I was thinking about getting this bike, but I need it to be able to have one of those dual baskets in the back, can this bike have that?

Unfortunately the bike is not made with permanent "braze-ons" for a rear rack which i assume is what you are referring to. I have a rack on mine with panniers and had to buy the following parts from Amazon and it works like a champ. Its so sturdy that my 5 year old sits on it on a ride down the street.

I didn't try to add those baskets in the back, I'm not sure if this is possible since I'm not a pro in customizing bikes. Sorry my friend

well if you have a rack in the back it might be possiblebut from what I've seen it looks like you might have to get a little creative. I did see a sport bike one time with It on.

No. It comes with pieces that help you secure the right fit for the bicycle frame but none are appropriate for a basket.

I believe the basket can be removed. But some disassembly near where handlebars attach would be necessary to remove a bracket if the existing bracket can't be repurposed for the bigger basket you have in mind. That said, the current bracket was preinstalled on the bike in the box, so I've never actually removed it.

I have had this basket for several years and haven't found a rear rack (my own bike, borrows, or rentals) that it won't fit on. Also the handles are semi pliable, so I assume if you did find one that is oddly shaped, you could make the necessary adjustment.

Not that I can see, but if you have a creative mind I'm sure you can come up with something. I attached a carry rack to the back of mine. It is the type that just attaches to the seat post (Clean and simple) and serves a dual purpose, as it protects my back from getting wet if I go through puddles. Half the fun of riding this monster is getting a little dirty. LOL

Bonnie, I got the stainless steel rack offered on Amazon actually. My brother-in-law builds bikes and he is going to put both the rack and the basket on for my sister this weekend. I'll be glad to ask him and email you back Monday or Tuesday. Dino not sure you can see all the answers since you tried to help Bonnie, thanks for the tip below. Since I don't know if the rack I purchased is singular or double tubing... I guess I'll find out this weekend if it works well. Denise in Land O Lakes, FL (I can be reached at czgringo@aol.com)

I attached this to the back of my bike but found it to big, making it hard to get on and off the bike. I would suggest to pick a smaller basket for the back.

Don't know of anyone that owns said bike.However given the bikes small size I wouldn't recommending placing such a basket on it.

You can add a basket to either front or back. You will have to mount the front light on the fender to use a smaller basket though.

Yes...they separate to accommodate the 2 back wheels...but...you will need to be creative with the front one

Hey,I recently bought one for a project bike im building for my girlfriend and was impressed. I agree that the baskets are kinda pricy but then again you get what you pay for. Baskets are squared off and balanced, not lopsided. It also has a piece of stained wood on the inside for more support. Straps are fine for me, you dont want the basket sagging too low but level with handle bars and it works fine for me. Hope this helped.

I have this exact one and I don't think a standard bike rack would work! I just put it in the back of my pick up. Great bike!!!

Any flat, rear bike rack will do. The basket comes with a long bracket so you can affix it. It has a nice, secure fit.

no idea about the rack, but on my rack no additional assembly/hardware was required. You just pull out the 2 handles on either side of the bottom of the basket (one is visible in the photo), position the basket, and release the handles to clamp it on to the rack. In the photo shown the carry handle would be right behind the seat of the bike.

Hi Barbara - the bike does come with a basket holder for the back (standard amongst bikes), but does not come with a basket per say. I utilize the basket holder and connect a milk carton with some bungee cords and this works out great for when I want fold up the bike. Otherwise with the milk carton still attached, the folding process might not work out as easily as you would like. Hope this helps! Mike

Yes, that is true. The bike has a rear rack mounted to it already which is for the battery. Panniers are not an option on this bike. I recommend to my customers who wish to carry items while riding to procure some type of basket that easily hooks onto the handlebar or use a backpack.
