with how the seat felt
so he bought this standard seat from Velo.
Cost some 16USD so rather cheap. and he bought a QuickRelease so he easily could make it lay flat to the other parts of the folded A-bike.
He also bought a standard seat tube of alu to be able to fix the standard saddle to the A-bike?

An easy modification I guess for people who are used to mod their bikes?
didn't cost much either. And the result is very comfortable and doesn't take up much space.
More pictures of his combination of standard components to make the saddle foldable here:
