I think kevin has tried that but that brought the bars nearer to me not just higher and I lost the space between seat and bars, the problem is I'm overweight but was fine on my manual bike as I had the bars/stem changed so I sat quite upright, because this bike has more length between the seat and bars I have to lean more forward which means the weight is on my wrists and palms. I like the extra space and much lower stepthrough though, before this bike we did buy a much bigger upright electric one but I fell off it at Rutland mainly because it was just to heavy for me to hold up when I had to stop sharp ( a gate in front), I couldn't even lift the bike of me. This one is ideal weightwise as I can lift and move it, I hope I can find a solution

A couple of inches might make the difference, Kevin thinks there might be that much with the cables, I'd have liked to have had the stem changed the same as I did on my manual bike, I think we'll take it into a shop after the weekend. We're off to wales for a couple of days with the bikes and dog.

Thanks, Milo is a chihuahua/papillion and his his own basket, he runs alongside every so often then gets back on the bike when he's had enough, he goes everywhere with us. We've already done some longer rides including going around Rutland Water (we're at Knowle near Solihull) and it was a lot easier not having to walk up the hills.

not to sure on how posting works on here so hope these are ok, hubby says something about the stem being welded so he thinks it would have to be the bars that are changed? hope that makes sense

Just wanted to say Hi from hubby and I, we have both just bought electric bikes due to age and stiff knees etc and they are great, wish we'd bought some years ago, I have a ecco folding bike (don't fold it) and Kevin has a powerbike. I chose a smaller lighter bike as I'm not very tall and wanted a low step through which I could get on and off easily, hubby needed a bigger bike as he takes the dog in his basket.

Hi, I have recently bought an ecco folding electric bike and want to know if I can have higher handlebars put on it, the height is to low for me making my wrists and palms hurt, I don't need to be able to fold it as we use a cycle carrier on the car, many thanks
