Introduction/challenge
Many e-bike riders want a more individual riding position that goes beyond the possibilities of classic standard handlebars. Standard handlebar extensions are only available in fixed sizes, do not allow any real customization and restrict the e-bike design.

The manufacturer uses the Tiq 2 from innovatiQ to print customized handlebar extensions directly using the FDM process.

• Adjustment of height and fore/aft offset (+20 to +40 mm)
• Aerodynamically optimized geometry for modern frame design
• Material: PA-CF → light, stable, weather-resistant

• Noticeably more riding comfort & ergonomics
• High resilience to bending and torsional forces
• Small series & individual parts from batch size 1
• Individual dimensions & designs
• Fast iteration for design changes

Conclusion
With the TiQ 2, the customer realizes a tailor-made premium solution:

• More comfort for the driver
• Lightweight construction & design freedom
• Cost-effectiveness even with customized production

In this way, the manufacturer is strengthening its position in the high-end e-bike segment and offering its customers a real differentiating feature.
