The handle bars appear to be set very high in the photo. Is this the case? Almost looks like a chopper motorcycle...

No they are not really that high. Its the way they took the picture. They handle bars and the seat are adjustable. It was perfect for my 9 year old son.

The handle bars are adjustable so they can grow with your child. I bought this bike and my son loves it. He is at the smaller end of the size range for this bike so the handle bars are bent back and down a little bit. It fits him well. He is 5

I believe the bar is higher. Bought boys bike for my Grandson. He loves it. Hard to find tire tubes for replacement though.

Yes. I'm 6'4". No problem with it. The handlebars are high above the knees. It is not built for kids. It's legit.

Hello up there. The handle height can't be adjusted. I'm 5ft 8in and the handle height seems a little too high for me but my wife is 5ft 4in and the height seems fine to her. The handle tube diameter is the same as a normal bicycle handle bar. I think you could easily add and use a bicycle handle bar to increase the height.

You are looking at it wrong. The high point and long sloop is to the rear of the bike. The smallest vertical is to the front.

I don't think it's too high at all ... I quickly got very comfortable with the action on mine. the saddle could easily be sanded down if needed too.

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!

The bike is a regular bike. The handle bars are normal. BMX is a name for riding on a dirt race track but the bike is just built like one not necessarily a race bike. Totally love the bike.

No. I am 5'4 and it's a little higher than I would like but it works. (I feel like I am used to a little lower with my Bob) However, Bob's argument has always been, with running, hitting bumps, etc, an adjustable handlebar might be subjected to to much strain and could break on you. Personally I prefer one that doesn't move for that reason.

I raised the back to make it more level because the steep angle was too challenging for me. This helped. However, its near impossible to use the machine without holding the handle bars, because of the resistance. Could be dangerous, too.

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.

As I wrote before---- this was a Christmas gift for our grandso. He loves it. It wasn't hard to figure out how to raise the handlebars.Barb

The handle bars are about 40 inches from the ground--much taller than any of the Razor scooters that we have.

I have puchased 2 of these on separate occasions. Both were 100% fully assembled. The only thing we had to do was straighten the handlebars and adjust the seat to the correct height (both handlebars and seat are quick release adjustment.) See this site for a great, quick video and excellent review information on the bike: http://www.twowheelingtots.com/burley-mykick/

I have this problem also. The seat is easy to adjust but between my wife and I the handlebars are a major ordeal to adjust; there are four bolts that need to be removed, then move the handlebars and then replace the bolts. Not a quick fix.

Honestly yes I think it is. Maybe best for someone under 5'7. But it's a great bike. I've had offers from strangers trying to buy it from me.
