I checked today and it looks like the Yuba Bread Basket (large front basket) will fit on the Radwagon. The caveats are that you have to remove the front light, and you may have to do some cable management to keep them out of the way of the basket. I haven't installed the basket yet, but I am strongly considering it. There are pre-drilled holes on the Radwagon frame ready to accept the Bread Basket. Does anyone know if Rad is planning to produce their own front basket?

Great info. I am planning on picking up a Radwagon in the next couple weeks. It will be my first bike in years. So excited!!!
Cool! There are a few caveats- The mounting hardware that is included with the basket does not fit the bike. You could possibly drill out the holes so that it fits, but I just used the 4 screws that are already on teh bike in the mounting holes. I don't know if it is "full strength," but it seems plenty stout for what I'll be carrying. I also had to remove the headlight, and when installed, the basket compresses the cables a bit. It's also a learning curve to ride with it. You lose the visual cue of seeing your front tire move when you turn the handle bars.

I have a Yuba Bread Basket on my wagon. I re-installed the light on the front of the basket. The hardware from Yuba does not fit the wagon. I had to get some bolts and bushings to make it fit. It works great though. I put up to 25lb groceries or our little dog with no issues.
@finerbiner : Could you post a picture of your wagon with the Bread Basket?

I'm curious how this will fit. The mounting holes don't seem to line up..
Example: I got a RadRover in August 2016. Awesome. I had my iconic beer bottle opener installed on one side and a prototype bottle holder on the other. My father loved the Rover and wanted one for himself in early 2017. So he bought one. We moved the beer bottle opener & prototype bottle holder onto his bike. They did not fit. The bolt holes on the new bike were off by about a 1/4 of an inch. Both products had to have the mounting holes rounded out so that they could then screw into the frame.
So with the bread basket - if it's a fixed frame with no adjustments - I'm curious to see how many users will have issues installing due to non-fitment.

Hey finerbiner, nice setup with the Radwagon. I'm still tweaking mine. What tool bag, saddle and phone mount are you using in the photo?
Thx

It's all no name. The seat is from Blackburn. The suspension post is an X-Lo7. The bag is from Disco Man and is actually supposed to be attached to the stem. The phone holder has no name on it but it attached by removing the stem cap and replacing with one that attaches to it. It is awesome. puts the phone right where you can reach and see it easily. The bottle holder is Planet Bike. It all works well and was less than $100 total on Amazon.
