What kind of bike rack would be good? The description states "Mounts on top of most rear bicycle racks". Any suggestions for a rack?

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.

A universal bike rack would be adequate. The inserts on the bottom that mount the basket to the bike rack can be adjusted. As an example, my basket is mounted onto a rack that looks like this product on Amazon: Ventura Universal Bicycle Carrier Rack.

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.

Does not need to be mounted. My kids and I ride a lot andmy husbands bike stays on the far right rack without a problem. Can easily fit 4 adult bikes... Have it get creative with a 5 th... ( I am 5' 2" though so my adult bike is not huge!)

Hmm. Well the rack sits as high as the hitch. I would measure the exact height and then Think of it from a standpoint of how much muscle you want to put into getting the bike up there. You could always make a longer ramp then the one that comes with it to make it easier rolling up on the back...

Definitely not, it isn't sturdy enough to stay on your bike rack thingy. Too bad because all of the baskets that will are ugly! Good luck! :)

we are very satisfied with this rack. it has been very strong and reliable. I think it would work just fine on a bike with disc brakes. the bike frame you own should have built in mounting brackets that the rack will fit on.

I was able to mount mine and my daughter's without a problem. I love this bike rack. Best thing we have bought in a long time.

Try this one ------- Topeak Explorer 29Er Tubular Rack with Disc Mount (Black, 16.5x6.7x16.3-Inch)

You would have to make a bracket or use maybe a u bolt with some rubber padding. I like most just mounted it under the handle bars in the frame. Bolted and zip tied. Rides well

sorry, it does not fold flat and it will not work on top of a bike rack. it mounts on the side and hangs down. as I said before, the bottom folds up, and the sides cave in to be flat, but standing up flat. if you want to mount something on top of your rear bike rack, just buy a box or crate from home depot, and install with tie downs.

You'd have to have frames attached to either the front or rear to hang the pannier bags from; I've done this on other bikes I've owned. The rack the back battery is on would not be useful (or probably safe) for hanging bags, but if you get the hardware attached properly for hanging bags they should be fine to use.

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!

I have three of these racks, all of them supporting heavy "beach cuisers" in vertical positions. I would suggest mounting the rack at a height that allows the bike to rest on the rear tire, thereby taking some of the weight off the rack. This has kept a lot of stress off the rack(wall) as well as the front wheel. I've not had any visible damage to any of my front wheels.

It depends on how high your seatpost is--the bike attaches to seatpost, so if you are tall, you might be able to keep the rack on (depending on how long it is). THere is about 8.5" of clearance on mine between my tire and the post for the wee rider. I could see a rack being there, although it would really be usable.

Sometimes when installing a bike on a rack you need to think outside the box. I've been successful putting on four bikes of different sizes from three mtn bikes to two mtn bikes with two kids bikes (one I had to strap down the top tube and the front tire). You may need to purchase the cross bar adapter that hooks to the top tube and saddle post to mount a female bike (which also works for atypical dual suspension bikes).

I have axiom panniers and they hook on just fine. You won't find a better rack if you don't have the eyelets on your frame. Great choice for newer road bikes.

you might find a rack 1st, that you like,and then ask the manufacturer of the rack if it will install on this particular bike.other than that, it may be hit or miss,installing your/a rack onto this bikemarc

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.
