Hi. I’m looking to make my commuter a bit more upright (getting older) and want to change my handlebar to help with that. I think the typical beach cruiser handlebars (Electra) are too wide. Could a typical road-bike “bullhorn” handlebar be used backwards so the ends are closer to me rather than further?

I switched from a straight bar to the Jones H-bar on my commuter and really like it. Gives you a variety of hand positions.
