is it worth it getting the handle / stabilizer bar with it?

It probably depends on the person and how they are using it. I'm middle aged and over weight so I'm not going too crazy on it and am doing fine without one though I do have it close to a wall just in case I need to stabilize myself. An older person might need one or a fit younger person might want one for a more aggressive workout.

It depends on how actively you exercise and how good is your balance. I bought the bars for another model and as yet have not installed them. But If I took it outside and really grabbed some air, may go ahead and install. Otherwise using in a corner or near some furniture is helpful if you need to stabilize. You can always order later if unsure.

I think so especially if you tend to be clumsy, bad sense of balance etc. When I try to stop I tend to get tipsy so I'm thinking the stabilizer bar would have helped. Also when I'm jumping it would have kept me more upright and balanced (if that makes sense).

JC, I did not get the handle/stabilizer bar. I had no prior experience and I was able to do all the moves on the trampoline without any difficulty so I cannot personally see the value in a handle/stabilizer bar. I am fairly athletic with good (maybe excellent) balance. If a person was not as sure of balance then maybe a stabilizer bar would be good to start with.

My friend got one and suggested it. I am 60 and have to admit the stabilizer is comforting when I want to jog on it or jump high. It is adjustable and worked great when my grandkids were here too! One wouldn't want to fall and this assures that security. I love both my Jumpsport and this added feature.

the lock up will be solid either way, but im my opinion the solid feel,durabuility and simplicity of the titanium handles are worth the 50 bucks.

I don't use the extra bar. I've only used it for a few trips, but so far, so good. I just turn the back wheel more superiorly so the bar sits on the rack. I suppose shifting might be more of an issue on longer trips.

yes the chain guard and the knobs to adjust the seat and handlebars. Also the yellow knob that changes the pressure/difficulty on the fly wheel. The chain guard is the only think I would worry about breaking though. I have hit it with my foot a bunch of times and it hasn't broken yet!

It is not necessary, but it is a very good upgrade. As mentioned, the kayak will track better, and be more rigid. Do not use this bar for whitewater, though.

I have never used the handlebar, I just bought it put on my old bike when I bought new once. Sorry.

Just 1. There is a stock stabilizer but good idea to put after market one on if your lift is 3" or more.

The stabilizer works well easy install and it is a little firmer than the stock on is with a lift. It works well to take away from the wobble in the steering wheel. I dont think its something that is going to completely change the handling of your jeep but it is noticeable. Ive been really happy with mine

Yeah, just get a standard handle rail adapter and it will work fine. It'll just be ugly as sin.

im torn between them as well. was going for the bar32 because the listed price was higher so assumed better quality but i've been to the DeLonghi website and they are both for $99. so i wonder where did that $210 came from? lol . but i think im still going for the BAR32 though.. just like it better i guess...

Just buy the whole thing- chances are that the handle is soon to break anyway and you can sell the rest on e-bay if you like. All the best

It's not a deal breaker for me. I ordered a Kuhn Rikon Cool Gripper from Amazon for $12 [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003B671DY/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1] and use that more often than the handle it came with. Have had this set for almost a year now and am still using it and still love it.

No, the handle was broke when I got it new. I put a piece of conduit over it to salvage the unit. The stock handle is junk, but now it works well for me.

If you are planning to get this, please call Amazon and confirm parts included. Twice i returned it because i received only handle.. Then they said, this sale is only for handle.

It spins great, not sure about the bar type handle. I called the business itself with some questions before I purchased and they were incredibly helpful, give them a call.

Not really. It depends for how far the commute is. Anything over a few miles in traffic could be a challenge. The folding mechanism for the handle bars is a bit wobbly even after being locked in place. The smaller diameter wheels along with the handle bar wobble makes the steering a bit unstable. I use the bike for camping trips and the occasional ride around town, which I find sufficient for the price I paid.
