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!

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).

Oh cool! I'll look into those!

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.

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.
