Storage options under RadRunner/RadRunner Plus rear seat?
« on: January 24, 2021, 01:32:42 PM »
Has anyone found a good fabric zipper storage or some sort of storage to utilize all of the space under the rear seat on the RadRunner or RadRunner Plus?  I found this linkhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3968884  in which he has 3D printed his own drawer which looks interesting but I think it could rattle and I would rather look for other options.  I am just looking for something that could attach to the frame under the seat and maybe have a side zipper in which we could keep small supplies for the trip.  Thanks!

I am working on a design to mount a 4x4 plastic tube there.  I will make it waterproof (edit) water resistant with locking latches.

I will share the design once I get it all together and tested.

Ok, have attached pictures of what I have done, not that I am finished yet, but concept is working well.

On the under basket storage unit, I have glued shut one side, the other I will be installing two latches on two sides to latch and hold the cover on.  These latches have eye loops so I can put a lock on, should I want to.

The front square tube has a small hole drilled in the bottom for drainage.  I have a lid/cover for it as well, but no latches are planned for this one.  I plan to use it for drinks or whatever.

Now, on my wife's bike, she wants me to paint her storage tubes black....  not sure if I will or not....  I prefer function over what it looks like.

Very innovative [mention]Zbugsii [/mention] ... are those vinyl fence parts?

I had recently seen that someone zip tied this utility pack under the rear seat to store their ABUS Bordo Granit xplus 6500 lock, but, you know, the utility pack could be used for anything! https://amzn.to/3f5AWpw

Cheap and cheerful. 2 nets from decathlon
Under: small net. Ideal for tool kit, shopping bag, legging and it can also store the large net.
Over: large net, what ever tickles your fancy. Helmets, football, boxes, a tray of coffees 2 go.

Both nets are suspended between the seat post and the rear lift bracket. Dismount the rear light and remount after fitting the nets.

Hi Everyone, I thought I would share what I ended up purchasing.  The Roswheel (Sahoo) Essential Series Convertible Bike Trunk Bag/Pannier (https://amzn.to/3jlGY7p) works great under the back seat.  Even though its upside down it works great with some velcro to easily pull it out and put items inside.  On the back seat the Lixada (Sahoo) Insulated Trunk Cooler Bag for Warm or Cold Items, Bicycle Rear Rack Storage Luggage, Reflective Cycling MTB Bike Pannier Bag, 8L (https://amzn.to/3dit1n0) works great as well with some velcro.

Has anyone tried this Panniers Set from Amazon?  You'd probably need to cut holes for the bolts, but other than that, it looks like it should mount easily enough.

I'd probably go with the black  but linked the gray as it is easier to see the details of the bag.

Thanks [mention]LateNighter [/mention] … I ended up ordering the under-seat bag. Looks like exactly what I need. I have the wood side panels, so I’ll try to remember to report back about figment with those installed.

Hey LateNighter, this under rack bag looks like it might be what I’m looking for. Did you get the 8L or the 7L version?
