XP 2.0 step-thru anyone tested cargo baskets stability grocery shopping

[JohnFilmore]

Ordered an XP 2.0 step-thru + cargo package last week, still waiting on the bike but the cargo package came Friday, front & rear baskets are bigger than I expected and pretty sturdy, the front tray looks like you could install a seat and hold a small teenager.

The baskets look like they could hold half a shopping cart of groceries, has anyone tried loading it with groceries? If so, did you find the step-thru stable and controllable, brakes stopping reliably?

I wouldn’t strap a keg onto one of the baskets but if you can put the heavy stuff in the rear and the lighter stuff in the front you should be fine. The most important factor is making sure that when you come to a stop you can plant your feet on the ground to balance the bike. You may want to invest in clip-on netting to make sure nothing pops out when you hit a bump. Good luck.
