Advice on Adjusting Tesco Hopper

[lazylegs999]

Hi all
Have a TESCO HOPPER electric bike same as Viking ego I think. Need to make the handlebars higher up so allowing a more upright riding position. Cant work out whether this adjustment is able to be done or would i need to purchase some form of equipment to increase the tube length etc.

Show us a picture of your handlebars and stem. A decent picture of your bike might help too.

You will have to add a stem extender which will simply clamp on with Allen key bolts. Measure the stem diameter to make sure you buy one that will fit.

Something like this.

Bicycle Fork Stem Extender Handlebar Riser Extension Adapter For Mountain Bike | eBay

Included: 1 x Bicycle Handlebar Riser. Use this product to increase the handlebar by about 6cm, and the length can be adjusted by the washer, which is convenient and quick. Applicable to most split handlebars, one-piece handlebars cannot be used.

I'd buy some riser bars, which you can get from Ebay. It looks like you can go up about three inches before you start to run out of cable. If you search, you can get all sorts of heights. here's an example:

I don't believe that you can use the above stem riser on your bike because you have a quill-type stem lock, not a clamping one.
