No, but you can order different sized bars....and keep the stock pair for future use.

It can be adjusted by loosening the knob on the side of the handle and moving it up or down to the desired height.

The handlebars are not adjustable, and can't be moved forward. I'm pretty short too, and have even shrunk from 5'4" to 5'3.5". I do have to lean forward, but I try to change position, and even sit up straight to prevent fatigue while pedaling for long amounts of time. I am still happy with the bike, even without not being able to adjust the handlebars. I hope this helps.

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.

You can adjust the height in 1" intervals by turning a thumb screw. Raise or lower the seat and tighten the thumb screw. No you have to get off the bike.

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

Affirmative!. Just use a Pipe cutter to trim the steer tube down to where You want it!. I used Extra Spacers for more Handlebar Height!.

Yes. Handle bar height is adjustable. I have 5 year old daughters that are not very coordinated and they play on their brother's scooter.

You would not be able to adjust the handlebar height, on the Paratrooper, right out of the box. However, the handle bars could be raised with the use of a steerer tube extender or a different stem which angles upwards. You can easily purchase the inexpensive parts from any bike shop.The Montague bike models which do allow handlebar height adjustment with the stock parts are the Crosstown, Navigator, and Boston 8. They can all be raised almost 4 inches without the use of tools as they use the Octagon steering system. In addition, the X50 can be adjusted by about 2 inches but requires an allen wrench to do so.

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.

No, the handle bar height isn't adjustable. However, my son is also pretty tall for his age and the handle bar height hasn't been an issue.

I think so; my wife is 5' 5" and she sets it about half way. It gets pretty small. I'm 6' 2" and I'd like the handle bars to adjust higher so if anything it's on the small side.

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.

My elbow to hand is about 12 inches and I would guess I might be able to get maybe 4 more inches in adjustment. You might want to try seeing if a bike shop might have some aerobars on a bike so you could get an idea. I think they are great and would recommend them.
