It is a very good basket, even though I returned it
I really liked the basket. I liked the way it was easy to install and the size of the basket, and how easy it is to remove it from its carrier. But I discovered that my bike’s geometry did not work well with this basket. The handlebar stem on my bike is too short and it made the basket. Stick out at a strange angle. That made it feel heavier than it was. I have some other bikes and it would have worked fine on them if they needed a basket, but they didn’t. I don’t know how you figure out if your bike has the right geometry but if your handlebar stem is fairly long and angles out over your front wheel, it will probably be great for your bike. If you have a short stem that does not angle out, it puts the basket at an odd angle and makes it have weighting issues. I was trying to put it on my ebike. You can see from the photos that the light is in the way, but that could be moved down to right above the tires. That was really not an issue. If you look at the picture with the blue arrows, you can see one arrow is straight-up-and-down. The other arrow is the angle of the basket, which is really quite tipped on my bike. On my husband’s bike the handlebars angle out in such a way that it would have been fine for his bike, but he doesn’t want a basket.

I canât get anybody to respond.

Great basket, but doesnât support full weight
I love this basket and use it almost every day. It is very easy to use and install, and it is a great size and shape. It fits well onto my bike, and the basket is super easy to take on and off of the mount. Itâs really handy when grabbing a few groceries or for carrying your lunch or a jacket.I saw some people saying they had issues with the basket falling off of the mount when going over large bumps. I also had this issue, but I was able to resolve it by placing bungee cords in an X across the top to both secure the handles to the basket and prevent items in the basket from bouncing out.I do have two issues with the basket. First, the basket broke in two paces after only two weeks of use when I went over a sudden bump in the road. The two parts that broke were both on the mount. One part is a piece of fabric with Velcro which secures the mount to the bike frame, and the seam on the fabric completely tore when I went over the bump; I was able to fix this easily using zip ties. The other part is a metal support bar on the mount which became disconnected at the join (this can be seen in the attached image). I have not yet figured out a way to fix this, so when I use the basket now I have to hold the basket with my left hand to make sure it doesnât wobble all over the place. After the mount broke I weighed the basket and itâs contents to see if it was over the advertised 15 pound weight limit, but all together everything weighed 13.5 pounds. I wouldnât recommend putting more than 10 pounds in the basket if you want to be on the safe side.My other issue with the basket is simply that when full, it blocks the lower beam of light from my headlight, making it harder for me to see at night, and the design of the basket doesnât let me attach my headlight to the front of the basket.

Works awesome for quick small grocery runs
This basket works awesome for quick grocery runs. The basket locks onto a holder that attaches to the bike handlebars. When you go shopping, you lift the basket out, put your groceries in, then when you’re done it’s easy to reattach to the holder. Feels secure. Installation was easy but I do wish they had included instructions with it. I went online and found them but I didn’t think it was obvious at first how the holder installed or the bike attached. Now that I know how to do it, it’s very simple. The other thing is the basket is fairly small. It’s enough if you need to buy a couple things at the store but not enough for a full grocery run IMO. Maybe depends on your packing skills.

Cute but hard to keep attached
Love the color. Can fit a good bit in the basket- 3 water bottles with a snack bag/sweatshirt.Have had this for 3 years and probably use it about it 3-4 times/year. When going over bumps, the basket pops up and drips down, causing me ti have to stop and fix it. Iâve tried using the brown Velcro to wrap it around the bike which helps sometimes. It has also scratched the post of my bike where it rests so I have to remember to put a paper towel or something to protect it from rubbing.Also had to use twisty ties to keep the side handles down. Would not buy this again.

Quick remove and holds a good amount
Works great and very easy to quickly remove by just lifting the handles. Large enough to hold two full gallons of milk

Itâs a basket.
Itâs a basket what do you expect. Fits perfect on a menâs 26 inch bicycle cruiser. Locks in place. With good quality

This basket is brilliant and looks great on my bike! It is very well made and sturdy. The âshopping basketâ is easily detached for easy usage for use in a store, it fixes back on the bike quickly and securely. Shipping and delivery was quick and efficient.

Es preciosa! El material es de excelente calidad y es muy útil poder desmontarla para usarla en el súper, etc. es muy linda. Me encanta, me encanta! Súper recomendada, además el colocarla sobre la bici es muy sencillo!

Muy útil y práctica. Agrega una red elástica y puedes cargar aún más. El mecanismo de seguro que funciona automáticamente al levantar o bajar las asas hace que colocar o retirar la canastilla sea rápido e intuitivo. Si te gustarÃa tener una canastilla en tu bici para ir a la tienda, pero no quieres colocar una fija en tu bici, está es un secreto opción excelente. Mi único coméntario negativo es que llegó mal ensamblada, con los seguros de las asas del lado opuesto de los orificios de enganche el soporte. A mà me tomó 30 segundos arreglar esa situación pero es algo que no deberÃa haber ocurrido.

Unfortunately my basket arrived with damaged mesh to its front left side. I was able to hammer it back into place but there is a big split line. It can be seen in one of the photos.Apart from the damage, itâs a really great little basket with what I think is a fantastic design. The frame is permanently attached to the handle bars and the basket can be attached and removed very easily. The basket sits on two bottom slots on the frame while the top is locked in place with the carry handles. Itâs really a very clever and secure design. So far so good. I like the padded handlebar hooks and the frame also keeps the basket from rubbing too much on cables or the bike itself.Iâd originally ordered the moss green but it was taking months and months to be processed so I cancelled that and went with this available grey one. The colour doesnât go as well with my bike but itâs functional.Warning: donât forget to hold the basket handles when removing the basket as it will flop over and empty all its contents onto the ground. Unfortunately this also damaged the bottom mesh the first time this happened. See photo.If there wasnât damage when I received the basket, I would have given five stars. The damage was obviously done before shipping as the packaging was very secure.
