I am having trouble assembling the handle bars? If anyone could help that would be awesome.

Hi, I think you are asking for assistance regarding inserting the stem into the head tube. If so, I too notice a little difficulty in doing so. Grease is the word. Place a good film of grease on the stem, be sure you have the binder bolt kinda loose as to not bind upon insertion. Gently insert your well greased stem into the head tube using SLIGHT right to left rotation motion. NOT TOO MUCH, you will mare the stem's finish. Then tighten the allen bolt, you should have success. When in doubt, look things up on you tube...someone will have undoubtedly posted a video on the subject. Hope that helped.

No idea. Finally gave up on it, tossed it, and ordered a different bike. Once the B R F Bike broke--there was no fixing it. The handlebar contraptions kept coming off no matter how we tried to toghten them. Sorry to disappoint.

I took mine off a long time ago. He bent up the support bars something awful. If I did not throw it away you can have mine. All you would have to do is pay me back for the shipping and handling. I know it is still in excellent condition. Will gt back to you about it. e-mail me at smoriar@optonline.net if you are interested.

Turn the Three pointed knob clockwise to tighten it on your handlebar. Used mine again last weekend at the Sugarpine MC Rally. It was a little loose so I turned the knob and tightened it right up!

It was a bit confusing. Mine didn't have any actual directions either, just a piece of paper with pictures of how to do it. I had to look at the photo and go off that. First start off by making a squared "U", that will be the sides and back. Then add on the bottom and next two shelves, I believe it was a matter of sliding the little legs over the bar. Then the bars that actually separate the can rows should be added last, by sliding the curved end over the back side of one of the poles. I didn't need any tools. Sorry I can't be of more help.

You can put it together in a way that the handle bars point up, out of the way of your knees. I remember this being an issue, but fixed it.

The bike comes decently assembled already. You mainly need to just put on the pedals and handle bars. You could find a tutorial online if you needed to.

I know, it need lot of imagination to get it assembled... gosh, I don't remember how I got it at the end, but I did reassemble a few time to get it right. ==" and the end product is ok. Sorry, I wish I could help. :(

We had the same problem. They came with no instructions. We figured how to assemble by looking in youtube.

Did you follow the directions for attaching them? It was very complicated and my husband and I both worked on it for awhile before we figured it out but now it's fine. Not having that problem, never did, but paid a lot of attention to initial assembly. It took us at least an hour to assemble, most of that on the wheels and ring assembly.

it's not that hard to put together. a second pair of hands would be really all you need, just cause it's a bit awkward trying to do the handlebars yourself.

Mine was impossible to put together. I am very good at assembling things. The legs are moderately heavy and unwieldy, but you don't have to carry them around, just sorta haul them into the right position. UNFORTUNATELY, the holes on the legs were misaligned with the handle bar. I called to complain and was told to box the whole thing up and UPS would pick it up and replace it. So I muscled everything back into the box and it was picked up. I just got my replacement...handlebar. So I have a handlebar to nothing. And there's no phone number to call Gazelle. I'm frustrated and out the money so far. ^_~ Mine was impossible to put together. I am very good at assembling things.

Make sure you have your stem facing the correct way first. The fork should be at an angle pointing away from the back tire. I made that mistake first. Then make sure the brake lines are untangled from the handle bars and insert the rod into the stem. It should be a little snug but should still fit. If you are still having issues, try loosening the bolt that is under the plastic cap on the handle bars. Then re-try placing the rod into the stem. I know the directions are vague but find a video on youtube about bike assembly. It helped me out a lot when I put everything together. Best of luck and I hope you enjoy your new ride.

It's kind of a pain to assemble. I had to call the manufacturer. I only assembled my unites once and let them be so I don't remember exactly how to put it together but there is a very specific way to do it!

I've had a similar problem. The only thing I've done is squeze the handles together above and below the pivot with a screwdriver. This has worked for me - I hope this helps. Best Regards - Philip

I believe I used a wrench to pull it up around the bar.... There might be a you tube video about it.

raymond, hope this helps U. Take the cover off at the 2 nuts where the bar fits, Re-track the bar back. now thread the chain around the sprocket and the slot on the bar, make sure the chain points in the right direction, now adjust the bar forward until reaching the proper tension . let me know that this is successful for U
