he
said that when he uses them, he loses concentration on his body balance too
easily and he can't compensate fast enough with the handle bars.

I have made exactly the same experience. Last week I mounted handlebars to PX.5 just for the fun of it. But I cannot use them. As soon as I touch them, my riding gets out of control. But like everything, this is a matter of experience and when Dirk reports about how helpful his handlebars are I believe him.

Also the python handlebars have to be very strong to counter the
self centering force. With mine I hardly could turn the front part
while standing and with feets off the pedals. As the handlebars
additionally increase the air drag they won´t be an option for me.

Cheers,
Jürgen.

PS:
At the beginning of this week I made a 3 days tour with P3 into
the hilly area north of my hometown. I carried 15 kg of baggage
and was positively surprised about the handling, especially
uphill.
