This usually occurred when the unit was dropped from a height or flipped over during loading. While often just a nuisance, sometimes the handlebars bent to the point of needing replacement. Determined to find a solution, we collaborated with our engineers to create a handlebar plate with the perfect balance of rigidity and support. The result?
