I weigh about 150Lbs, and i want to carry about 30lbs in the basket. Will I be ok? I am terrified it will be too front heavy

I weigh 140 and carry my 20 lb dog in it. It does take a little concentration, and no sudden stops or turns,but I do it.

I have the smaller Wald basket, and sometimes it is heavy on the steering so parking the bike needs extra care in balancing when using the kickstand; an empty rack is best while parked.

Yes, I weigh 275 lbs and I have rode the bike for months with no problems. I have actually added a basket on the back with an extra 80 lbs of weight [not recommended by Huffy] and didn't have any problems.

I bought this for my son and the one thing I noticed is that it seemed like the baskets are not as strong as the one that I have had for years that holds a good 12-15 lbs. I put potatoes in the bottom and onions in the middle and fruit in the top. Concerning the new one I would say it would be safe at about 8lbs

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

Normally you wouldn't want to carry more then 30% of your body weight...hopefully if you're in good shape...Right now mine (not fully packed) stands at 20% of my body weight...Still plenty of room to go!

I think it shouldn't be a problem.... I weight 329lbs. and it hold me fine..so i don't think it would be a problem..

The basket can handle 50lbs and can handle more depending how the weight is distributed and how the basket lays upon your rack. But you might be more limited by your rack. The rack on top of which I mounted this basket on my grocery-getter bike is rated for 25lbs.

The basket is very sturdy. You could use it for grocery shopping. I would not use it for extremely heavy loads

Hi, the price was important to me however this was purchased for my husband who weighs 260 and has balance issues. I also needed to make this purchase quickly. I just thought it would be more stable for him. The basket is important as you can't hold anything in your hands. We are very happy with this purchase. Good luck.

Definitely. I've carried four twelve-packs of soda (the long ones) before. The issue will be how strong your carrier rack is -- the vertical struts might bend. But the baskets themselves are very, very strong.

not sure what you mean by heavy... if you mean is it heavy to carry around as compared to a wire one, i would say no... and if you are asking if is is heavier duty than the wire ones I would say definitely yes.. i love this basket!!! and LOVE not having to bend over to get the balls ever again!!

Yes. The basket broke on ours right away but there was no problem returning it. It was replaced by one that is still working great. The company rep was great and replacement was fast. All else has worked fine on it and seems to be holding up quite well for a 6 foot 165 pound woman.

Yes it will definitely hold 30lbs! It really is a sturdy table and easy to carry!

I believe the weight limit might be somewhere around 200 lbs. I weigh 150 and have been known to place about 50+ pounds of groceries in the basket in back. I have also hauled a very heavy trombone and case and heavy boxes of books in the basket so I think the 200 to 225 pounds is a good estimate. Heavier items make it a little harder to pedal, however I have arthritis in my feet and hands and have 20 inch wheels because I am only 5'2" and no speeds on my bike.

Hi. I don't know what the manufacturer's specs are, but I can tell you that I load a lot of weight in my baskets. I don't have a car, so I do all my grocery shopping using my bike. My runs to Costco are heavy. Sometimes I carry so much weight in these baskets that I have to remember to keep both hands on the handle bars to keep my body leaning slightly forward so that the front wheel doesn't rise off the ground when I go over a bump. I've never had a problem with my baskets, nor have I had any loose fasteners. (You have to get locking nuts.) If I had to take a guess, I'd say I've carried at least 25 pounds in each side, but that's being on the conservative side. I hope this helps! -- Vernon

I do not know the answer. We have 2 of these items and they are very sturdy. I am afraid that a basket would upset the balance of the walker. There are cloth attachments that fit well and carry a few items.
