for bars

Because as accommodating as scooter retailers/manufactures *appear to be, they really just try and streamline they're buisness' as much as possible. Very few manufactures will communicate with the individual customer let alone allow a custom order.

Your better off finding a nearby machine shop that will do it for you - ends up being cheaper too.

Most people screw up cutting by going too fast- be patient and let the saw do the work. I keep an old Razor Clamp as a cutting guide or wrap tape around the bar so you have a visual guide to follow.

Start the cut and then once you get the cut going put a drop of oil in there so the blade slides easier.

Again- GO SLOWLY

A hacksaw only Cuts on the Forward stroke so lift a little when drawing back.

Use both hands BUT the forward hand is only used as a Guide- don't apply pressure.

ideally you want the bars in a Vise but if you don't have one make sure you have the Bars pressed up against something and hold them firm and just let the saw do the work. A Fresh blade will cut through bars quite easily.
