I purchased my E-bike as a utilitarian vehicle to save some fuel and driving costs, which is really paying off now that fuel is extremely high. I originally purchased a trunk bag, with fold down side bags. The bag did not hold up and it was difficult fitting everything inside the side bags. Then I saw this, and bought it (finally). Now, I'm able to transport most anything I need on a daily basis, like groceries, laundry, etc. These side baskets are so awesome, I can't even describe how happy I am with them. I just came from the store and literally just dropped my grocery bags inside (you can fit quite a lot, like two full brown grocery bags). This made for a perfectly easy trip to the store, with no Brandon gas. If you want to use your bike in place of a car, these are what you want. They seem very sturdy and can hold a good amount of weight. I'll post an update later, because I'll be using these a lot. Highly recommended.
