Touring by bike has come back into fashion, after a couple of decades where it was less hip than the flu. And with its return, touring has expanded in some exciting and original ways. One of those new turns on touring is doing it with an e-bike. In our review of the Apidura Expedition Charging Pack we will look at how this pack is designed to strap onto an e-bike and carry a spare battery or the charger.
The bag itself is made from a laminate material called Hexalon that is made to Apidura’s specs. The material is both waterproof and dustproof, making it perfect for carrying electronics. And because it features a dry-bag-style rolldown opening, it can securely carry both batteries and chargers that measure between 8.1 in. (20.5cm) and 11.8 in. (30cm) and are as tall as 2.8 in. (7cm). Total carrying capacity measures 1.6L (98 cu. in.).
The contents of the Apidura Expedition Charging Pack are protected with PU foam, better known as memory foam. Additionally, padded ribs run lengthwise along the Expedition Charging Pack both helping to give the bag shape and to insulate the bike frame from the bag’s contents—and vice versa. The bag attaches to the frame via a single Velcro strap that is silicone-coated to keep it from moving while riding.
Because an e-bike frame’s dimensions will determine whether or not a given bag fits, Apidura created a remarkable sizing tool in which a potential buyer takes or uploads a photo of their e-bike and it will show which bags fit. With a price below $100, this pack does an impressive job of balancing cost versus safely carrying an e-bike battery and/or charger.
