This is a guest “adventure” post from Jane and Carolyn.
This is an article to excite e-bikers to plan a multi-day trip in some fantastic locations and to thank Pete for his generosity in loaning us two e-bikes for an afternoon in Sedona, Arizona.
We had wanted to try out an e-bike on a multi-day trip ever since our city bike tour in Copenhagen in 2011. Â It was only a 4 hour tour and more significantly we only rode on flat ground. Â To find out how e-bikes would ride in hilly terrain, we contacted Pete.

Basil Tour XL Double Bicycle Bag
In some cases adding bags to the rear rack of an electric bike is not as easy as buying any bicycle bag or pannier and installing it on the rack.
Some of the racks that house the e-bike battery have larger tubing that won’t allow a some bicycle bags to clip onto.
And in some cases the battery itself gets in the way of the bicycle bag clips and does not allow them to fully attach to the rack.
The bags that work well for these types of racks have two bags that have a connection piece in the center that rest on top of the rack.
Here are some bags that work with [Read more…] about Guide to Rear Rack Bags (Panniers) for Electric Bikes
