Easily falls off of the bike

When I was installing this basket, which is a nice-looking product, I noticed it was really easy to remove from the bike. At first, I thought that was a great feature--just raise the two basket handles, and it is easy to unhook from the base (to take into a store for shopping, for example). It's much easier to remove from the bike than our other bike baskets that are removable. However, the first time using the basket, it fell off of the bike when going over a bump in the road. So, I attached…

Pros
  • Fits nicely on my bike and is good quality
Cons
  • The powder coating may chip off easily

I love that I can snap it off and use it .

I love that I can snap it off and use it in the store to carry groceries - I received loads of compliments on it as it matches so well my classic Trek pink beach cruiser with the wide white-walled tires :)It is painted and metal so it is great in the rain and sturdy so it can carry a good-sized load, yet it comes off the supporting mechanism on the bile super easily with just a flip of the handles - really clever engineering.Bonus points: the color matches the color of my bike!It replaces a…

Not too shabby for my opinion

This basket works really well for what I want to do with it-go grocery shopping and run errands on my bike. It's very sturdy and well-made. I would have given it 5 stars, but the part that is supposed to hook on my handlebars is too thin for my handlebars (I have a Giant bike) and the little velcro part also doesn't fit around the stem on the handlebars (or whatever it's called). But the basket works fine anyway!

Pros
  • ‎Alloy Steel
Cons
  • The design of the basket may not match personal aesthetic preferences

Good size, super cute

The white basket looks really good on my light blue bike (priorities!). I did have one thing fall out while riding, but it was small and I should have put it at the bottom of the basket where the mesh is smaller (a very handy feature). I had no trouble lifting the basket off its holder--slightly more trouble positioning it right to put it back on, but I got the hang of it. And the handles aren't that comfortable to walk around holding, so I mostly left it on anyway. It's a good size for a front

Fits on my Razor e300s scooter

My wife rides a small electric scooter around the neighborhood to the nearby gym and yoga park. She needed a basket to hold her phone, water bottle and other small items in her fanny pack. The basket mount fits perfectly without interfering with her hand break or throttle. The basket snaps in tight, no rattling noise when she speeds over bumps. The basket is easy to remove and to carry around in the park. This basket has a weight limit of 11lbs since the mesh wire is thin, so only teacup size…

Pros
  • Love the basket. It's sturdy and looks great on my bike. Fast delivery too. Thank you
Cons
  • The handles may not be strong enough to hold heavy items

Velcro strap not strong enough

I really liked my basket, it matched my cruiser. BUT: it would bounce off if nothing was in it. I resolved this problem by putting an alligator paper clip over th handle so it couldn't raise up. The Velcro strip came undone right away and I sewed it back. But now the plastic on the plastic on the Velcro has broken and can't be repaired. It isn't really strong enough to hold up when basket is used for groceries and such, say 10 lbs. I wish it attached with a stronger strap. It is worthless now…

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • The basket may not be easy to install onto the bike

Love the lift-off feature

This basket is great on my daughter’s beach cruiser. I love how easily you can lift the handles and lift the basket off! Super functional and cute!

Pros
  • ‎Handlebar
Cons
  • The mesh bottom may accumulate debris over time

Well-designed, easy to use

This bike basket is the nifty-est thing I've seen in a while! Well-designed, super-easy to install/remove, cute and functional! A reviewer mentioned that if the handles manage to pop up while riding over bumps, the basket could come loose, so I made sure that wouldn't happen by using equally-nifty Quirky Bandits (think rubber bands w/hooks) that can be removed easily when I park the bike [see picture]. It actually takes me a little longer to remove the Bandits than to remove the basket itself…

Pros
  • ‎3 Pounds
Cons
  • The handles may interfere with the bike's brakes or gears

Perfect study high quality basket

Great bike basket, the highest quality one. This bike baskets doesn’t fade, split and it’s perfect and easy to use. Use it when you ride to a farmers market, unlatch it and take it with you for your items. Then reattach and bike right back home. Beautiful, very California feel.

