A multipiece handlebar assembly, comprising:
- a first handlebar section having a first grip end spaced apart from a first handlebar mounting end of the first handlebar section;
- a second handlebar section having a second grip end spaced apart from a second handlebar mounting end of the second handlebar section;
- a first interjoining feature at the first handlebar mounting end;
- a second interjoining feature at the second handlebar mounting end, wherein the first interjoining feature is removably secured to the second interjoining feature;
- and
- at least one removably secured attachment feature secured through the first interjoining feature and the second interjoining feature, wherein the first handlebar section and the second handlebar section are connected together when the removably secured attachment feature is secured through the first interjoining feature and the second interjoining feature, and wherein the first handlebar section and the second handlebar section are disconnected when the at least one removably secured attachment feature is removed;
- a first wiring port disposed between the first interjoining feature and the first grip end;
- and
- a second wiring port disposed between the second interjoining feature and the second grip end.
A method for assembling a multipiece handlebar assembly, comprising:
- providing a first handlebar section having a first grip end spaced apart from a first handlebar mounting end of the first handlebar section, a first interjoining feature at the first handlebar mounting end, a second handlebar section having a second grip end spaced apart from a second handlebar mounting end of the second handlebar section, a second interjoining feature at the second handlebar mounting end, wherein the first interjoining feature is removably secured to the second interjoining feature;
- removably interlocking the first interjoining feature and the second interjoining feature;
- inserting wiring into the first handlebar section through at least one wiring port disposed at the first interjoining feature;
- inserting wiring into the second handlebar section through at least one wiring port disposed at the second interjoining feature;
- and
- removably securing at least one attachment feature through the first interjoining feature and the second interjoining feature for assembling the first handlebar section to the second handlebar section.
A multipiece handlebar kit, comprising:
- a first handlebar section having a first grip end spaced apart from a first handlebar mounting end, wherein the first handlebar mounting end includes a first interjoining feature with a first interjoining attachment feature and at least one first wiring port disposed at the first interjoining feature;
- a second handlebar section having a second grip end spaced apart from a second handlebar mounting end, wherein the second handlebar mounting end includes a second interjoining feature with a second interjoining attachment feature and at least one second wiring port disposed at the second interjoining feature;
- and
- at least one removably securable interjoining attachment feature for rigidly securing the first and second interjoining feature together for assembling the multipiece handlebar kit;
- wherein the multipiece handlebar kit is disconnected when the removably securable interjoining attachment feature is removed.
