Basil Cento Flower Rear Bicycle Basket – Steel, Rear Mount, 450×210×310 mm

The Basil Cento Flower Rear Bicycle Basket is a steel rear-mounted carrier designed to attach to a bike luggage rack. With external dimensions of approximately 450 × 210 × 310 mm, the basket offers space for groceries, bags, school supplies and small cargo on city bikes and e-bikes. The steel construction and reinforced frame aim to keep the basket shape stable during everyday commuting and shopping trips.

Advantages

The steel build provides durability and resistance to deformation while carrying typical daily loads. Its rear-mount design keeps weight over the luggage carrier for balanced handling compared with front-mounted alternatives. The basket’s size and shape accommodate a range of items such as bags, satchels and shopping, and the reinforced frame improves long-term shape retention and resistance to knocks.

Suitable for

• Commuters transporting groceries or small shopping bags
• Students carrying books, satchels or backpacks on school routes
• City bike and e-bike owners who need extra cargo capacity
• Everyday errands where a rear-mounted basket is preferred over panniers

When it may not be suitable

This basket is designed to mount to a rear luggage rack and therefore is not suitable for bikes without a compatible rear rack. It is intended for small cargo and daily items; very heavy or oversized loads may exceed the practical limits of the basket or the bike’s rack and are not recommended.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Mounting type: rear luggage rack mount (requires compatible rack)
• External dimensions (approx.): 450 × 210 × 310 mm (width × depth × height)
• Typical use: groceries, bags, school supplies, small cargo
• Finish: classic black (as offered)

How to use

Attach the Basil Cento Flower basket to a compatible rear luggage rack using the supplied mounting hardware. Place the basket lengthways on the rack so its base sits securely and tighten the fixing points according to the mounting instructions provided with the product. Load items evenly and avoid concentrating very heavy weight at one side. For transport, place heavier items lower in the basket and secure loose items to prevent shifting while riding.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your bicycle has a compatible rear luggage rack for mounting the basket
• Assess typical cargo weight and size to ensure suitability for groceries, bags or school items
• Consider whether you prefer rear-mounted storage versus front baskets or panniers for handling and accessibility

Usage recommendations

For stable handling, distribute weight evenly across the basket and avoid exceeding the load rating of your bike’s rear rack. Regularly check mounting hardware and frame for secure attachment and signs of wear, and dry the basket after prolonged exposure to wet conditions to minimise surface corrosion over time.