Pros
  • The sleek black color matches well with all kinds of bike designs
Cons
  • The powder coating may be affected by prolonged exposure to sunlight

Delivered Damaged: my feedback

It's cute but when I pulled it out of the box I noticed that it has a dent on the bottom. Little bummed about it. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • The basket is a great way to carry items while keeping your hands free and your bike unencumbered
Cons
  • The powder coating may be prone to flaking over time

Extremely pleased. :-)

I've been looking for a good-looking, strong basket for my new bicycle and when my black Colorbasket arrived I wasn't disappointed. The bracket was easy to attach and I love that the basket can be removed for shopping, storing, whatever. Unfortunately, my bicycle was stolen last weekend along with the bracket. I contacted Colorbasket customer services to see if I could purchase another bracket and they quickly responded to let me know that a new bracket was being sent out to me! No mention of a

Pros
  • The mesh design prevents items from jostling around too much, keeping them secure and in place
Cons
  • The basket may interfere with certain bike accessories, such as fenders or lights

Perfect color for my bike

I love the color as it fits my new bike perfectly! I did have a issue with it not being totally secure so I ended up purchasing the bandits as someone previously suggested. I would definitely purchase another one if I had need.

Pros
  • Bike Baskets
Cons
  • The basket may not hold up in inclement weather

Basket pops off when going over bumps.

I like it because its easy to install, however the way it is designed, when i would go over a bump, either everything in the basket would bounce out or if the bump was big enough the whole basket popped off. I broke my phone because of this and now the basket doesn't sit right. Its a great idea and very convenient to be able to lift the basket on and off with ease, but sometimes too easy and comes off when you dont want it to :(

Pros
  • Powder coating resists scratches and wear, keeping the basket looking new for longer
Cons
  • The mesh bottom may not be strong enough to support heavier items

Awesome, easy to install basket.

Okay, if you're not mechanically inclined like me, and installing anything with screws makes your brain shutdown, this is the product for you. You literally just pop it onto your bike and you're good to go. Very little rattling, seems super sturdy, and I love the finer mesh. I don't have to worry about anything falling out. I haven't noticed any scratching either, I appreciate the rubber coating where it hangs on your bike.

Pros
  • ‎1.41 Kilograms
Cons
  • The basket may not be compatible with certain bike styles

Good basket - my new review

Easy to install. A bit larger than expected but will fit a lot. Took the advice of others and zip tied the handles down as my daughter will not be taking it on and off anyway.

Pros
  • DESIGN: The smooth, rounded edges of the basket are designed to provide a safe surface for all ages. Comes with powder coated finish and is scratch resistant. Durable mesh basket will stand up to everyday wear and tear.
Cons
  • The price may be too high for a basic bike basket

HEAVY! Also heavy duty

I love how this basket comes on and off of the mount for easy on-off. The attachment frame easily fit my cruiser style bike.One star is deducted because this thing is HEAVY. I mean very heavy. Empty and this thing makes me have to balance a little more than usual. I can only imagine what it will feel like once its full.

Pros
  • NO TOOLS REQUIRED: Easy to install on most bicycles, no tools required. Soft padded handlebar hooks and a velcro strap make installation and uninstallation a breeze! Attaches on handle bars and neck for secure fit!
Cons
  • The design of the basket may make it difficult to strap down certain items

I took a chance on this way cute white basket for my pink Cruiser bicycle, in spite of other reviews that said the handles would unlock on bumps to let the basket fly off AND that the Velcro strips that hold the mounting bracket would tear out. Do not ignore these reviews, people! The basket handles do NOT stay locked in place. My basket didn't come completely off, but I did zip tie the handles down (meaning that the basket is no longer removable) to make sure it didn't. AND, like reviews said,

Pros
  • Lightweight design doesn't add unnecessary weight to your bike
Cons
  • The handles may be too thin to provide a comfortable grip

Large basket - but functional

My 10 year old daughter wanted a basket for her bike. We really like the color of this basket and we like the fact that you can remove it and have the handles to carry items away from the bike (like a picnic) but I would caution buyers to pay attention to the dimensions and note that it is a little large for a child's bike. I still give it 4 stars though because it is durable and we like the handles!

Pros
  • The basket is the ideal accessory for those who love to combine style and practicality
Cons
  • The handles may be prone to breaking or warping under heavy use

Plastic Clip broke first time use

The basket is easy to install. It fits well on the bike I have. The basket is a great size and seems like it will last a while. Obviously going to have to keep dry as it is metal. As I was installing, however, the plastic clip that hold the velcro strap broke right away. I looped it through one of the loops instead and just placed it on this way. I haven't had to adjust the velcro strap since.

Pros
  • The mesh bottom design allows for drainage in case of rain, preventing items from getting waterlogged
Cons
  • The basket may be prone to bouncing or swaying while riding

very easy installation and lightweight

need clips to secure the handles, today it flew right off when i hit a bump and out flew my wallet. very easy installation and lightweight. overall i like it a lot, just better clip those handles down so it doesn't pop off while riding.

Pros
  • Love this! Perfect for my new bike!
Cons
  • The color options may be limited
