What to put on rear rack.

els · Post by **els** » Sat May 31, 2008 12:37 pm

What sort of cases, lockboxes, et cetera can anyone recommend that will fit on the rear rack of the Spree and not look too stupid? I am looking for something on the smaller side that can close to keep documents, papers, manuals in, nothing like a milk crate or basket. I've seen saddlebags on some of your scoots...any ideas?

I had thought about them but those seem really bulky and awkward...I guess I'm looking for something with not a lot of height.

Couple rubber straps and a zip up binder?

Heh, that would definitely get the job done. Maybe I'll look in an office supply store for a small rectangular lock box. I find the trunks look too insectoid and unbalanced and silly, and milk crates just won't cut it. I like the baskets but they aren't ideal for storing what I need. I'll probably need to be inventive on this one.

Yeah, I've got a 2001 Elite and wondered what the heck to put on the chrome rack?

Are there any official accessories besides the big ol' black box?

I've seen a guy put some motorcycle saddle bags on a scooter. it didn't look half that bad. Then you wouldn't have a bulky top case.

I have a milk crate. Its big enough to hold a bunch of stuff, yet never in the way.

If you want it cheap, and recycled

Laptop case
VHS camcorder bag
Old 35mm camera & lens bag - the kind that would hold telephotos and more
Diaper bag (no one would even look inside that one

)
Small sports bag

Take the bag of your choice, cut some 1/4" or so plywood to drop into the bottom of the bag, put some T-Nuts in, staple some nylon over it, drop it into the bag and bolt from bottom though metal straps

What did you use to secure it? I am using zipties right now but I only got some small ones. One already snapped.
