Under the burgeoning market, we discovered that most bicycle accessories are designed with a single function and unable to make functional and user application requirements presented in the module of innovation, leaving room for development in terms of product function according to the special demands of users. This study conducts a design study on the rear rack, one of the bicycle accessories. Through a survey conducted among users and existing product analysis, the author concludes the essential points for rear rack design, presenting a diversify module of study to meet the needs of different users.
