Pannier bags for bicycles and e-bikes

Do pannier rack bags fit all pannier racks?

It depends on the fastening system of the pannier and whether the bike's luggage rack is suitable for it. Some pannier bags are only suitable for certain types of luggage rack, while others can be used universally. It is therefore important to check before buying whether the pannier can also be attached to your own luggage rack. However, a universal attachment system/click system is built into most panniers. It then just depends on whether the luggage carrier meets the requirements. Some luggage carriers have very thick strut diameters, so the bag's hooks don't fit. However, the description of the bags always states the maximum diameter that is allowed.

For the majority of pannier rack bags, the hooks are attached to a kind of rail, so you can adjust them individually to suit your pannier rack.

Are all pannier bags waterproof?

Not all panniers are waterproof. Whether a pannier is waterproof or not depends on the material and design. Some luggage rack bags are made of waterproof material and have a special closure system that prevents water from entering the bag. Other backpack bags are not waterproof and should therefore not be used in the rain or wet to protect the contents of the bag from moisture. However, some of these bags have a rain cover that you can pull over the bag when it rains.

What types of pannier bags are there?

There are three different types of pannier bags.

• The classic side bag that you hang individually on the right and/or on your luggage rack.
• The pannier bags that are connected to each other so that you can place them on the luggage rack as a whole.
• Bags with one large compartment that only sit on the luggage rack, so they don't have a pocket on the right and left. These bags are either attached with universal Velcro straps or a special click system.

Are there pannier bags specifically for e-bikes?

When it comes to pannier bags, you don't actually have to distinguish between e-bikes and "normal" bikes. The luggage racks on both types of bike are the same. It's all about what size and what type you prefer.

How big should a pannier bag be?

Useful things to know about pannier bags

Many pannier bags come with a detachable strap. This is especially useful if you often take the bag off, for example, to go shopping or to carry your bag to the office.

What other bags are available for my bike or e-bike?

There are different types of bicycle bags, which vary in design, capacity and intended use. The most common types of bicycle bags are:

• Handlebar bags: These bags are attached to the handlebars of the bike and provide additional storage space for items that need to be easily accessible. They often come in the form of small bags or boxes and are suitable for carrying items such as a bike map, cell phone or snacks.
• Bike baskets: These baskets are attached to the luggage rack and provide storage space for items that need to be transported conveniently. They are often available in the form of wickerwork or metal baskets and are suitable for transporting shopping or even small dogs.
• Saddle bags: A saddle bag is attached to the bicycle saddle and offers additional storage space for smaller items such as a wallet, cell phone, spare tube or tools. The saddle bag is attached to the saddle using mounting clips, Velcro or screws and can be quickly and easily removed if necessary.
• Frame bags: These are bags that you attach to the frame of your bike. These can be triangular (triangle) bags or top tube bags, which often also have a viewing window for a smartphone. These frame bags are attached securely and universally with the help of Velcro fasteners.
• Bike backpack: A backpack is an option if you need to transport larger items but don't have a luggage rack or pannier bags. A backpack is not always ideal for cycling, especially because ventilation at the back is not provided. Bike backpacks are mostly used for mountain biking.
