Ibera Bike Bag MIK Panniers 52.7L for Ebikes - Clip-On bike Bags For Bicycles with Built-in Battery Holder & Rain Cover - Water-Resistant Bike Rack Bag with Reflective Trim - ONLY FOR MIK RACKS

This review will be for 3 items that were purchased to work together, and I will post it as a review for each individual item. Photos show the bags all the way opened and all the way closed in all configurations.Ibera IB-RA5 Touring Carrier + for disc brakesIbera IB-BA14 Expandable Commuter Trunk BagIbera IB-BA9 PanniersMy husband and I bike a lot, and we camp for many weeks during the summer. The bikes always go to the campgrounds with us. We often use them to ride to the beach, other park attractions, or to the store to pick up a few items. I was getting tired of using plastic shopping bags hung over my arm to carry things to the beach or home from the store, and I often wished we had a way to carry snacks or cold drinks with us. Besides, carrying those swinging plastic bags never made me feel very safe. We also usually have our dog along with us on a break-away leash, and we carry our back-pack style folding chairs with us. It is quite a load, and we needed to be able to take it all safely.This rack and the bag/panniers will be the answer!The rack was easy to install on my 26” bike, and we like it so much that we might get the same rack for my husband’s 29” bike. Since it is adjustable, we are hoping it will fit his bike, too! We bought this particular rack, because it was compatible with the bags we wanted to purchase. It provides a nice frame to add accessories to the bike, and, with a little jury rigging, it even accommodated the attachment needed for my existing clip-on red tail light. The tail light is ever more visible on the frame than it was when attacked to the bike itself.We are always looking for flexibility that will allow us to use things in multiple configurations as we need them, and these bags fit that bill! We can use any one of them, two of them or all 3 as long as the bike stays in balance.The panniers are roomy, and there is stiffening for the bottom and sides that either folds or removes to allow the bags to be flattened to take up less room for storage. They will carry our beach towels, other paraphernalia, or a few groceries with ease! Couldn’t be happier with the size! The large pocket in the main compartment has a pull tie to close the inside bag down before closing the top over it, and the straps that hold the top down are adjustable. In addition to the main compartment, there is a smaller pocket on the outside at the top. These panniers will be perfect for beach towels, water floats or a few groceries, and the top pocket will help keep smaller things like books separate and within easy reach. The panniers come with a handle to carry them when off the bike and a nylon rain cover. Great idea!The Expandable Commuter Trunk Bag lives up to its name! The main compartment can expand at the rear to be about 2 inches taller. It has a solid bottom and foam stiffening that would also act a bit like insulation. This main compartment is perfect for taking along some water bottles, snacks or some lunch – or anything else that will fit. There is a smaller top compartment both inside and outside of the bag to help keep smaller items from getting jumbled in the main compartment, and there is a bungee cord on top to keep items like a jacket or (leakproof) water bottle within easy reach. There is another small pocket at the back of the bag for keys or a wallet. The side pockets can be used as they are or unzipped to expand into a longer inner bag that are like small panniers. The bag also comes with a shoulder strap making it easy to take it along when it is off the bike. The one thing I wish it had is a rain cover. Ibera makes one for this model, but we have not been able to find anyone who sells it.The pannier-like side bags of the Commuter Trunk Bag can be used with the regular Pannier bag, although they will lay on the top of the panniers on an angle. I don’t anticipate using the side bags on the Commuter Trunk Bag as pannier extensions when the Panniers are also on the bike anyway, because it would be a bit of overkill, but the pannier extensions will be great when I need a bit longer space but not enough to put on the panniers.These bags are really flexible, and they will let us use just the bags we need while accommodating every use we can think of.As for the quick release feature on all of the bags – OMG! These bags go on and take off within seconds! So easy! We will see whether or not they come off too easily after we have used them for a while, but for now we love the idea and the design!The one drawback? I am at the shortest safe height to use a 26” bike, and the trunk bag will make it harder for me to swing my leg over onto the bike. I can do it by tilting the bike to the side quite a bit, but I won’t be able to bail off quickly. Shorter riders beware! You might need to try this bag on your bike to see whether or not you will be able to get on or off. The panniers are not problem for getting on or off.

