The structure combines "ape" (a primate known for hanging from branches) with "hanger," forming a compound noun used almost exclusively in the plural form "apehangers." It is used to describe a motorcycle handlebar positioned higher than the rider's shoulders, often forcing the rider to reach up as if hanging from bars. People typically say "He's got apehangers on his chopper" when referring to this style, which is associated with custom bikes, choppers, and cruiser culture.
