Handlebars

The "new" CC100X is pretty much the old 2nd generation Baja Doodle Bug resurrected. I think most people who've had a 2nd gen DB have hated the bars and the geniuses at Coleman didn't bother to change them. I have to wonder if someone at a warehouse in China contacted Coleman to see if they would want to buy a bunch of DBs that were leftover when Baja went out of business however many years ago.

You have options.
FREE! You can bend the existing bars forward to make the riding position more comfortable.

As @DaddyJohn mentioned, you can cut the bars off (plug the tubes to keep water, dirt, etc. out), drill the upper triple clamp (plate) to mount 7/8" risers and use the 7/8" handlebar of your choice. The following links are for example only, you may find better deals with some searching. I wanted something on the wild side to use with MM suspension forks so I bought the linked Z-bars on eBay.

You said you don't want to replace the fork but I'm linking a thread on suspension forks anyway because it's a popular mod/upgrade. There are photos of various bikes with the MM fork swap, including a 2nd gen DB. Unfortunately, the $80 deal went away when MM went out of business but the forks are still available from other retailers at a higher price.

I thought is was odd that Coleman brought out this new/old model when they already had the CT100U which I like much better; I have two CT100Us, got the first one from Walmart for $299 with free shipping in early 2017, paid a bit more for the second one from Amazon when the CT100U was hard to find a few months ago.
