I plan to add a rear rack to my newly built ebike. is having one and a front basket overkill?

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Doesn't sound overkill at all IMO, having both will make it much easier to carry more on the bike.

Only thing worth noting though, putting heavy things in the front basket could change the handling a little bit

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
