REI Members get back an estimated $ 4.00 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Electra Quick-Release Wire Bike Basket:

I took a shot to see if this would work on my wife's Electra, "Karma" model. It wasn't listed as compatible, but it turned out to fit perfectly. If you're in doubt notice that the bracket has a lot of clearance in front of the handlebar, so I would assume it would work with almost any cruiser bike.

Comments about Electra Quick-Release Wire Bike Basket:

I have a Townie that I love to ride all summer. This basket is perfect for going to school, the gym, or the grocery store for dinner. The quick release is handy too! It does bounce a little when going over bumps, which causes the screws to loosen a bit and some light objects to bounce right out. Overall it is sturdy and well worth the money. I first had a cheap basket I bought on sale at a local bike store but it quickly wore down and broke. This one has yet to show any signs of wear and tear.

Comments about Electra Quick-Release Wire Bike Basket:

This is the second time I have tried to post this??? The metal basket is secured by a poorly designed plastic slide mount which will break the first time the bike happens to tip over. In our case we were filling the tires with air. [...] This plastic bracket is clearly a weak point in the design and until they offer this part separately I suggest you stay away. To bad some companies insist on selling people parts they do not need. Unfortunatly these extra materials will sit on a self until they are disgarded and end up in a landfil???????? Not a very green consept.

I am loving my new bike basket. My daughter and I have been riding our bikes to the local supermarket and picking up 4-5 things, getting some exercise and enjoying ourselves. I love that the basket is very easy to click on and off.
