Has anyone used this bag as an e-bike battery pack?

I haven't tried that (have an e-bike kit in my basement, but never got roundto installing it). The bag is probably a reasonable size and shape, and sturdyenough. But it gets awkward to wheel it around with a heavy bag of grocerieshigh up on the rack, and the same might apply to putting a heavy battery packthat high up. It's an awesome bag for lightweight stuff like lock, rainpants, lunch(especially because you can unclip it quickly and carry it with the shoulder strap).

I have a modified bicycle to allow for a rack to hold the battery to make an electric bike and have used a different rack with a .25" thick plate on top that I have cut slots in to accept the bag clips and due to the bag being quite adjustable it has worked well for me. Having the rack that is made specifically for the bag would have been easier in the long run but the bag is great, adjustable, and very durable too. I love the large amount of reflectors they have worked into it too. Seems a little expensive but it is well made.

Hi, I just held the bag in position against the swing arm of my motorcycle, and made tiny holes in the bag where the straps would go. It was very easy. The bag is great and has been out in all weathers. I'm delighted with it.

I bought a bicycle bag that attaches to the Jetson bike handlebars.It fits nicely and I can use this for carrying the charger or bags that I can use to store larger items.

Well I ended up getting it for my ebike. It works great carrying my old style SLA batteries. Sometimes I carry just 30lbs on one side and sometimes 30lbs one side and about 10lbs the other. I actually dont notice it wobbling or other problems. Maybe its just me. But anyways...works good!

I would not buy this item, the carrying strap broke with about 4 pounds in it- I ended up giving it away. I would not trust a laptop in one of these pannier bags, period.

I was hoping to put bags on mine, but the instruction booklet says not to put more than 10 pounds on it. I believe this bike would do fairly well cross country, but if the battery ruins dry it's a work out to peddle. I would recommend removing the battery to ride without power, because the battery is fairly heavy. The Manuel recommends this too. This thing goes up hills no problem. I find peddling helps take a lot of the work off the battery.

No I haven't, but I do charge the battery using a USB charger and bring it with me to charge my iphone, try with GoPro.

I have used it on long distance back country mountain bike rides. It works very well. I would caution you as there is a lot of room and the pack can get heavy quick if you use it all.

Its a good quality bag. I have mine strapped to my mountain bike and that has taken a lot of abuse. Recommend.

Yes; As I use to carry my backpack a lot. But since I purchase this bag. About a year ago. I haven't use my backpack as of yet again. This bag is not too big. And not to small. Looks great on any motorcycle. And does not steal the look. If you have a sports motorcycles. It can hold a lot of items inside. And another thing about this bag. It is expandable. Keeps it shape. As if you just brought it.

I haven't. I even put mine in my pocket at the gym. It seems pretty rugged. Hope that helps.

Yes it does, and it all fits in the bag. You may want to get a backup battery though, as they always die at the worst time.

I don't think so. I have done this a few times and the battery pack still performed pretty well.

Well....yes technically that would work. This is a very tough little rubber bag, very tough. The top closes and is secured by a "male" - "female" connector, blanking on the correct name, like the snaps of a life vest, so you could tie that to a rope or put a bungee cord through it, I guess it might flop around in the wind on your bike, but if you need waterproof, this is it. Happy trails
