It mounts unobtrusively on the side of your rear bicycle rack and folds compactly for easy storage. Crafted from solid steel, it is durable, weather-resistant, and perfect for both commuting and weekend market trips. ## Description About Swagman "Ride, paddle, explore: seek your adventure" That philosophy was the intention of founders Jim and Jan Morris who saw an opportunity to create a better way to transport your bike back in the early 90’s. Swagman was one of the first companies worldwide to design and market a hitch style bike rack. Over the years, that small bike rack company based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia grew to include numerous other ground breaking designs in the North American Bicycle, RV and Automobile markets. ## Features - Rear bicycle basket with space for groceries, shopping or personal items and even small pets - Mounts unobtrusively on the side of rear bicycle rack - Folds up compactly for easy storage - Solid steel construction; durable, weather and rust resistant - Versatile and practical for commuting and weekend market shopping! ## Images ![Swagman Fat Basket - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91JKiTAlyZL.jpg) ![Swagman Fat Basket - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mzb96DkNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Poor quality control and not very strong *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2022* I have purchased 2 of these and they are not very strong and/or have poor quality control. On the first one, the bottom panel is permanently bowed due to carrying ~15 pounds on city streets. The weld that closes the loop of the frame of the bottom panel has broken. It still works but now I load it very lightly.On the 2nd one, the hook has separated from the bottom panel due to carrying ~15 pounds on city streets. It looks like the tack welds that hold the hook to the bottom panel frame loop is missing and the weld to next truss just failed. I'm returning the 2nd one and trying the Wald branded basket.Overall, the design is poor. The bottom panel frame loop closure is located in the middle of the frame which experiences higher bending stress when loaded. Moving the closure towards a corner would reduce that stress.The hook is tack welded on top of the bottom panel. Those welds in direct tension holds up the bottom. Putting the hook under the bottom panel would rest the panel on the hook and provide a lever arm to reduce the forces on the welds against the force of the hook. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made, great value. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2022* Selected because it is sized perfectly to hold the standard (USA) paper grocery bag. It mounted easily and securely to my fat tire e-bike. It's great for errands and shopping. When folded, it's very slim, and offers no cross wind drag like a solid pannier bag. I like the finer mesh of the bottom panel for supporting the contents. Some competitors have a very open cage bottom. When opened, the rectangular shape locks in very solidly. As an added benefit, this insulated cooler bag: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LGDGHYQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details (the 35-can (24 liter) version) fits perfectly in the basket to transport cold foods back home. With these two baskets, I look forward to biking with a sizeable picnic lunch to a scenic spot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love Them *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021* They worked great for me. Others complained about the clasps. It is folding wire panels...they must be manually aligned and held by hand while locking the clasp. Found it to be simple, easy, and nothing to complain about. Such criticisms is kind of like complaining how difficult it is to zip a cloth duffel bag. Holding it and zipping it is just part of the deal. Love them. Recommend. Why I bought them is pannier bags or saddle bags must be removed when the bike is mounted to my car's bicycle rack. Because solid bags hide the tail lights of the car. These are permanently mounted to the bike. They are see thru for my car's tail lights, and fold out of the way when nit used. The rubberized coating is nice. However, I presume it is bare untreated metal underneath. So I expect trying to treat and paint rust will be more of a challenge. Compared to if they were powder coated metal like most others. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/11202973-swagman-fat-basket](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/11202973-swagman-fat-basket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
