Raising Handlebars on Gazelle Ultimate 380+

[rjathon]

I have a 36” inseam which requires the seat on my large framed Gazelle to be raised a lot. Now the handlebars are too low even when adjusted as high as they will go.

Does anyone know of a good way to raise them higher?

Thank you.

What model of Gazelle bike do you have? It's possible to buy longer stems or stem extenders for quill or stem risers for threaded stem types, here's a thread about doing this. In addition to not over extending your brake and shifter cables, Ebikes present an additional consideration of the length of some electrical wiring may affect how tall your stem can be raised. I recently replaced my Breezer quill stem with a taller Batavus Ergomatic adjustable stem and it's made a big difference in riding comfort.

Thanks for your reply.

It is an Ultimate 380+

I wonder if you might be able to add this stem riser, the wiring looks quite tight and might not work so best check with your Gazelle dealer
