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

Not a good idea. you cannot sit on back rack so no where for 2nd person to sit.but we are pleased with the bike so far with one rider at a time.

Is not stable it moves a lot from side to side touching the wheels of the bike,and is not what you think it is, when I purchase that basket I did not find many options: Ibera Bicycle Seatpost-mounted Commuter Carrier IB-RA1, this could be a good option and is much easier to install in the bike, you can add a basket on this option

No. You can not use any type of bike basket that has arms which go down to the wheel on any type of suspension bike

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)

No, it doesn't need a rear rack at all. It actually provides its own rear rack, behind the seat. But the seat itself is kept above the wheel by the rods below it and by the attachment to the main seat stem. I had a lot of trouble getting the bike mounted on my bike, though...Some bikes work better for it than others.

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.

not without considerable time.... the basket has two bolts connected to the front wheel on each side and in two places on the handlebar.... its a pretty sollid piece that you just cant pull or rip off without tools n time ( n I live in bike theft captial of Miami... so...i recommend it)

no it comes with a rear basket, however there is a cart you can get from the manufacturer

I think that you can't place any carrier above the rear wheel. There is basket holder above front wheel. But you have to buy basket extra, isn't part of the bike.

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.

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.

Nope. It's an aftermarket item. For a while they were sold through Sun, but now you have to do an internet search for baskets. Amazon had them listed, but when I started to order one, they were sold out. I can't remember the website where I actually got to order one, so be diligent. My son's bike and mine both have a basket (We have Easy 3s), and they are much more convenient than panniers.

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...

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.
