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!
Cargo rack bag (what is this called?)
Panniers. Way better than a backpack, especially when it’s hot.
If you want some that will last decades: https://ortlieb.com/
Thank you. Didn’t know what I was looking for at all! Yes the backpack is getting very annoying
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.
As for panniers, I’m really happy with the bags I’ve bought from a Chinese brand called Rhinowalk. Same goes for a saddle bag to contain emergency repair things.
In the saddle bag I have a multitool, an electric pump (I have the one from Coospo, another Chinese brand), a manual pump in case the electric one fails, two spare inner tubes (TPU tubes from RideNow, which as you can guess is a Chinese brand), some tyre levers, and patch kit for the inner tubes.