This review is for an installation on a Mongoose 2.1 26" Mountain Bike using an Ibera IB-RA1 Rack.(First off, for anyone else who is curious about whether this bag will work with the IB-RA1 Seatpost-mounted Carrier; for the record it works well indeed even though the rack is not listed as compatible on Amazon or in the Ibera documentation.)I've been busy accessorizing a pair of Mongoose Mountain Bikes for Urban Warfare in and around Minneapolis and one of the requirements was a good rack/bag setup that didn't interfere with the independent rear suspension of the bike.And I wanted to be able to stuff a lot of, well, stuff, into a bag should the need arise.This bag fits the ticket well, with a large center storage section, expandable top compartment, expandable paniers on each side, and a small compartment in the back. It also comes with a shoulder strap and some elastic webbing on the top.Everything seems well constructed, seams seem well-sewn, zippers appear robust (once they have been used a little, like many nylon zippers at first they can be "sticky" until broken in a bit), and the fabric and materials look to be of good quality.The spring-loaded clip assembly for attaching to the rack is wonderful. One of the more pleasant surprises was how quickly my Wife and I could bike to the Local Famers Market, lock the bikes into a rack, unclip the bag from the bike and use it as a should bag for shopping. Very much a no-muss, no fuss arrangement and the bag will actually hold a surprising amount of food (I've had a watermelon in the main compartment already, which was not something originally on my "requirements" list for a bike bag).The panniers work well in this application, and even though there is no place to attach the pannier securing-straps to the frame of my bike (the straps would need to be about 4" longer to make it to the lower frame) I've found that even when pretty full, they don't interfere with the rear wheel of the bike.I do have a few gripes, but all of them are pretty minor:* $70 for a bike bag, even a good one like this, seems a bit steep. I've got a fully outfitted piece of airplane luggage that has traveled over 250K Miles and around the world twice that cost just $10 more and even though this bag is well made, I don't see it holding up nearly as well or as long. But since I would probably buy this bag again I guess it would be fair to say I think it is worth the cost somewhat pricey though it is.* I would love to see a better setup with the shoulder strap. Currently there is no real way to easily tuck the shoulder strap out of the way when the bag is clipped onto the Ibera Rack and one is in "bike mode". Right now I stuff it into the webbing on the top of the bag, which works, but not real well, and can be prone to falling out and then becoming a tangle risk for the rear wheel. However one of the real joys of this bag is being able to rapidly unclip the bag from the rack, sling it over one's shoulder, and quickly go on your merry way. Having to detach the shoulder strap and stuff it into one of the compartments severely hampers that ease-of-use. I just suspect that Ibera could come up with a clever solution here.* The plastic base is a glossy fake-carbon-fiber molded plastic and is exceptionally prone to scuffs and scratches. While it looks "cooler" than the textured-finish black plastic base on their smaller IB-BA6 bag (which I also own for my Wife's Bike) the base on that bag is holding up way better from a looks standpoint than the base on my IB-BA14.Because of those minor issues, the bag only gets a 4-star rating from me. But make no mistake, I do think that the Rack/Bag combo set that I have from Ibera is a great one and I almost certainly would buy it again.(9/29/2014 UPDATE) After further consideration I've bumped this review up to 5 stars. After having used this bag most of the summer and for well over 300 miles of biking I find that it has indeed been a great accessory. If it fits within your budget it definitely well worth having.

Made for an Ibera PakRak rack. The bag is very well made, good stiching, and zippers, multiple very good quality bright reflective strips sewn in. It has a strap at the back for a tail light, or to use as a carry handle. It also comes with a detachable carry strap. It has a large amount of space in the central compartment, and a solid molded base, this prevents it from rocking or leaning side to side like all cloth bags do. It has several handy external pockets and shock cord webbing on top as well. The quick release system is a one press release. Once latched it is very secure. So far the latch is very solid. You can transfer or remove it in 2 seconds, no straps or velcro to wrangle. I haven't yet had it in out in the rain so I won't comment on water resistance. I haven't found any cons yet, other than it is a little more expensive than some but as far as I can tell so far, the quality level more than justifies the price.

