Swagman Whee Pod Rear Bike Carrier – Reviews

This is an update to my previous review (which I have included below). I am changing my rating from 4 stars to 1 star because I have discovered the lock is a complete joke. I “locked” this container, returned to it later, and forgetting that it was “locked” easily pulled it open, breaking the “locking mechanism” (sic) in the process! It turns out the upper portion of what they claim is a lock is simply a small tab of plastic that breaks off very easily. This product is a great idea but the execution is comically awful. (If some manufacturer happens to be reading this review there is a great business opportunity here for a well-designed an executed version of this product.)

(here is my previous review) I bought this specifically because it locks. I had recently purchased a set of very nice panniers (fortunately on sale) and after using them for only one day they were stolen off my bicycle. This cargo container attached easily to my rack and would be very difficult to remove with

good product, I use it to lock my purse away, I found a front basket blocked my view of my front wheel making it hard to steer. The Wee pod solves this problem, allows me to put my weight on the back of my bike. fits well with my Townie rack. One minor problem was the holes drilled in the bottom of the carrier & the holes drilled for the brackets did not line up, so I could only mount to the center & front holes of the carrier & not the back as those holes did not line up. The sides of the carrier stick out a little on my back bike rack, so I cannot use panniers, but otherwise, it is a solid carrier, I needed something to carry my fairly large purse & camera gear.

Product allows me to store my stuff on my bike rack. The Swagman holds ALL the items I need helmet,water, pullover,etc and it locks. It is lighweight and durable. Delivery time was fast and the price was right

I ordered the new item, but I received the item that was returned by someone else. Anyway, I like this carrier and it looks good on my bike, but it has two problems. The first is that it is not compatible for all types of rear racks. I have the quick release rear rack so I could not fit this carrier on my bike. Anyway I used the mechanical techniques and finally able to attach it with my rack. The second problem is that it can be stolen from the bike easily, if the rear rack other than the compatible one is used. It is hard to explain here that what kind of racks are compatible, but I highly recommend you to buy the rack that has few steel rods between them so that you can attach this carrier to your bike. Those racks that has two to three inches thick and rounded bar in the middle will not work with this carrier.
