Benefits & Use Cases
- Transforms your bike into a practical daily-use vehicle — ideal for shopping, commuting, errands, or carrying small cargo like groceries, bags, or work gear.
- Lightweight design keeps front-end handling stable and prevents excessive steering heaviness even when loaded.

Considerations
- While suitable for groceries and light cargo, it’s not designed for very heavy loads — overloading beyond ~30 lb may affect steering, balance, and safety.
- Ensure proper mounting to prevent rattling or shifting during rides — check that the handlebars or front rack are compatible and securely fastened.
- Front-mounted cargo affects steering dynamics slightly — avoid high speeds or rough terrain when heavily loaded.
