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

I dont have the bike but in the pictures there are rear caliper mounts so the frame will allow for it but I cant see if the rear wheel has disc mounts. At the most a new wheel or hub might be needed for the rear.

Yes. I don't see that that would be and issue, ass long as your chain stays on both sides of the bike are even with one another. Meaning both come off the back at the same parallel angle as each other

Topeak also makes a rack that fastens in the pre-threaded holes on the bike frame near the rear wheel hub. Reply back if you have any questions and I'll get you a link to the other type of rack

Yes. I bought it for my grand daughter and it is a beautiful bike. She never rode it cause she wanted a Mongoose. I guess thats what all her friends had so now it sits in storage. You will love the bike. so very well made.Pegs are on front and back wheels.

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.

It should work fine. I don't have baskets but my bike is a big commuter bike with large bars & built in rear book rack. There is plenty of room.

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 it comes with a rear basket, however there is a cart you can get from the manufacturer

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 feel better about having a front basket. rear baskets can make you feel like you will fall over if anything back there shifts. I personally love the wald 157 bike basket, its huge. not for suspension bikes though

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.

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.

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

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!

You do need a support in the back of the bike, because it attaches itself to it. This basket only attaches itself to the back, its not a front basket at all. Its a great product though, I had it for a year now, and its still super sturdy. Hope it helps, cheers! =)

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.
