Scott B Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 My new EGO Z6 is fairly comfortable but the seat is dead flat. I'd like to try to set it up to have a little bit of a recline angle like I'm used to in my SUV - not to that extent but atleast not dead flat so I feel like I could slide forward off the seat. I've taken the seat off the base and I can see how I may be able to do it but I'm not sure how the seat slide would be affected with the offset angle. Best case would be to tilt the suspension base a tiny bit to give the seat a better angle of recline. I'm checking the teardown videos now but curious if anyone has tried anything.

Scott B Posted June 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 I just noticed than there are 4 bolts holding the seat cushion to the metal seat shell. After removing those screws I could see how its possible to shim the seat to create a better recline angle without affecting the seat rails at all. As a first attempt, I decided to try some thick rubber washers I found at Lowes for less than $2. Adding them to the front left and right bolts holding the cushion to the shell yields about 3 degrees of incline without much effort at all.
