I saw the Topeak TetraRack
I saw the Topeak TetraRack M1 and M2 in a local ebike shop and though it was pretty neat. I'm a fan of the Topeak trunk bags, and decided to purchase their top of the line MTX DXP with the fold down panniers. The rack weighs 2.3lbs and the bag weighs 2.7lbs but is easily removable. What I love about this setup is that the rear rack supports up to 12kg (26lbs) and it actually worked fully loaded during my tests! Most other racks for mountain bikes attach to the seat post, and can get bumped side to side easily. This one is secure, won't get in the way of a dropper seat post, and works with suspension seat posts as well. It's not cheap at $120 USD for the rack and $110 USD for the bag, but these are well made items. The bag even has reflective strips of fabric and a bottle holster at the back. For more details on these accessories and some stock images, check out the forum post I created at https://electricbikereview.com/forums...
