handlebar replacements????

[lovinmylectric]

Has anyone found a more comfortable handle that fairly inexpensive and will let you still fold the bike. kinda have my eye on a 3.5 inch raised one but dont want to mess up cables nor steering.

Bump to see if anyone has changed out the handlebars. I too want to change out the handlebars

raised handlebar shouldn’t make any difference since you’ll not extend the handlebar stem the same distance if the handlebar itself has a rise in it.
most handlebar replacements are inexpensive.

I was looking to add beach cruiser handlebars, just wondering if anyone else has done it before I buy.

@bluetex maybe a little late, but for cruiser handlebars see my notes here and let me know if you have any questions.

I´ve put riser bars on my bikes for my back. Upright is more comfortable, but limited by cable
length unless you get a longer wire harness.

These did the job for me. I bought something similar for my wife's step-thru on Amazon, but they were out of stock when I wanted to buy for my XP. I found the same handlebar on eBay, but without a brand name on them. They're totally painted black. Seems to be the same as my wife's just unbranded. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165024484669

Thanks for the heads up on the handlebars, got them on amazon for $25. Just put them on today, I love the more upright riding position. Now my wife wants me to put them on her step-thru.

You can do many things, I replaced the front end on my 1.0

Looks cool, especially the banana seat! Was that at all tricky to swap in? Do you have a list of changes you've made?

I did the front end a while ago, and I just used the cheapest banana seat and sissy bar I could get. Basket bars are Origin8 C;assique CargoUnit. I used a threaded fork and stem.
