“Are there any accessories or mounts to attach a basket above the back tire? Would there even be enough space to do so? I really like the look, but need it to have more storage for comuting.”

A standard seat-tube mounted rack won't work as the FLEET'S seat tube is at a non-standard angle. A frame-mount rear rack to hold a basket is entirely possible, with additional non-factory parts. I own a SWFT FLEET and mounted an Ibera rear pannier rack. No problems with the threaded rear axle boss mount on the bike. And I used a pair of off-road vehicle light bar mounts (like $10 on Amazon) on the rear fork for the front rack rail attachment as the FLEET lacks mounting brackets, as you noticed. I will be carrying heavy loads and those are rock-solid, but any appropriately-sized metal P-clamp would work. [site is not currently accepting photo uploads]
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I installed a rear rack on my Fleet. You could get saddle bags for that rack or bungee a basket.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I mounted a rack on my Fleet. The bike is junk though. Nothing but problems and SWFT sucks as a company for support.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey there! The FLEET wasn't designed to hold attachments, however we will keep this in mind as we're developing more product in the future.
