Is it possible to raise the handlebars, and if so, how do you go about it. I loosened the large bolt, but that did loosen the bar.

It is not possible to raise the bar. The bar is set into the steering column and to raise it, loosens the steering.

The handlebar car be raised by the bolt you loosened but not by much. If you need to raise it more you could buy a different set of handlebars or you could get a longer stem.

I did not find out how to raise the seat...I loved it! Overall the scooter was too small for me, and seat and handle bars too close together. I am returning it. But I hope you will enjoy yours!

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

Hi, I don't think the bars can be raised... but the neck measures approx. 18 inches from the base to the handlebar grips. Remember that this is a folding bike and the size needs to be limited. I find the handlebar height is fine as is. I hope this info. Helped.

I have not tried to adjust the handlebar higher. I don't think it adjusts, but I did not need to adjust it any higher and I am 6 foot tall.

If loosening the collars did not work. I would contact Bikehand and ask if there is something else you can do. Mine was good to go right out of the box. Maybe you can just return to Amazon for a different one. Sounds like it's just bent. Sorry those are the only answers I have.

Sorry the rise is the way the handle bar is made. It brings the handle bar up closer to you . Your arm reach. They will not fit on some mountain bikes. Thanks

I just finished assembling this bike less than an hour ago; so, this is still fresh in my mind. I had a bit of trouble with this as well. First, make sure everything is lined up straight and the screw holes are open. You may need to turn the screw through each of the holes (before assembling) to open them up if they are not drilled open all the way. I also found that it took a bit of "elbow grease" to get the screw to go all the way in as it is supposed to do. The first few turns of the screwdriver are difficult, then it screws in smoothly. Perhaps there is a holding material on the inside of the handlebars that you have to get through, I'm not sure. I hope this helps; good luck!

Sorry, it's been too long since I assembled it to remember. I do, however, remember assembling the bike twice and thinking, how would someone who is not extrememly careful ever assemble this bike without breaking something? I would take S. White advice and check out the YouTube.

Hmm, what kind of bike and most importantly, handlebar, do you have? I have no problems at all mounting it on mine using one of the provided rubber rings. You should find images or videos about it using google.

not anymore. I complained to the seller and they sent me the upgraded shimano shifters that vilano.com shows, and also a cheap adjustable stem that was put together soo tight that no tool could loosen it to adjust the height.

Forgot to mention....I adjusted my seat and handlebars, and had Ace Hardware attach some brakes on the upper part of the handlebars as well as to make it easier to use the brakes when sitting upright. It is also a good idea to have Ace or someone else qualified to tune it after assembly.

Did you put the lock pin outside and insert it in the hole above bolt or else handlebars need to be straighten

You can raise them, but you'll need a hex wrench. But you'll need one, anyway, to attach the handlebars in the first place.

Hi Anna,Thank you for contacting us!

The column that the handlebars mount on to can be adjusted in height but no other adjustment is possible. I wish it was. I'm 5'10" and thought that I had average length arms, but even with the seat adjusted as far forward as possible I can only just reach the bars.
