Abstract

A folding handlebar mechanism includes a steering tube, a stem assembly mounted on the steering tube, two handlebars rotatably and slidably mounted into two distal ends of the stem assembly, a repressed member abutted against the stem assembly, and a positioning assembly. The positioning assembly is operable between a tighten mode and a loose mode to cause the two handlebars to be selectively rotatable and slidable with respect to the two opposite ends of the stem assembly.
