The front rack came with no instructions, but it seemed simple enough to figure out. A quick Google Search suggested a YouTube video titled “How to install Ride1Up Basket + Platform.” The first minute showed what I needed to know.
The only trouble I had was extending the wiring for the headlamp. The video shows extra wire wrapped up in the front wiring harness – just enough to allow the light’s new placement at the front of the rack. That was not the case for my 700XR. I ended up splicing in a foot of wire so my headlight could reach the front of the rack. I used solder and heat-shrink for the extension.
The installed front rack provides a platform measuring roughly 12 inches by 5 inches. With racks over both wheels now, my bike looks balanced. In addition, I can better distribute the weight of my gear on my next long ride. I have tried a few items. The rack can hold a sleeping bag, tent, or cooler – the possibilities are exciting.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the front rack. My 700 looks better and is more functional with the front rack than without it. What do I like best? I like how the front rack moves the headlight forward. The new light placement eliminates the long shadow cast by my front tire. This was an unexpected improvement. At night, all I see now is the road. (Maybe R1U could call it the “Headlight Extension Kit + Platform.”)

It went together great and looks nice on the front. I haven’t carried anyting on it yet, It seems very sturdy though…

So glad installation went smoothly. The front rack is necessary to install the basket.

Bought the 500 for my wife last March. I ride it more often and love it. Either the speedometer is wrong but this bike gets up to 34 mph throttle only. I recommend these bikes to everyone. A friend of mine bought 2 bikes for Christmas. He loves them.

It’s ok. Fork mounted front racks are inferior to frame mounted front rack.
