Are you able to attach a basket to the front of the bicycle? Or can it only be mounted to the back?

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.

The front of the bike would most likely be more sturdy than the back attachment to the fender which constantly needs to be adjusted. I advise against buying this bicycle if you intend on carrying anything on it. It is more or less for riding around a suburban neighborhood. It is not a street/commuter bike which they market it as.

Not something the bike was intended for. My son fell and tossed it around for a few days before he got the hang of it, then he went no where without it. A basket, could be attached with a little creativity, but anything larger than a small bag would have simply gotten in the way.

I wish I could, but when I got my bike it was missing the basket! I was very upset and disappointed. Amazon refunded about 1/3 of my payment to make up for it. :(

The basket attaches to the front bar with adjustable straps. It seems like it would work.

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

Yes, it comes with all the mounting hardware you will need. It mounts to the eyelets on the frame and to the rear axle. You can have the option of clipping it to the seat post if your bike does not have eyelets toward the back of the frame (the parts for this are also included). If your bike has a quick release rear wheel, you will still be able to remove the wheel quickly without removing the basket.

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.

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.

The basket itself does not allow you to carry it without the frame so I would think not for that purpose.

If you don't have any mounting holes then you are out of luck to mount any rear rack on your bike properly. What about the front?

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.

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 have a flat rear bike rack that attaches to rear of seat and rear tire hub that i attach the basket to it with the plastic screw knobs. To make more secure, i run a bungey cord back and forth a couple times under the basket, hooking it to the bike rack. marion

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 dont think so, but i havent tried either. however the connectors are designed for the back of the frame. i have it mounted on the back of my bike and it works great for pannier bags

You should be able to as long as it has the horizontal bar that goes along the back end of the bike to the back wheel. It attaches anywhere along that bar.

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance
