Is the handlebar adjustable? I see that it has the stem to assume raise & higher the bar but how about front & back? Thank you

My wife has a similar model with the same stem handlebar setup. It is adjustable, maybe a couple of inches total up and down. You adjust it with an Allen wrench.

Yes, the Handle bar is adjustable. It can be angled with the use of an allen wrench to move the handlebars higher and closer to the rider or lower and away from the rider within about 90 degrees. However, the handlebars are not "up and down" adjustable as one would adjust a seat post.

Yes, as it is raised higher, it is brought closer to the bike. This adjustable stem can be raised much higher/closer than any other adj. stem that I have seen. Just keep in mind as the stem moves closer to the steerer tube, it can impact the way the bike handles. While an up-close adjustment can make for a nice, comfortable upright ride, it can also make for some "squirrelly" handling if too close. BTW, to make adj. on this stem, there is a hold down allen bolt on the bottom, in addition to the 2 on the side of the stem.

No it doesn't adjust. My little guy is 3 feet tall and the bar is chest level for him. It's not too tall for him to use now and he can grow into it. He loves his scooter.

The handlebar is adjustable, my husband is 6' and he is fine with the adjusted height.

Yes, the seat heights are adjustable (in the regular way, by sliding the seat post up and down). The rear handle is attached to the back seat post under the back seat, so yes, it can slide up and down too, but it can't be higher than the back seat. The front handle bar looks like it is the adjustable kind, but I haven't had to adjust it yet.

Yes, the handlebar swivels upward. I am 5'8" and my husband is 6'3". We keep it on the highest setting.

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 particular avenir MTB handlebar I bought has a 100mm rise, and there is nearly 180mm before the curve. I have a 4.5" grip, a handbrake, and an old friction type gear shifter all mounted on one side and equivalent on the other.

No, the handlebar is not adjustable. But we have had various people of all sizes push it and all of them agree that it is one of the best jogging strollers they have used.

The stem does not adjust but my daughter who weighs 140 pounds rides my grand daughters with no strain on the bike at all. If you go to the mfg site they will give the specifics but in kilos

The handle bar tilts up or down. I am short and it is the most comfortable height I have ever had for a stroller. And when my husband, who is tall uses the stroller he can tilt the handle bar up and it's a perfect height for him. I love that feature! I do not have any complaints about this stroller in any way! It was a great purchase!

you can order a stem riser from amazon. I ordered and installed one - it raised the handle bar height 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 ordered the Delta stem raiser for about $28.

Hi, good question. The neck is in a single position and the handlebars are adjustable only to the extent that you can change the angle of the bars themselves forward or back a bit. I found the 2 inch dip on the handlebar made me hunch over too far for my comfort on my 19 inch Edgewood, so I replaced it with a 4 inch dip handlebar. For me, at 6'0", this works perfectly.

If you mount it at the farthest limit mark your handlebars center will be mounted approx. 10" above the top of your neck tube. My stock stem was only 3" at it's highest point! This is so much more comfortable for a taller rider!

How much difference this will make depends entirely on what your current stem is. If you look at your bike's specs that should tell you. For me, this made a huge difference! It brought my handlebars much closer, which resulted in less bending of my back, and it lifted my handlebars upward, which resulted even more in less bending of my back. It is lightweight and strong and affordable, and I think it's the best option out there to achieve a more upright riding position.

Hi Amanda -- The seat can go up and down but does not tilt. It is possible to tilt the handlebars back (I just tried it), but I'm sure the manufacturer does not recommend this.

The stem is the distance between the two mounts. If you have the current bike fit perfectly for you the raised position will give a more comfortable ride. However, a stem too short Mayake you bend your back or arms more than what is comfortable. While unlikely a stem too long will make you ride with arms too stretched for comfort.
