A stem riser is one of the simplest, best value upgrades you can make on your e-moto to improve the ergos. But the stem riser does more than just good ergonomics, it strengthens your handlebars, which eliminates the twist you can get with the stock handlebar mount.
GritShift’s own brand, Heavy Hitter, is known for its robust, strong, well-designed parts, but these have gotten even better! How?! You can now choose from a range of colors, giving you the ultimate in customization for your electric dirt bike.
But, what exactly is a stem riser? Do you really need to get one for your e-moto? How does it work? And the hardest question of all… what color do you go for?
What is a stem riser?
In basic terms, a stem riser is part of your e-moto that attaches the handlebars to the steering tube and forks. Most stock e-motos have a single mounting point, which can lead to an undesired twist on your handlebars. Using a stem riser creates multiple attachment points, giving the handlebars its strength.
As we all know, electric dirt bikes are smaller than your average dirt bikes, which makes them really maneuverable and fun, but there’s no need to feel cramped when riding them.
A stem riser helps create the perfect ergonomics when riding, which translates into better riding.

Once you’ve set up your e-moto perfectly, it just feels right. You feel at ‘one’ with your bike. It’s hard to explain, you jump on and everything simply feels good. The stem riser is part of the full ergonomics.
When your hands are in the right place, your shoulders feel relaxed, controls are easy to get to, and your hands are in the right position. For the full rundown on ergos, check out this article. This is the point where you can ride faster, find better track lines, rail the corners, and put together a good session.
But, it gets even better…

Can my e-moto get one of these?
Is your e-moto a:
- Surron LBX
- Segway X260, X160
- Talaria Sting MX3, MX4, MX5, XXX
- E Ride Pro S, SS, 2.0, 3.0, SR
If so, then the stem riser will fit on your e-moto. You will also need to work out what size handlebars you have, or the size you want to run on your bike. There are 2 options: a 2” riser for 31.8mm bars, or a direct mount 1.75” riser for a fat bar (1 ⅛”) handlebar.
You’ll need to make sure you get the stem riser that fits the type of handlebars you have.

Do I need one of these?
Anyone who rides an e-moto can benefit from a stem riser. Yes, these electric dirt bikes are smaller than your average gas dirt bike, but you can still make them comfortable. Even if you’re commuting daily and not keen on jumping the dirt, the stem riser makes the ergos feel more natural.
If you are at the track and riding hard, then yes, definitely! The stem riser doesn’t just make the ergos better, it stiffens up the handlebar so you won’t get any unwanted twist on any impacts.
