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.

Yes, I would store those two front wheels in the large back compartment while biking. When you get to the store, detach it from the bike and pop on the two front wheels and off you go!

Unless you have back problems as I do you would probably enjoy this bike with the seat as it is. It just so happens the design strikes me right in the lower lumbar area in the very spot where rods were inserted a few years ago. My answer for the problem was to simply put a small pillow at a higher point on the back so it prevents contact with the seat back. Works fine. I might add; over the years I have used recumbent bikes (and other equipment) in gyms and find this one well worth the cost I paid. I expect many years of use.

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!!!

This basket is a basket with hooks. You can bend it so it can fit on your handlebar. Please note this is a small basket usually for kids bikes. thanks

I don't see why another basket would be problem as long as it's not too big. My niece has this bike. She has a bell and horn on the front handlebars. On the back basket, she has a flag on a 4ft pole. Use common sense on the size of the basket and what you will be putting in it.

Yes it does. It seems like it would work pretty well as a basket. It quickly comes off the bike and there are two bars that lay along the basket top edge. These two bars raise up and will work nice as a handle for a basket.

Judging from the online photos of said bicycle(you claimed to own) I notice your model bike hereby lacks the rear mounting bolts of my bicycle-which is how my Planet Bike Eco rear rack is connected.You might want to ask an expert bikeperson if such a part is compatible with your bicycle in spite of said absentee feature!Aso,when I looked for a rear bike rack I sought out the highest maximum weight compacity possible and compatible/durable baskets to outfit it with!I hope this information was helpful!

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.

I've got a front basket and it works fine. Haven't used for one on the back. The back is a more narrow than the front; so it may be a little snug depending on the size of the basket. Could work okay, just not sure. Sorry!

I think two things help: long wheelbase (so the center of gravity is not behind the rear wheel) and a heavy bike. I'm using a light roadbike which is a bit too small and light for this basket.

I purchased the Topeak rack, which technically has all of its own accessories, but you don't need to purchase them. I figure I can upgrade later if I want. I like the rack because it is very sturdy. This basket really does fit any rack, but I love how large it is. Because it is so large, purchase a bigger bungee net. I purchased the suggested one & it's VERY tight. I also like this basket because, as a plus sized rider, I have a little hang over with my rear & the basket does not get in the way. Hope that helps. Anyway, go with the Topeak.

I sent it back due to design flaws. It wasn't safe. The two rear wheels needed to be set back more. As it was the front wheel came off the ground when you tried to walk with it and there was no support. I think I remember that the basket has to come off and the axle bends forward and the two sides come together.

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.

No basket included but the two we bought both have a carrier over the rear wheel the you could attach something to. Probably some kind of box that you could strap to the carrier would do the trick.

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.
