Title: Radwagon: Has anyone used the rear rack bolt holes to add a rack/basket?
Post by: jbroehl on August 29, 2022, 10:49:49 AM
Thanks in advance if anyone has ideas: I take my two kids (5 and 3) to and from school most days with my Radwagon. They fill up all available space on the back so my only storage for kids' bags is the one front basket. I'm wondering if it's possible to use these two bolt holes on the rear of the rack. They're not threaded so I don't know what they were designed for (handling during mfg process?). But they look like they could support a small rack and/or basket combo with the right hardware. Picture a milk crate sized basket (or literally a milk crate) directly behind that kids seat. Curious if anyone has gotten further along with this possibility

Hi there! Interesting dilemma. My children are grown so I don't use the seats for babies on the back of my wagon. However, hubby made me a beautiful maple battery box that locks onto the rack, utilizing the oval holes to store my extra battery. It seems to me that you could make some kind of modification to fit back there.  How heavy are the bags?

I would live a pic of that beautiful box installed on the bike!

That box is awesome! Good hubby! Yeah, I think I have an idea now that will work and it's something simpler than your box, but similar as a section of plywood custom cut to fit around where the kid seat clamps. Hard to explain. I'll post if I accomplish it
