An adjustable seat for a personal mobility vehicle comprises a panel and a support structure. The panel comprises at least one panel part. The panel part is releasably secured relative to the support structure so as to be adjustable in at least one direction. The panel part has one of either a key member or a mating structure that is configured to mate with the other one of either the mating structure or the key member, which is supported in relation to the support structure to locate the panel part in a suitable adjusted position. Alternatively, a personal mobility vehicle seat may comprise a panel comprising panel parts. The panel parts may be releasably secured to one another so that at least one of the panel parts is adjustable relative to the other one of the panel parts. One of the panel parts may have a key member and the other panel part may have a mating structure configured to mate with the key member to locate the panel parts in a suitable adjusted position relative to one another.
