Alternative bottle cage for range extender?

[youngoldbloke]

I have 2 bikes with X35 motors. But only one Mahle range extender. I am trying to find an alternative to the ugly overpriced Mahle bottle holder to fit to the second bike so that I do not have to swap the OE holder between bikes. Has anyone found anything suitable?

I saw on another forum that you ended up using the Blackburn Outpost?

How has it been?

My ebike places the Extender under the downtube and I wanted to use the Blackburn also. Though, i wish I could easily remove the cage without have to unscrew the bolts.

Thanks!

It works really well. The extender battery is held very firmly. As I posted on the other forum you need longer straps (400x25 mm) than those supplied with the Blackburn Outpost.

I've got a spare original Mahle bottle holder if you're interested?

Thanks, but I much prefer the Blackburn Outpost. I now use them on both my e-bikes. IMO the Mahle cage is not very attractive - I would never buy an actual bottle cage that looked like it!
