Yes tried that previously, the handlebars sit at a funny angle. The issue is the handlebars have no height adjustment so no fine tuning where they fall.

I think even if I could turn around the handlebar fold mechanism and clamp the handlebars on the opposite side the handlebars would face inwards instead of out and not be ideal. I think if they were vertical this wouldn't be an issue but they are not they face outwards slightly. I think on this bike the fold has been compromised by lack of height adjustment on the handlebars it's as simple as that. Still a great quality bike and light.
