I am using an electric C line Brompton with the big cushion seats and I sweat a lot after sports. Overtime, it has gotten quite smelly with butt juice. I tried to soak it overnight in water it doesn’t help too. Should I just buy a new seat? If so which seat? Probably would need something highly durable as I push it around folded often.

Put it under the sun with a cloth over it
Stop riding it on the World Naked Bike Ride.
Better personal hygiene and a good clean with soap.
Hmm not a post I expected to read today!
First of all, simply soaking the saddle in water would have solved anything. Have you tried giving it a good scrub with a sponge and some washing up soap? I’d suggest doing that if you haven’t done so already.
If that doesn’t work then I’d recommend getting a Brooks Cambium saddle. They’re durable and made of rubber so they won’t absorb any smells.
change saddle
Quit sniffing bike seats
If it’s bacterial, then a night in the freezer will kill them, maybe that’s worth ba try?
Get a leather Brooks.
I think it’s time for a second bike
Step1: Put it on Craigslist say that you are female and it smells like your butt
