  • Publication number: 20150050073
    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a handlebar or handlebars to a vehicle using a handlebar or handlebars for steering, pulling or otherwise imparting control to the vehicle. The apparatus has a first component for coupling with the vehicle, a second component for receiving a handlebar, a center mount pin rotatably coupling the first component to the second component, a tension device and a lock pin for locking the first and second components at a particular angle of rotation. When the lock pin is pulled, disengaging the lock pin from a portion of the apparatus, the tension device rotates the handlebar about the center mount pin. A ramp may be present in the channel that receives the lock pin, the ramp joining the tension device in having a tendency to rotate the handlebars to a storage position. Varied positions for the lock pin are possible, giving an aerodynamic appearance to certain embodiments.
