Riding comfortably is crucial for enjoying your e-bike experience, and handlebar height plays a big role in that. If you find that the handlebars on your Favoritebike are too low or high, you might be feeling some discomfort or strain during your rides. Luckily, this is an issue that can be easily resolved, and we’re here to help!
Why Handlebar Height Matters
The height of your handlebars affects your riding posture, comfort, and control over your e-bike. Handlebars that are too low can cause you to lean too far forward, putting unnecessary strain on your back, shoulders, and wrists. This can make longer rides less enjoyable and potentially lead to discomfort or even injury over time.
Why We Don’t Offer Adjustable Stems
At Favoritebikes, we prioritize both your comfort and safety. While adjustable stems might seem like an easy fix for adjusting handlebar height, they can loosen over time, especially with the vibrations from off-road riding. This can compromise your control and safety on your e-bike. Instead, we offer various handlebar options that are designed to optimize your riding position and ensure long-term durability.
Our Handlebar Options for the Perfect Fit
To address low handlebars, we offer a range of handlebar designs tailored to different riding styles and preferences. Whether you need a higher rise or a different sweep, we have options that can improve your riding comfort.
What’s more, we’ve made it easy to swap out your handlebars by leaving extra length in all the cables, including brake and e-bus cables. This means you won’t have to worry about replacing or extending cables when you upgrade your handlebars—everything is designed to fit seamlessly.
How to Get a New Handlebar
If you find that your current handlebars are too low, you can request a new handlebar from us within the first 30 days of ownership. Simply contact Favoritebikes, and we’ll help you choose a handlebar that fits your needs perfectly. We’ll then send it to you at no extra cost.
Replacing the Handlebar: What You Need to Know
Replacing a handlebar involves removing the brake levers, shifters, and grips from the old handlebar and installing them onto the new one. While it’s a task you can do yourself with the right tools and a bit of patience, we recommend visiting a local bike shop if you’re not comfortable with the process. Professional installation ensures everything is correctly fitted and secured, so you can ride confidently.
