Handlebar and stemUpdated 3 months ago
The handlebars on our balance bikes aren't able to be raised because we are using what is called a threadless headset/stem. The advantages of this are durability and safety because there are no threads that can come loose over time (hence the term "threadless"). The disadvantage is the handlebars can't be raised.
If the wheel is misaligned with the stem, it can be re-aligned to the wheel by loosening the side bolts on the stem (don't touch the top bolt). Once the side bolts are loose you can line up the bars to the wheel and tighten the bolts back down. Make the side bolts very snug. Below is a picture showing the bolt locations.
