Retrospec Apollo Detachable Front Bike Basket Steel Half-Mesh with Integrated Detachable Hooks and Built-In Handle, Easy Assembly and Portability for Bicycles

I like the material and color but unfortunately it didn’t fit my bike. So I have to return it. I have mountain bike but I want a small basket for my bike. This basket will use your bike to hold so if your bike doesn’t strong enough or support its weight, the basket probably falls off and not stand still for you to use. I would recommend looking for basket that you can connect the basket that have their own stands maybe connect with the wheels or bike body not jut mount to your bike.

Excellent product, well made. One issue I encountered the second day I had it on my bike. Hit a bump coming off a bridge and the basket jumped off the bike and was on the ground in front of me. That's the bad news. The good news is the basket wasn't even scratched and the contents were undamaged. The problem is the handles jumped up and the basket unhooked and went flying. The problem is easily fixed with a couple of twist ties...solved. I now keep a bungee cord stretched across the top which also helps keep anything from jumping up. All that the manufacturer needs to do is fashion some sort of clip on both sides to secure the handles. I considered 4 stars due to the flaw but it's so minor and easily avoided that I still give it 5 stars.

Impressed with how well designed the basket and mount is. Good construction that’s easily installed on my Specialized Haul ST. Very easy to remove the basket then latch it back on. Highly recommend.

Product is cute and functional. Gets rusty in ocean town. Had to have Velcro piece replaced from wear and tear. Removes easily for carrying.

This was easy to install and the perfect size for me and my bicycle. It's beautiful and sturdy. I love you he handles, and it's easy to attach and detach for shopping and gathering.

Got it in May, only used it maybe a dozen times and one of the pieces that keep it in place snapped.

I love it,2nd one first one got stolen

first, I did not realize when I ordered this that the basket was detachable with handles like a shopping basket. that is so nifty and I've gotten a lot of use out of that feature. not only do I take it into stores in place of a regular basket, it's useful for getting home with all my stuff. instead of taking everything out of the basket and carrying it in the house, I can just take the whole basket with me.the basket attaches to the handlebar mount at two points: there are two small holes in the bottom of the basket for the pegs to go through, and the handles of the basket slot through two holes at the top. this makes it super easy to attach or detach the basket without any fuss, but its secure enough to hold the basket in place.now for the things that have disappointed me. pretty shortly after I got the basket, the Velcro loop that attaches the mount to the bike frame broke. the Velcro is long enough that I can twist it around to secure it, but it is kind of frustrating and comes undone occasionally. second, by this Velcro loop there is this sort of triangular piece that holds the basket away from the frame at an angle. this triangular piece rests on two little pegs. these pegs are not very sturdy. once while I was riding, they failed on me, causing the basket to drop down and hit the bike very loudly, which was startling. the basket did not fall off though. the pegs were bent out of shape so they did not support that triangular piece. I bent them back into shape, but they still frequently fail. again, this doesn't cause the basket to fall off, but it does make the basket bang against the bike making for a bumpy ride. note that I dont carry anything heavy in the basket, usually just my water bottle and some small items.EDIT 2025: Dropped to one star. The mounting piece for the bike has now completely failed. The piece where the basket handles slot in at the top near the handle bar broken off entirely. Retrospec does not appear to sell replacements for the basket mounting so I guess I have to get a new, different basket. ☹️
