FAQs

What is the AtranVeloSystem (AVS)?

AVS is a patented mounting system by AtranVelo that allows for secure and easy attachment and detachment of various accessories, like baskets and bags, to compatible bike carriers.

Do I need a special rack for this basket?

Yes, you need an AtranVeloSystem (AVS) compatible front or rear carrier, or an AVS adapter plate, to mount this basket.

How much weight can the basket hold?

The basket has a maximum carrying capacity of 10 kg.

What are the dimensions of the basket?

The basket measures W37 x H12 x L27 cm.

Can I wash the basket?

You can wipe the basket with a damp cloth. The bamboo base should be cleaned gently and dried thoroughly. Avoid submerging it in water.

Is the bamboo base treated for weather resistance?

The product description does not specify weather treatment for the bamboo base. It is recommended to protect it from prolonged exposure to rain and moisture and to dry it thoroughly if it gets wet.

What is the volume of the basket?

The basket has a volume of 6 liters.

Troubleshooting

Basket does not click into place securely.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the AVS carrier bridge or on the basket's hooks. Verify that you are using a compatible AVS carrier. Push down firmly until the click is heard.

Basket rattles or feels loose while riding.

Re-seat the basket to ensure it is fully engaged with the AVS system. Check for any damage to the hooks or the carrier interface. Ensure the load inside is distributed evenly.

Bamboo base shows signs of wear.

Gently clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Consider applying a food-safe wood sealant suitable for bamboo if extensive wear occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your bicycle is equipped with an AtranVeloSystem (AVS) compatible front or rear carrier, or an AVS adapter.
