Kugoo M4 Pro seat issue

Has anyone ever removed the entire seat bracket from an M4 Pro? I'm. Never going to use it and if you remove the user serviceable parts of it you are still left with a swine of a bracket right where you'd put your foot. Ideally I'd like to remove it. There's two bolts that you can unscrew but it seems like the back end is attached to the rear axle?

Thanks!
