Handlebar Extention Issues ?

[Slowhan47]

Have extention to raise the handlebar for comfort / but wonder if the wiring may need to be extended also ?
Assume brake connects may have Issues too ?

My Bike is MagiCycle Cruiser-pro is new & my first E-bike, NOT planning on wiring changes while under warranty.
Did I answer my own Question ?

I put this stem extender on my MTB trying to make it more comfortable to ride. I had to redo the front (left) brake cable because it was too short with the handlebar raised 7 inches. However, the rest of the cables were fine. I think a stem extender is what you’re referring to?

Ultimately, I think a riser bar (rather than flat) would’ve been a better solution for comfort as it could’ve been rotated forward and backward in the stem. But then I would’ve had to transplant everything to a new bar, which wasn’t worth it for me… Ultimately this bike went to my son (who is much younger and taller than I ).

Yeah, it’ll be a hassle if anything (especially cables/hoses running through your frame) needs to be lengthened.

BUTT I can allow periodic Recovery stops as a side-effect of Old age /bones

Reread your reply again- thnx2 / My bike wiring in the frame, has a problem with chaffing that might be solved by rerouting outside. Aside the brakes -to me would be less difficult /dangerous ... have heard Electricians say after a "Meltdown" : You forgot to let the smoke out !

Sometimes, these cable extenders can be used if you can find one that matches the connectors on the bike:

No help for the brake & shift cables though.
