Ahhh, can't do that at this moment, as my lovely wife hasn't been introduced to it yet, even worse, it's got my spare battery in it, they too haven't been introduced! I'd be in the kennel if spotted. Its black with sqiggly blue lines (the bag not wife) and fits nicely.

I am lucky, mine is wonderful, il just choose my moment, I did the hoovering today for the 1st time in the 19 years we've been together, so she might have an idea that there's something on the horizon.

Seems that having adequate back protection to spread a potential impact is key along with spreading weight 70/30 ish to hips.

The momentum of a spare battery at 15mph onto a spine would be quite an impact hence spending wisely on a pack with protection would be top of my list.

Hospitals in uk are stacked out right now and an A&E trip would not go down well: Reason why I’m padding up well and taming down my routes right now...and with cold temps, mud and climbs getting as little as 20 miles from a shimano 504 battery. Back to legs when I run out.

some good options above.

Fantastic information and i am a big fan of camelbak.
Thankyou so much.

I forgot to paste the tool pouch which is included with the backpack I like it a lot.

Amplifi E-Track 23 with 625 battery inside. Bag+battery together weighs 5.4 kg.
I added the white velcro to keep the top of battery secured. Have not ridden yet.

I am curious about this one. I did not know this item. 35 is quite expensive just for the pocket but I see the plus.

It attaches to the bladder strap in the bag and has velcro to secure charger or any bukly items, I have a tube in there.
Tbh I only used it in the summer for longer jaunts.
Added bonus is it fits a lot of bags and good to keep spare battery out of harms way when not needed

Spending £600 odd quid on a spare battery makes the EVOC e- ride backpack a viable option.
I’m not so keen on the jet black colour of it but it was either that or bright yellow

the good thing with external battery (previous gen) is that they are way cheaper £400

I did my first ride with Amplifi E-Track 23 and 625 battery inside today.
Weight was much lighter than I expected and I absolutely loved the bag. It did not change the riding experience at all.

Whatever bag you get - proper big waist straps are the key - these take the weight off your shoulders. Chest strap also helps a lot.
Also make sure it has a back protector and straps to secure the battery inside.
