Hi all, I have a new (Bulls) ebike, and am hoping to get some recommendations on accessories including:

  • Cargo rack bag (what is this called?), I have the rack over my rear tire, but need something that can carry a modest amount of things, thinking a bag of groceries would be nice to fit in there. (I couldn't pick up a bag of sugar today and having something that can carry things would help)
  • Water bottle holder
  • Cameras maybe? Reading the other thread thinking about a coupe
  • Repair kit/emergency kit

I have a bike shop but they're more repair/new bikes, and don't have many accessories so I'll probably be limited to unfortunately Amazon, but of course prefer smaller sellers. Thanks!

Thank you. Didn't know what I was looking for at all! Yes the backpack is getting very annoying

    If you're looking for one that goes on top of the rear rack instead of bags that attach to the sides (panniers) I've seen them listed generically on Amazon as rear rack bags. Some include fold out panniers while others are just the rack-top bag

    They also make backpacks that clip onto bike racks. I've got one from 174 Hudson and it's pretty decent (not waterproof though).

    Xtracycle makes a waterproof one and there are the famous but expensive Ortlieb Rollers (but they're pretty much the best bags you can get).

    If you want something like Ortlieb rollers but cheaper, I have a similar model from Buchel I got for around $40-50 a bag. I haven't used them a ton since they live on my fatbike (an ENGWE EP2, my least ridden bike), but they seem to be pretty decently made.

    If you're anything like me, you'll probably end up with a few extra bags you ended up not liking quite enough. It's a thing that tends to happen with stuff like saddles, holsters, bags, etc. - gotta be just right or it goes into The Storage Box.
