Review on Lixada Bike Basket - Waterproof Small Pet Cat Dog Carrier for Bicycle Handlebars - Front Basket with Quick Release, Easy Install, Detachable Folding Design - Ideal for Picnic, Shopping, and More! by Adam Nelson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Installation is difficult, instructions are weak.

The basket itself is too small - pay attention to the dimensions. I doubt my 20kg cat will be comfortable in it. If you need a good little stretcher this might come in handy. Instructions on a sheet Chinese on one side English on the other side. The pictures don't really explain an important feature of the montage, and the translation from Chinese to English is poor. The key component to installation is the wire that keeps the basket from rotating. The plastic mounts around the handlebars do not prevent the basket from falling onto the bike's front wheel unless the wire holding the mount is taut and properly positioned around the stem. The bolts go through the strut into nuts that go through the plastic and if you over tighten they will go all the way through the plastic and the strut will fall off. I was about to go back until I tried again and tightened the wire holding the strut in place and positioned it slightly up so that when loaded the basket was horizontal and not touching the wheel.

Pros
  • MULTIPLE POCKETS AND NIGHT RIDING SAFELY: Front pocket with flap for phone, keys, pet food etc. Side pockets for kettle and reflective strips for better visibility and safety at night.
Cons
  • Defects present
