Swapping a flat bar for a riser with a bit of back-sweep brings the grips up and toward you, relaxing the wrists and shoulders; on a commuter e-bike it can be the difference between a bike you ride and one you avoid. Generic alloy risers with 31.8 mm center clamps, around 680 mm width and 40–60 mm of rise are widely sold. The 22.2 mm grip sections accept standard grips, levers, shifters and throttles. Moving controls over is an afternoon job; be ready for cables and the display lead to come up short if you go much higher.

An adjustable stem is the quickest way to raise the bars and sit more upright, which is what most e-bike riders with wrist or neck discomfort want. These alloy stems clamp a 1-1/8 inch threadless steerer and a 31.8 mm bar (25.4 mm versions exist), and a single bolt lets you set the angle anywhere from flat to near vertical. They are heavier and slightly flexier than a fixed stem and the angle bolt must be torqued properly. Check your steerer diameter and bar clamp size before ordering; folding bikes often have a proprietary stem that these do not replace.
Best for: Riders who want a more upright position · Fitting a bike that feels too stretched out · Commuters adjusting reach without buying several fixed stems

ODI's Rogue is a thick, soft lock-on grip from the brand that made lock-ons standard, and it suits e-bike riders who want more cushion than a thin grip without the wing shape of an ergonomic model. The large diameter fills bigger hands, the rubber is tacky when wet, and the aluminum clamps stop it from spinning — a real issue on throttle bikes where a stock grip slowly rotates. They come in a standard 130 mm length; if your bike has a twist throttle or shifter, the grip on that side will need to be cut or you will need a shorter version.
Best for: Riders with larger hands or who want a thicker grip · Replacing stock grips that rotate · Wet-weather riders

Raising the bars, fitting a longer stem or moving a display often leaves the cable an inch too short, and the Julet 5-pin extension is the fix. It is a male-to-female waterproof lead in the same keyed format as the display connector on most KT, Lishui and generic controllers. Lengths from 30 to 100 cm are sold; buy the shortest one that reaches so you are not stuffing loops of cable behind the head tube. The same 5-pin format is used by some throttles and lights, so double-check what the lead on your bike is actually feeding before you order.
Best for: Riders who raised the handlebars or changed stems · Cargo and long-tail conversions with long cable runs · Relocating the display to the center of the bar
