pro models are natually far back. about 80 degrees to be exact. if you took that thing off it wouldn't do you any good. just bolt your folding mechanism. that means take the headtube off the deck, take out all that shit inside it, put it back on, and use bolts from a hardware store to bolt it. this makes it alot stronger, look more legit, and have a steeper angle. if you dont want to mess with trying different bolts at a hardware store, there's http://shop.inward-scooters.com/cat...6F6B0DA0FE3CE3C5B52.qscstrfrnt01?categoryId=5 and/or http://www.hardlinescooters.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=14 for bolts and/or plates to put on the sides of your scooter for looks and durability.

hope this helped bro. thanks for joining our site.

I think you have the right idea.

It sounds like your talking about the headtube angle, that is, how far the bars are leaned back... (do to the thing that holds your bars and forks and is connected to the rails of the foldy) If it "points towards you more" then your headtube is leaning back, and can be fixed if you bolt it up forward, like riley said.

no problem. but other than that thats all you can do. pro models are just leaned back alot. but yeah if you want a little higher headtube angle at a low price i would buy the district deck. it has an 81.5 headtube angle versus a pro model's 80.

you guys are all retarded.

Take the BRIDGEPLATE (thing in front of your headtube) off. get 2 bolts from home depot that are 5/16" x 2 1/2", and one thats 3/8" x 2 1/2", with a nut and 2 washers per bolt. then search on here how to bolt your foldy. put the 3/8" bolt in back of your headtube. your HEADTUBE ANGLE will be steeper, and more comfortable for you.
