- If someone were to ask me, "What accessories should I buy for my Ebike?", I will definitely add a trunk bag like this (or similar) to the top 5 items to highly consider.
This RockBros Trunk Bag has seriously made riding much more enjoyable. I can carry all the stuff I want/need without worry and it's so easy to take off and install securely back on in less than a minute.
If you think this bag might be as useful to you as it is for me, you can find it here on Amazon: amzn.to/2UUVY1U
RockBros also make a less expensive version that looks to be a softer material and I am not 100% sure it comes with a rain cover like the other one. amzn.to/3zbfxBY

I literally got one for my 2nd bike, because of this review. Good pitch lol
Great review. I just ordered this bag using your link in the description. Thanks for your attention to details...
This is a good review, you explained the bag very well. Great work.
Thanks so much! I really love the design of the bag.
Great review. Really appreciate the videos you post. My Blackbird should, hopefully, be here the end of the month. Looking forward to getting out on it.
Thanks! Hope you're enjoying your Blackbird!
Great review
Great review!
The ROCKBRO Bike Bag Looks really nice on the Blackbird!
Thanks for all the links. I don't have to pull out paper and pen to order all the goodies! Love the brick curtain.
Yeah, I REALLY like how it looks on the Blackbird! Lol, that brick curtain is a life saver in hiding the mountain of distracting mess behind it.
Excellent review of a great bag.
Yep I bought this a while ago. It is great! The thing that sold me was was when I saw that it opened into panniers. That did it. I also took advantage of your Amazon Price Check video, using Camel….. and picked it up at $84. Still quite an investment, but if you want to, or have to carry, a fair amount of things, I think this is a great bag. Topeak has some great bags too, but for the money on sale this got my vote.
My XP 2.0 has arrived. At last the wait is over. I think it's beautiful. All black & shiny. I will have time to set it up right because it's now raining.
Congratulations! Now the adventure begins! Have fun!
Nice review,I have a few RockBros accessories and like them very much,right now I’m debating purchasing a RockBros frame bag to try.
Same here, I really like the quality of the Trunk bag and thinking about a frame bag too.
Cool! Thanks.
Very nice! Rock Bros bag would make much more sense than the trunk bag and ammo boxes I have attached to my Rad Runner! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
How do you like it? Ordered mines today for my Rad Expand 5
Found this bag on ali baba for$60 us took about 30 days to get, but I got 2 for about the same as one from Amazon
I have a slightly different rockbros bag I just got. It's a little cheaper and the panniers are smaller but it suits my needs perfectly and seems really well made. Wish I had gotten it sooner too...
Excellent bag and great content!!!
It IS everything you say it is and more!
The only issue is that on my bike it tends to eventually lean to the left side and looks awful hanging off a bit.
No, it is not coming off. It is secure.
Just a cosmetic issue.
Just recently bought the material-covered version of their bag, as I'm not a fan of the shiny mat'l. It does come with the rain cover, and I've found it convenient to
fold it and stow it in the interior pocket under the lid. If it starts rainibg it's right there at hand.
Brilliant!
Appreciate the feedback!
Just bought mines today I'm really excited about it. This bag has everything I wanted the coolest thing about it is that it transforms.
Rock bros and engwe bag are the 2 best
From an aesthetic standpoint, the bag looks much better turned in a 180 degree orientation, IMHO. I see it mounted like yours by most folks, but it has a much better “fastback” design flow mounted in the opposite direction as I’ve done with mine. It makes little difference from a practical standpoint but it does mess with my design sensibilities in the mounting direction as shown. I concur, they are fantastic bags!
me too but then it won’t be able to hold a water bottle and if you need to attach the light or some other accessory you won’t be able to
My brother is a complusive buyer. This one actually looks like it's worth buying compared to the bags purchased this far😅
Great review. BTW, is there a way to secure the bag with a small lock if I decide to leave it in the rear rack?
Thanks. You really provided a thorough review. I've been considering this bag. And seeing the pop-up bit is a plus. Also I like the red light on the back end of the Blaze. Do you prefer the Vont 'Breeze' red light or the red light on your Blaze?
The light I had in the video is from the Vont pyro set. The red light is the same that they bundle with the breeze. I don’t have a preference since they’re the same. I don’t recall getting any red lights with my Blaze lights. I think that was a bundle they made after I got mine.
I love that they are rechargeable.
That pop up on the bag is so helpful. One thing I forgot to mention is that it’s easy to clean if it got a little dirty.
Are u able to tell me where I might be able to mount a rear veiw camera on the bike with the bag you have ? Maybe off the rack but how would I mount it
Great review, but please test anything claiming to be water resistant. Those that have tested this bag by putting it in a shower find it gets soaked inside from all the zippers. Even the rain cover doesn't keep the moisture out.
Still a good review. I got ROSWheel canvas panniers that can hold a lot more for less cost and I can still add a top bag. They may be too big for the Lectric, but fit great on my Aventon Aventure.
Good point! It guess its more 'splash resistant' and it could be effective against a quick drizzle. Thanks for the heads up about the rain cover. Bummer, I wish I knew that before I made that claim in the video, I would've warned people and at least mentioned that they might want to scotch guard the cover.
I really appreciate that you took the time to give feedback! If I buy another brand to make a comparison video (which I am debating on doing) I will be sure to inform the viewers about it.
I just looked at the ROSWheel panniers you mentioned..That's some serious holding capacity!
