Oh man, that's not a bad deal at all Jerry!  I didn't search wide enough I guess since I didn't see that BB carrys them at all.  I had checked their own website, and they were all sold out, so it dropped off my list.  Tempting to cancel my order and go for the Aventon!

If the seat is not comfortable, it's an easy low cost fix.  My Rad seat was horrible.  I upgraded to a seat post with suspension and a seat with more padding and suspension for about $50.

One of the reasons I picked the Himiway was the seat looked like it was more comfortable than most I saw, and it was rated for my weight capacity.  However I'm definitely going to replace it if it's not comfortable with something like the Cloud9 seat that is like you say only about $50 and has some nice springs, extra cushion.  If I had gone for the a different bike, would have also had to upgrade the seat post.  I'll let ya know if I end up upgrading it.

Al,
Congrats! That looks like a nice bike. Hope you get many years of enjoyment with it.
Be sure to get a good helmet too.

Researching helmets now, but boy there are just too many options.  Guess I'll head to a shop where I can try them on.  If you have a recommended brand or style, let me know!

Bell helmets are affordable and in the past have had good crash ratings. A small visor is helpful when riding into sun.   Also. Pick up a rear view mirror for traffic. The small clip on glasses or helmet ones are great. If you are on the road edge and glance in the mirror when you hear a vehicle behind and see you might get squeezed it gives you a chance to move over.

YouTube suggested this video to me comparing the Himiway and Aventure:
