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

Without additional hardware, the add-on leg support which is meant to be attached at the front of the basket and then to the bike's front wheel axle, won't fit onto a quick-release frame. However, by hardware, I only mean, a few extra washers that extend the frame, which indents a little, out to meet the straight leg of the basket.

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!

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. but you can't lock both wheels along with the frame to the post, it's not that long. You have to choose a wheel.

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 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.

I haven't tried to install either yet, but it looks like a basket can be put on the handlebars.

No, the handles are curved and it would probably be cumbersome. The back basket is very big though.

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. :(

I would think so, the bottom part of this basket came with two long/flat attachments. But I already had something like this installed: Topeak Explorer Bike Rack

There are always was of attaching a basket, this comes with a lot of hardware options, usually it all just fits together, sometimes I needed to bend some of this hardware to make it fit and sometimes I needed to provide my own bolts to match the nut/treads already on the frame near the rear axle or near the seat post... I have installed this type of basket on more than 8 bikes...

No no no, the Cannondale Badboy frames all have the slot for you to bolt it on at the back of the left rear chainstay. Google it and you'll see the images.

Sure but the bike might be longer than the tire tray, check spec's. The carrier is built well, the basket is a little flimsy so I added supports under the basket which also helped eliminate the tilting / rocking back and forth. Very solid...

You can definitely make it work. The two "hooks" can be adjusted independently, so you can put one higher for the front and one lower for the back so the bike itself sits level.

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.

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.
