Staggered Axis Sidecar

Abstract

Apparatus, associated methods and systems relate to an accessory rack. The rack may be configured to be coupled to a frame of a cycling vehicle. The rack may include a mounting plate with keyhole apertures aligned to operably engage in a single direction. The rack may be configured into a cargo mode to receive a load. The rack may be configured into an accessory mode having an auto-locking protrusion configured such that, when a corresponding multiple mounting studs of a mountable accessory is brought into register with and inserted through entry points of the multiple keyhole apertures, the studs are operated in a single direction for a distance where at least one keyhole slot is shorter than a length of the rack, then the auto-locking protrusion registers with and is urged into locking engagement with a corresponding locking feature on the mounting plate.
