can the handlebars be adjusted

Yes only vertically. No horizontal adjustment. However they are well designed and give multiple grip angles so you can get comfortable.

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.

There are about 3 to 4 settings for up & down adjustment. Personally I wish there was a higher setting, but it's not too bad. That's about my only complaint, overall this is a good quality bike. Better than anything I've seen in the stores for the price.

The handlebars can be adjusted up and down, but cannot be pulled towards you or pushed away from you.

Yes -- but up and down only; not front and back. If you don't mind changing the angle of the seat to the pedals, you can use the seat height and front/back adjustment to help you find a comfortable position with the handlebars. The bars are sturdy and have a nice coating for a good grip, but I also added some padding on mine to make them more comfortable for my elbows in time-trial position. I'm 5'10" and find the distance between seat and bars to be just fine.

You can loosen, adjust and re-tighten the cross bars to what you need. I slid mine as far front and back they could go.

With this bike is there an adjustment were you can have handle bars not move and just ride bike like you are outside.

Yes - you may have to adjust the shifters a little on the handlebars, but they fit my bike without a problem.

The handlebar does not adjust. This bothered me at first, as I'm rather short (5'2") but I've gotten used to it and don't mind at all now, especially as I can steer it one-handed. The stroller is fantastic. I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Handle bar wasn't adjustable. But it did not bother us. I'm 6.2 and my wife is 5.8

Yes, they are like a bicycle gooseneck and could be easily removed if necessary. I just received your message this morning and am at work so I can't measure exactly but I am pretty sure you should be all set to clear with the handlebars removed or laid down.

Hi. I am going to answer this tomorrow - it is my dads bike and I know he put on his own seat - so I think the seat adjusts. But I will ask him about the handlebars.

you can buy kits to highten the handlebar. I raised mine by approximately 3-4 inches. Montague also sells a kit for that matter, although that is not wht I bought.

Yes. You can raise the handlebar BUT the lowest setting is already too high for my wife.

Yes they are adjustable. There are knobs that loosen the bars so they can slide to a different position.

The handle bar is fixed height, not adjustable. The seat is adjustable. It's not a very comfortable bike, regardless of height. It's very wiggly due to the small tires and narrow handlebars combined with a butt killing seat.

Yes, the handle bar adjusts horizontally and vertically. The seat also adjusts horizontally and vertically.

Sherry, no the handle bars do not adjust towards the seat. They only adjust up or down. I'm 5"2 and love this bike. It works well for me and I use it 4-5 times a week for almost 1 year now.

he rear handle bar is attached to the front seat and can be adjusted slightly depending on the height of the front seat. the front is not adjustable

Not in the traditional sense. You can get the handlebar pole section down but that's as far as you can go and even that you wouldn't want to do too many times as if that piece loses its' ability to tighten correctly your steering will be greatly impacted.

No, the handlebars do not adjust, only the seat adjusts. Since this isn't a spinning bike, or along those lines, you really don't need them to. A good deal of the time your hands won't be on them, or will be on the part that runs left to right in front of your body -- the part that runs perpendicular to the LED mounting post. This bike is a awesome, especially for the price. It is absolutely quiet and runs perfectly smoothly. I would definitely recommend it. I like it so much that I have been checking into purchasing an elliptical by this company as well. Hope this helps!
