Looking at upgrading my Carporter Triporter. Have seen the kit i need on the UKBC site but unsure as to what handlebar type to order. 'Complete with new' just slots in i imagine but more expensive? Round bar needs some drilling but cheaper. What have people found easier of the two?
I recently bought the kit for my big boy triporter with the hew handle.
If moneys an issue the other is just drilling small holes for some locking screws, literally a 2 min job.
TBH then new handler bat isn't really worth the money, i would get just the round bar if i was to buy again.
The only gripe i have is the rubber handles that come with the kit are utter crap.
Both very loose and fell off, i just bought some cheap bike handle bar grips off eBay for a fiver with locking rings. Tighten with a Allen key and jobs a goodun.

I spoke to UKBC about the round bar and they said this replaces the current one but trying to work out how to remove the current square bar?

Hi,
If you are talking about the bar that goes across adjacent to the handgrips then it is held in place with a couple of rivets. These can easily be removed with drill. Again, if we are talking about the same thing 22mm domestic copper pipe as a replacement fits a treat.

Thanks mate, think i sussed it now. The square bar in the frame is replaced by the round bar. Was having a daft 5 minutes earlier!

You could leave your handle bars as they are and fit one of these
