Can the top be lowered and how does this affect the handle?

It can. It just can't be on the same level as the handle. It has to be either above or below.

Yes Elizabeth, the top can be lowered, and the handle can be installed below or above the shelf when it is moved

Cannot be raised up and down. Handle can be moved for more resistance and two foot pedal heights. Weights can be put behind seat.

I'm sure the handle can be put on the other side. That would work if you can make the adjustment of having it on the left side.

Not without a dollop of effort! It's adjustable for heights and can, then too, be un-screwed and disassembled into two pieces! An aside: gingerly place it upright on the floor, carpet etc and notice it tips FORWARD or BACKWARD...to offset the extra material in/on the handle! Intriguing! jhm

Sorry but the bar itself cannot be lowered. try a doorway pull up bar, I got a multi grip one on Craigslist for 20$

No.. U cannot remove the top handle. But u can fold and use comfortably.. Its not bulky, but strong enough.

No...there is no way to adjust the handle, but the frame is stable and manuverable, so that should be a help. MM

You cannot raise or lower the actual seat. You can only adjust the (adult) handle that is used to push the bike.

No, it doesn't adjust down. I am 5', so even though directions say it cannot be adjusted, I had one of the pole sections cut down 2 inches. I may have it cut down one more inch because it was a slight strain on my right arm. The tension in the elastic inside was not affected. I love the single handle on it, whereas some have a thicker handle due to folding seat. There are some less expensive ones I have discovered, but I love this one. I had to wonder what Security thought when the x-rayed it. I put it in my checked luggage on the top so they didn't mess up my clothes getting to it. Sort of looks like it could be a rifle.....Happy travels!!!

The top shelf can be lowered, you just need some muscles to remove it. There is a black plastic thingy under the metal that keeps the shelf in place. You can lower the black thing and then put the shelf again at the level you need it to be. Also a nice feature are the legs, they have black screws that be screwed in or unscrewed to level the entire shelf unit if you don't have a perfectly straight surface. However, you still need to take the poles into account. I hope this was helpful.

I believe that the handle height is not adjustable. I do not remember any options for adjustments when we assembled it. We bought as a gift for grandchildren out of the area, so I can't physically check. They are 4 & 1.5 and have no problem with the height. The older one doesn't use the handle anymore. But it doesn't seem to be in the way either.

No. The handle isn't adjustable. It does seem to go down to the ideal height to get the best leverage through.

I purchased this for work and my employee uses it, however I seem to think that possible the handle may go down, not up? I could be wrong on that.

Yes, you can. It might droop in a little because the sides aren't very firm, but it can work if you are not a perfectionist. I just tried it with mine, and it doesn't collapse in. It's just a little saggy/droopy at the top but not terribly so. It worked best with the handle side at the top.

I am guessing you HAVE to replace the handle, otherwise it would not be a good idea. If so, I do not think the head is too heavy to put the shorter handle on it, but I do like the way it handles with the factory length.

Even with the handle fully lowered you cannot have the handle touching the floor and still have the beater bar touch the carpet/floor. The handle must be held 12-14 inches above the floor to have the beater bar fully down against the floor. This is a design flaw and not user correctable. I do not know of an online link to the manual.

No, the top will come down a little but not much. It's easily straightened with a little pull
