BillH, I'm glad to see that rack from 2x2. How stable was that with your bike's kick stand? There are other "rear-mount" styles for ebikes, but they are too top-heavy if anything but level and firm ground. The Divnick auto-tilt carrier becomes the kick stand, so it locks the bike to the ground even on steep slopes.

RandallS, That "Sunday Bag" looks like it would work with our "3-Club Set" that includes the adjustable loft club that can be locked on all the lofts of a full set. You can see it on www.DivnickGolf.com/adjustable and the 3-Club set on https://divnickgolf.com/telescopic/3-club-set.html
On firm or even semi firm ground, no problem at all. On softer ground it will sink in a little and on really soft ground it will tip over. The kickstand on the Quietkat folder is very robust and has a wide shoe but when the ground is too soft the weight of the bike and clubs is just too much. All I do is seek out firmer ground if those conditions exist and it’s a non issue really.
The rack on the Quietkat can easily support weight of full set of clubs. I had him modify (2x2 cycles) the rack so as not to include the tail/brake light that is normally built in. I do get some tail wag with the bag of clubs sticking out the back but you get used to it fast. I like that 2x2 cycles rack is modular. Great company to deal with.
We are now live with the, "Auto-Pivot Golf Bag Carriers" that fit all ebikes. If you like golf and you like ebikes, not you can combine them and be a part of the golf industry's quest to speed up the game. www.DivnickGolf.com/ebikes
Yes, it would attach to that rack. You can see the installation instructions on www.divnickgolf.com/ebikes/instructions.html. The question is whether or not that rack is strong enough to handle the weight of a golf bag. The rack doesn't have any cross-bars on the sides...just the 2 mounting bars per side. So I would expect that you could flex it from side-to-side. A typical full bag of clubs using a carry bag is about 20 pounds. I would recommend an abbreviated set for that rack to try to get the weight down to 10 or 12 pounds. I personally carry only 5 clubs with one of them being the Adjustable loft club that replaces all the irons (www.divnickgolf.com/adjustable). So it would handle my bag easily.
Is that on a 26 inch bike? Most of the bikes being used for golf are 20", but we do have an extension kit for 26 inch bikes that is only $20 more.
Another consideration is that the ideal ebike for golf is a step-through. Otherwise, you have to be fairly athletic to swing your leg over the clubs on the back, or over the cross-bar between the seat and handlebars.

Here's how they do it at my course. The bag goes in front of the rider and rests on the handlebars. You could do it on a step thru bike. Of course it may increase the Q-factor a tad. Makes it feel like pedaling when you've wet your pants. No experience there, though. Just ancient memories of a misspent youth.
I've gotten this close >< to purchasing that Sun Mountain Finn Cycle. It's the perfect single rider solution.
Except it costs an arm and a leg (very expensive) and it doesn't provide any exercise. I love my ebike...didn't cost very much, gives me as much exercise as I want, hauls my clubs easily, can ride it to and from the course or haul it in my car, can also go on family rides, and is faster than a 4-tire cart or a Finn Cycle...which can only be used on a golf course. I think it is even more of a "perfect solution".

I usually ride to the range with 1 club on my Espin Sport and stick the head in my Topeak bag and all has been fine. Today, for whatever reason, the butt end of the club ended up on the ground as I drove. Thankfully, a motorist notified me of the issue and I ended up weaving the club through the top of the topeak and used the velcro handle to semi secure the club. Anybody got a 1 club carrier idea?

Might have to give the velcro a try. Shafts are graphite...
