Yamaha Wabash RT Rack and Controller

I’m a new Wabash RT owner. I bicycle vacation tour and have spent quite a bit of time this month adding Planet Bike Cascadia ALX fenders and an Axiom Journey rack for panniers. If you plan to add a rack, I do not recommend using the small black triangular receiving mounts built into the Wabash frame. I had a bad experience using them with my prior Yamaha Civante. The bolts that the Wabash black triangular rack mounts receive are too small to handle the weight of loaded panniers. When I tried using the small black rack mounts on my Civante, the bolts into the black triangular mounts broke (sheered) off.

I would love to hear work around ideas from Wabash users who need a way to charge their phones from the Wabash battery. The lack of a charging port on the Wabash controller is very disappointing.

I also own a Giant bike that has a Yamaha motor and a very nice, full featured controller. Does anyone have experience putting a Giant controller on a Yamaha bike??
