Which one is right for me?

There are several types of handlebars. If you’re simply wanting a replacement handlebar, this should be a straightforward process. If you’re looking for something a bit different or would like to upgrade your scooter, we'd always recommend upgrading to a 1-piece setup as these bars tend to be far stronger than 2/3-piece bars. Most handlebars will be a variation of a standard T-Bar (named after it's shape). A Y-Bar for example, is simply a T-Bar with two struts added for strength. More expensive bars will also tend to be constructed from stronger, lighter metals.

It’s also worth mentioning that there are two widths of bars: standard and over-sized (HIC). As the majority of scooters don't have an HIC Compression kit fitted, (only £200+ scooters tend to have an HIC) most scooters will need standard width bars. Most scooters come with handlebars around 21-23" long. When purchasing bars, make sure you're getting a length you'll find comfortable.
