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.”)

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

  5. 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.

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