The oddity in these bikes, including the one I speak of is that it seems the seat post is way more adjustable than the handle bar stem.
This is standard, because most bikes are apparently designed for teenagers and roadies, who have the flexibility to bend a little more. If you want an upright position, get a longer stem and/or higher handlebars. It's an easy fix and works very well.
