[Elecraft] KX2 to a handlebar mount

I'm trying to find a "handlebar mount" to mount a KX2 on my Segway Ninebot S MAX. The "handlebar" on the S Max is not a straight bar, but a round donut type of handle. All of the Cell phone handlebar mounts will not work with the KX2. Any one with any ideas out there? Thanks, Mike n6zw
