custom folding mech (edited)

[lalaland177]

i made this on sunday,. i took out all the deck pins and replaced them with bolts, its also bolted two times to eliminate all movement, i need to weld on two more pieces of metal then it will work great.

edit:
well, nice, but that still won't save your deck though, the bolts are too close to each other anyway which causes the deck to rip into pieces where those 4 bolts connect the foldy to the deck.

 

[Hopesta]

Yeah! what he said

 

[lalaland177]

what, why does it do that???

 

[nickpappapump]

do it on tinypic.com

Uh, based on what it sounds like you're trying to say, you basically just did a basic foldy lock. You took out the pins and replaced them with bolts... that's pretty normal. I think. I can't see the pics though...

^^ look at his sig, hes not a massive noob like you.

austin, fix yo links bro

 

[lalaland177]

yeah im going to fix the links now, and its not just the pins, i build a whole new system.

looks similar to the new a foldy except it's welded together = not as strong. So I dunno..

 

[lalaland177]

actually the pro model is welded together = not as strong? i dont think so, and the new a models foldy's thickness is half as thick as what i used.

 

[metrocardscheme]

that s a new a head tube? looks like one

 

[charles]

it looks like it is better then a normal one.
but it looks gay.
but hell id ride it.
cool idea bro

 

[trogz]

If its bolted to the deck, then how is it better than a new A?

 

[ridescoot14]

cool but wats wrong with a pro???

 

[idk47]

Props for trying something new. But it will still rip out of the deck.

 

[scootbobby]

its just a thicker version of the new a, good try though keep it up

 

[scooterperu]

it still being a new a... it'd break

 

[lalaland177]

oh yes i forgot to say something. the people who said that the bolts just rip out of the deck are right, insted of the junk stock bolts that hold the foldy onto the deck, i welded on bigger nuts and put bigger bolts through the deck with bigger threading to the piece of metal that is inside the deck now. (it dosent show it on the pictures because i just did that yesterday)

and for the people who asked why i said the pro was a bad scooter, i dident say it was bad, i just said that welding three pieces of metal together is not always weeker than a bent pice of metal (stock new A foldy) and i used the pro model for an example.

 

[D= its sam!!]

looks pritty cool, props on tryin

All you haters are a bunch of retards!! What he's done is a good idea. Welding IS stronger than bolting. Yes this will work better than a stock new a foldy and it will be stronger and i think it's a good idea, I just hope your deck's reinforced!?
