What are the advantages/disadvantages of handlebars?
advantages: bike handlebar grip, comfortable ouce you get used to it, more leverage and solid feel, durability.
disadvantages: heavy, need to drill holes to mount, need to cut to lengnth, have to get used to it, I don’t think you can mount it to a non carbon fiber seat base, harder on seats/posts/rails because of the increased leverage.
unless you are talking about for distance riding.
I am never going back to plastic handles.

Re: Handle bar
What type of handlebar are you thinking of? There’s handles like the basic handle on the front of the seat, the GB4 handle, the Reeder handle, and then the larger and more elaborate contraptions on some Cokers.
