    Is there a cover for the battery connections when battery is not installed?

    Thanks for the link. The pics are helpful. The pics show that my Road-E is a side release as opposed to Top release (eg, I turn the key and pull the battery towards me (as opposed to lifting it up). The specs at https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/road-eplus-1-pro state that "Features...

    Is there a cover for the battery connections when battery is not installed?

    Please can you clarify, is the Road-E EnergyPak considered 'top release' or 'side release'? The specs state that it is 'side release'

    Hi from Vancouver BC, Canada

    OH NO! Sorry to hear about the bike and the scratches! There was a big gash on my bike when I bought it from the store, but it was the only one left and people were wanting to test drive it so I bought it. :) Still looking forward to looking at your pics though!

    Hi from Vancouver BC, Canada

    Thanks, @Mtl_Biker! I haven't been able to ride it that much (under 30 miles, although I think about riding all the time! Hills don't exist with that bike. :) I was also considering getting a Trek CrossRip+ (not available in Canada), a Trek SuperCommuter+ 7, and a Specialized Turbo Vado 5...

    2019 Road-E+ (S) | Water cage mount

    On the small frame of the Road-E, it doesn't appear that you can mount water bottles or any of those Giant frame bag (I noticed another chap here posted a pic of his Road-E that seemed to have the frame bag. Not a deal breaker at all for me though, I'm so far loving this bike!

    2019 Road-E+ (S) | Water cage mount

    Thanks again for the info! There isn't any way the water bottles will fit in the rear with my current set up. So I'll need to either use the panniers or maybe get a different trunk.

    2019 Road-E+ (S) | Water cage mount

    Thanks for the reply and useful information! I checked out the VeloChampion solution- there appears to be a few negative reviews (water bottles keep popping out over bumps due to the unit becoming loose. Have you experienced this problem? I use my old axiom trunk bag on the rack. Does the...

    2019 Road-E+ (S) | Water cage mount

    Hi all! Picked up a new 2019 Road-E+ last week for commuting purposes. It's a small and a water cage mount doesn't fit on the frame or the handle bars. Any recommendations? I'm thinking of getting a Topeak Tri-Backup Pro V that attaches to the saddle. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
