Bought me the Rear carrier, L32 Top case, Licene plate holder and the side stand food widener fot my new super soco tc.

Hope it arrives soon. Bought it from outdoordreams in Germany. I live in Belgium so normally it won't take to long.

Anyone any experience with a top case on their tc?

I would like to use it for my helmet and for some minor shopping.

Can't wait!!!

And by the way, Only 160km on my tc but I really love it!!!

Gonna love it even more when the sun is shinning!!!

I have a top case. You need the upgraded rack to install one. I love visiting friends and not having to bring my helmet and gloves into the house. Outdoordreams are pretty reliable, you should get your stuff soon. I have 3500+ miles on mine in a year of ownership, it's earning me my living right now, so I can't complain.

Ok, so I have the rear carier and the l32 eyecase. The rear carrier was no problem.

Fits perfectly. But how the hell do you fit the plate from the eyecase on your carrier???

Screws are to short, plate doesn't fit? What the hell?

Anybody any answers?

I don't have the same case as yours, but the fitting plate looks very similar.  I had to get longer bolts from a local hardware store to get it fitted, and even with that, I could only get 3 of the brackets to fit the pattern of the carrier and the plate.  I was able to fit one bracket each side at the rear of the plate, and one in the middle at the front.

One piece of advice, the original carrier I got was extremely weak, and fractured only after a few hundred miles.  I got it welded and reinforced, and it was ok after that.  I'm not sure if the new ones have a similar issue, however I have seen some other people on forums complaining of the same weakness.

I know it's too late for you, but I have seen a different design from a third party company at:

I'm not sure if this is a stronger design, but it seems to sit higher on the bike attaching to the existing grab handle, and may have the advantage of not need the number plate relocating.

Do you guys ever get the feeling that Super Soco might not be a quality brand? 😆

Don't think it's cheap, but that's what you get with new technology on the market... Especially with e scooters...

Thanks for the advice and the link!

I Will try and fix it with other screws, plates,...

The topcase feels really cheap. Plastic.

Will see how it goes.

The rear carrier is a pain in the ass, because the license plate get's crushed under it!

And if you put the license plate lower, the light isn't under it anymore...

Don't think it's legal either.

Will have to find these things out.

It's a learning process with these bikes 🙂

Will keep you up to date.
