Reverse E Trike Basket: Easy to Install Basket for This Tadpole Electric Tricycle

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin, CEO of sixthreezero and today I'm going to show you the basket available for the Two-Front-Wheel Reverse E-trike from sixthreezero. Now it is a bolt-on basket that attaches with four bolts in the frontier and I'll show you that in more detail in a second. And it's an Allen key to tighten that on and it's very stable and you can bring up to 20 pounds of stuff in the frontier. So here's the basket. You can see the four bolts right here that bolt on the front basket. The connection points are welded into the head tube there. So it's very stable when you get it bolted on. Now, I'd recommend no more than 15 pounds. I just said 20, but 15 is best because you don't have an underneath support down here to hold that. So a lot of people think about bringing their dogs and whatnot. If you do want to do that, keep it under 15 pounds. Also, if you notice, it's mounted to the head tube. So when you turn the wheels, the basket is not going to move. That may be an optical illusion for some people because when you turn here, a lot of people like to see the basket go with the handlebars. In this case, it's going to stay still. Now, the basket itself weighs 2.5 pounds. And if you were to transport this and fold it, if you had to, you could very easily take the basket off and I'll show you here in a second, actually how to do that now for the measurements of the basket, it is 12 inches wide and 15 and a quarter inches front to back. The depth is about nine and three-quarters inches. So it's a fairly good size. Do you want to come take a look and just look down in there?

You could fit probably a six-pack of soda, probably two stacked on top of each other. You could put a towel in there, you could put your lock in there, whatever you need to bring with you. So it's a great add-on to the two front wheels. Now let me grab the Allen key and I'll show you exactly how to install and remove it. OK, so I have a five-millimeter Allen key here and you just come in here with the Allen key. And we just loosen these. And I can just do the full install and removal here. If you don't have a set of Allen keys like this, I got these on Amazon. I think it was less than $10 for a whole set of metrics and standards. Now everything on this bike will be in the metric box. System, so that's important to note. Okay, use the tool a little bit quicker. If you do have a ratcheting Allen key set, that's going to be an even better option. All right, now, from there, you see this was a sample basket so the holes on the production will be much cleaner. But you have four holes and then on your fork to your head tube here, you have your four attachment points. Now let me get all my bolts back here that I let fall on the ground. All righty, so from there, very simply and easily put this back on. Now when you're installing it, you want to keep all the bolts and get all of them in, but you don't want to tighten down any one of them. So I'm just going to put that one in there nice and loose.

Put the next one in nice and loose. Okay. This is going to allow you to make sure you find the holes appropriately. There we go. Make sure I get it in there nice and straight. There we go, perfect. Okay. And then once you have them all four threaded, that's when you can come back and I'm just gonna tighten this one. That's when you can come back and tighten them all down. There we go. And I'll go ahead and tighten those down. OK, now he's got them all tightened down. It's back in there nice and secure and your baskets ready to take with you. So it's a great add-on to the two front wheels. If you want to accessorize and bring things with you on your ride, think about getting that.
