Does anyone know where I can get a handlebar riser? or any third party models that work?

you can order a stem riser from amazon. I ordered and installed one - it raised the handle bar eight by about 5-6 inches. If you don't like it you can always return it (for free if you're a "prime" customer and the item is prime eligible, which i'm pretty sure it was)

I took my Zike to a local bike shop which happened to be a recumbent shop and the owner was able to order it and install it for me if you know how to install or what you are buying you could probably get it at Amazon but if you want to get it locally just go to a bike shop and they if they are a good shop they would be willing to order it and install if you like it doesn't take very long to install it if they know what they're doing. I'm not mechanically inclined so I took it to the shop take less time for a knowledgeable person to do it right.

The handlebars have a little play in them. Like any other bike you can loosen the bolt and the neck and the bars will raise, but only a little... If you wanted to raise them higher, a longer goose neck could be purchased to replace the origional one. You can find these on line or ask your local bike shop to get you one.

Ask at your local bike shop, I think there's something called a "stem extender" that might work.

If you go to twobros.com, you can look up your bike and see what is available for it. I did some research and am happy with my new exhaust. It's a great quality product.

I just got this stepper and I do wish it were higher. Did you ever find more risers? I tried putting all 4 on one side and then put books under the other side, which worked well enough but kind of lame.

John,the STS model you are already sitting straighter.Why would you want to put risers on it?I don't believe there was any changes to the handle bars in size. It's just how high they sit.I do believe there would not be any problem with fit.Have fun riding!

Have not seen one. Bought adapter bars (not sure if they are Thule) for wife daughter bikes. And it worked well. Would not attempt as I see to transport without a support. Lose your bike, cause accident? Not worth it.

I asked the original question, and found that the cables were too short (about 48") to install on my LWB recumbent bicycle with high rise handlebars. I purchased the extra long cable kit (about 64"), and it was plenty long. The XL kit is linked below. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CJZ08U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3QQJCGAGF5OSU&coliid=I34N0Y2A3UPBAA

You can buy a bar adaptor, I did it for my wife's bike and it work well on the Thule Vertex

I have replaced the handlebars on this. It was easy and I used this handlebar off of Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006R1IU5S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Check your bikes there seems to be two different bikes, that or similar, on Amazon.com. the one I purchased has handlebars that are closer. And did not cost as much as the other one.

On their website it says 0 rise but it's about 2" and the pullback is 3". I would compare it to a mountain bike handlebar. I'm using it on a custom install on my Honda Ruckus.

The bar end screws that came with the kit were too long to correctly work the rubber expander inside the handlebars. Easy fix, though- I just put an extra nut on the bolt between the kits extender and my tapered washer. You'll figure it out.

hm... I don't have that problem. It seems like you have a bigger handle bar? I'd bring a screw to a local hardware store and look for a same size but longer ones. Good luck.

My husband is 5'11" and he had to add a 3 inch riser to the handlebars and put the seat all the way up to make it fit....He wished he would have had a 4" riser instead of the 3". We both got the same bike, I am 5'4" and had to put in a new lower seat post. The suspension on the seat post didn't allow the seat to be low enough for me. We both got new saddles as the ones that came with the bike were very uncomfortable....All that being said, we are very pleased with the bikes after making the adjustments. Even the guy at the bike shop who went over the bikes after my husband assembled them said they were a good deal for the price.

No, my riser came with my package. You do not need to buy a riser. Just hook up and ride away...

Yes. There is an adjustment knob on the front that both holds the handlebar in place, and can be used to raise or lower it. Unscrewing the knob completely until it came out, would allow you to remove the handlebar completely (basically the opposite of the assembly process). You will just want to make sure you are tightening the knob completely each time you use it, so it doesn't wobble during use. If I remember correctly, the tube coming up from the base which the handlebar slides into is just about knee-high or so without the handlebar attached. Hope this helps!