Me encantó el maletín, diseño, compartimentos, materiales, costuras. Encaja perfecto con el rack de la misma marca.El único pero que le pongo, es que no cabe una lap de 14 pulgadas (ni poniendola en diagonal). Para cualquier otro uso, ¡está de lujo!

At first I was annoyed that I would have to buy a specific rack to go with the pack, because I already had one that I'd been using for over a decade that was still in excellent shape. Once you get past that, you will love this system. I upgraded to this one from the other, smaller, Ibera rack pack because I was always fighting to make everything fit for my daily commute to and from work and would inevitably end up having to add a separate side pannier. I loved the idea of this one with the extra pannier space and expandable centre compartment and I'm so glad I bought it. It has all of the space that I need, perfectly compact, and I'm down to the one bag. It securely attaches and detaches in seconds - just be sure to wipe down the quick release after inclement rides to ensure dirt and mud don't clog it up.

Excelente producto caben perfecto los libros y tiene dentro una bolsa que se puede cerrar con ziper para que tus cosas no se salgan, también se la puedes quitar para tener más espacio

I commute every day by bicycle, and it's really practical to carry my lunch box in it. It goes very well with the IBERA seat post IB-RA11 that I just bought last week. It's almost perfect but the zippers. It works fine, but I don't think all IBERA's products have good quality zippers.

Vor der Rezension:OK, diese Marke bekommt man nicht so einfach. Klar, gut Qualität die nicht jeder bezahlen möchte.ABER - Amazon verkauft und Liefert diese Artikel … mit einem unverhältnismäßigem Aufschlag für Importgebühr und saftige Versandkosten. So gesehen stellt sich die Frage wozu dann Prime ?Aber auch an dieser Stelle ein großes Dankeschön an das orangegesichtige selbstherrliche Riesena***loch hinter der 'stupid line' daß uns das erst alles ermöglicht bzw. aufzwingt!Also erst einmal, da ist eine stinknormale Einkaufstasche, nur mit festem Boden und orangen Dingsbums zum auf den Gepäckträger aufklipsen (wie die Packtaschen auch).Verarbeitung sieht wie gewohnt von Ibera gut aus.Die Größe ist in Echt etwas klein - oder sieht jedenfalls so aus -, angegeben sind aber 16 Liter Volumen.Mal sehen beim nächsten Einkauf, verwöhnt bin ich von der Gepäcktasche IB-BA1, die sich als echtes Raumwunder entpuppt hat.Die eigentliche Tasche ist offen, kein Deckel, keine Klappe oder Lasche, kein Reißverschluß - nur 2 Tragegriffe und die nichtmal für die Schulter (außer vlt. für sehr schmale Leutchen).Umlaufend ist im Inneren Klettband für die mitgelieferte Einsatzbox/ -tasche, bei der das Gegenband außen umläuft.Diese Einsatztasche ist eigentlich nur eine isolierte Hülle für den Transport warmer oder kalter Sachen.Warum also nur 4 Sterne ?- Ich finde man hätte die Größe noch ein wenig mehr ausreizen können. Die Tragfähigkeit der Ibragepäckträger (bei mir IB-RA4) ist mit 25kg angegeben, vertragen aber doch mehr.- Eine Klappe/ Deckel und/ oder Schultergurt wären von Vorteil.- Hier hätte in meinen Augen ein Halteband für ein Rücklicht durchaus Sinn ergeben, was ich bei der IB-BA4 hingegen nicht verstehe (weil dieses Halteband dort auch gleichzeitig Tragegriff ist und somit kippt jedes Licht nach unten.Dennoch, die Produkte dieser Marke sind nicht eben günstig, dafür aber ist alles was ich bisher habe gut bis sehr gut Verarbeitet, sieht für meinen Geschmack sehr gut aus und ist zuverlässig und stabil.Wenn nun auch diese Tasche den ersten Eindruck bestätigt, wird sie empfohlen.