@@EbikeProducts I found the video that tested it. A guy in the Netherlands where waterproofing is important performed the same test the manufacture demonstrated. czcams.com/video/98iOyHZdXf8/video.html
Check out my Facebook group Ebike Adventure. I've shared one of your videos. I write reviews and how to troubleshoot and repair ebikes. facebook.com/groups/303443448019844/
WOW! Took a look at the facebook group and joined up! Do you do any youtube videos on ebikes? Your stuff is amazing! Your comparison data is so valuable. I am a huge Aventon Fan and would love to get an Aventure or Level. That data you shared is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
@@EbikeProducts I am thinking about doing videos, but it is so much more time-consuming than writing articles and doing analysis. Our personalities are a lot of like. I hate to say I find the analysis almost as much fun as riding. Check out my 40 miles 12-hour ride around North Lake Washington. I had 12% battery left. I also created a Tips list from the ride for beginners. I need to create a website as Facebook doesn't like words like spoke nipples or feet and even though I'm not selling anything it keeps flagging my reviews as spam. Would love to chat with you sometime.
@@EbikeProducts I had spent months researching and finally settled on the Lectric ST. RAD Power basically offered the same components for a lot more and they are in my backyard. While waiting 6 weeks for my Lectric the Aventon Aventure came out and it justified spending the extra $1,000. My upgrade to-do list for the Lectric had grown that much. I canceled the Lectric and had an Aventon Aventure in a week. For the way you ride the Level would be a perfect bike and now you can get the color display for it and Throttle on Demand.
I just got a lectric and in the market for an insulated bag.
Do you have any suggestions for a bag to hold the lectric battery (430 mm length)
Bag looks nice but too large for me
One thing that you will need to be careful of with a bag with paniers, is that the back of my feet on the pedals hit the paniers as i pedal. I have an electric 24" Bakou hunting bike, and i have to overhang the bag about 5" on the back of the rack so it doesn't interfere with my pedaling.
Is that true for this bag or your panniers? These popout panniers aren't huge, but I don't have Lectric to test it on.
@@MrKenRury no, I have a different panier bag. I just wanted people to keep that in their mind , as for something to look out for. Could be a problem for the smaller bikes.
I like these bags too, but the so-called waterproof version isn't worth the extra money because the zippers aren't waterproof. Ugh. I bought the less expensive one that also comes with a rain cover. Much better value.
Will it fit a 12.9” iPad Pro?
You said there is a cheaper bag. I don't want that one. Is the name different? How do I know I'm getting the better one? What makes it less desirable?
I am looking for a rear bag that can fit a 13 inch laptop. Will this bag do the trick? Thanks.
A 13” laptop might fit, but my concern is that it would have to little protection for it that I wouldn’t recommend it. If you added padding it might then make it too big to fit. I’m kind of fanatical about my electronics and would recommend a backpack specifically for laptops. I know it’s not ideal for keeping weight off of you, but an ebike can be very rough for something as sensitive as a laptop.
What is the difference between two options, ie cheaper and dearer one
The big difference is the water resistant material. You don't really need the expensive one. My next few bags will be the same design but the standard material. I don't need it to be water resistant.
@2:55 actually the Rockbros is a knockoff of the original Topeak MTX Trunkbag. The Topeak has the advantage that it works with Topeak MTX racks which means that you just slide the bag on to the rack until you hear a click and the bag is locked in which makes it much easier to take off the bike when you stop somewhere to eat, shop etc.
Uh oh... Just watched a few Topeak reviews and I love the design to slide the bag on and off quickly. I might have to get me one just to do a side by side comparison video now that I love these trunk bags so much. Not sure the rail adapter will fit on both my ebikes, but that will make for an informative review if I get it. Thanks for sharing about Topeak!
@@EbikeProducts The Rockbros is a really good value though. Just a little more work to take off and on.
@@EbikeProducts I wrote a review of the Topeak and Ibera Rack and Bags on the Aventon Aventure. The adapters are impossible to get, the Topeak worked, the Ibera needed longer extensions which I couldn't find. The system is more expensive and is like being locked into Apple. There are so many combinations of racks and bags that don't work together it requires a degree. I tried to simplify that for those buying on the Aventon Aventure, but the same would need done for each bike. facebook.com/groups/303443448019844/permalink/318276009869921/
I have seen some that slide and lock in place velcro does not do it for me
I want a bag but don't want a large one any recommendations
There are quite a bit of bags that are a little smaller but similar in style. Here is one that is kind of popular: amzn.to/3D5lDGl
If you need an even smaller one, you may have to just scroll around doing a search on Amazon to see the numerous options now available.
Engwe sells a bag that is almost identical for $20 cheaper.
Will it fit another lectric battery?
Aww crud!!! I don't know why I didn't try it! I think its a little longer than the Blackbird battery, BUT I could be wrong and will try it tomorrow morning. I'll post my answer here after I try it.
I took out the Lectric XP battery from my Step-thru this morning and it does not come even close to fitting in the bag. That XP battery is really long. I even tried putting it in one of the side bags and it stuck out a few inches.
$44.56 on Ebday
Cofit bag at Amazon has panniers and is great at $24...RockBros is too pricy!
What kind of seat you have on that lectric xp bike?
That’s the Bikeroo seat. If you’re interested in finding out more, In this video, I show the differences I found between the bikeroo and Cloud9. czcams.com/video/3XrOn3hB-k0/video.html
The 2 seats you see in the bag video are the exact seats in the comparison video.
@@EbikeProducts thank you!!
TOPEAK is better .
I think I am going to try one of those soon. They look really good and convenient.
Better how?
