It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Bike Accessory Recommendations (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

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!

I use Bushwacker panniers, specifically the Omaha grocery panniers and they're pretty good. Got them used off ebay and they still hold a lot of weight for being probably 10+ years old. My only issue is that with no weight and folded in, the bags will pop off if going over a big bump. But I just use the lower hook tied to the handle so thats never an issue anymore.

For a water bottle holder, I got an Arundel one size fits most. Kinda expensive at 30$ but is useful for wine bottles lol.
