I mounted a smart monitor designed for motorcycles on my e-bike. It serves as a replacement for a rearview mirror, and since I got it secondhand for $30 and it’s waterproof, I can leave it attached all the time.

I struggled with how to mount it so it wouldn’t obstruct my forward view while riding, so I modified a smartphone arm mount I had lying around and gave it a try.

I aligned the screw holes on the bracket that hangs the basket from the handlebars, drilled some holes, and mounted it—which moved the monitor position slightly forward 🥳

The arm is white, so it looks a bit out of place, though 😆

I installed a lockable front basket on my commuter e-bike.

I wanted to keep my rain gear in there at all times in case of sudden rain.

I also plan to use it to store the cables for my dashcam and my battery.

The basket is manufactured by Sagisaka in Japan.

I hope the concept of this lockable basket catches on and leads to more options becoming available.
