I don't want to take away from the spacer possibility.
I live in Chicago area and I called 5 or 6 experienced Ebike repair shops, some of which are also Serial 1 retailers. All but 1 told me they would not customize the handlebars on a new bike because it was too much risk for them regarding product liability and lack of support from the mothership. Serial 1 would not support them for maintaining the bike warranty, which means the bike shop would be on their own if things didn't work out. One shop said they would charge me around $700 to swap out the handlebars and rewire. However, one Ebike shop said, "sure I'll give it a shot, no promises." I recently put Trek handlebar grips on the bike for $40 which helped me a lot with comfort, but it's not the ultimate solution of raising the bars.
 
Hi, Is there a way to raise the handle bar? I leaning too forward and it's not comfortable.
Hello- I just purchased a Rush/Cty and I am very new to this forum. I would also like to raise the handlebar as the current bars puts too much strain on my neck and shoulders. I've read the forum and, quite honestly, I don't see a "home run" solution listed here. Have you found a solution; are you still looking for a way to raise handlebars?
