How can I remove the bottom seat cushion on my 2015 Vintage Speedster? It needs to be repaired and I'd prefer to just bring the cushion into the shop, rather than the whole car.

Mine just lifted out without any resistance. There is a fiberglass shell and the bottom cushion came completely free of it when I lifted. If yours isn't doing that it's possible the bottom cushion was glued into place, although I'm not sure why that would have been done. Try lifting it and seeing if it comes free of the shell or look closely and see it it was glued or velcro'd into place. The shell has to be accessible because the bolts that secure the shell to the frame/chassis or under the cushion.
+1, if its glued down, your best bet is going to be removing the seat all together. 4 bolts through the bottom of the pan, easy as can be.
If it is similar to a 914 seat, the cushion is basically just sitting there, but at the rear center of the cushion there is a metal tab that fits into a slot in the seat base of the shell, so you lift the front and pull up and forward towards the dash and it comes right out.
Mine have 2”x2” Velcro tabs fore and aft. A quick tug and they’re out.
