Waterproof bike cover

[Knuckle dragger]

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced hardy cover for the boss ebike?

 

[Simon Meadwell]

We have a fiamma one has lasted six years. They dont get a good press on here but ours is ok.

Not a recommendation but stay away from the Thule ones. We bought allegedly heavy duty version one for 2 -3 bikes... far too tight really for our two folders and plastic sleeve for red/white Chevron board perished and split already. Only had it six months. Rubbish

I bought one from Halfords which lasted ok.
We also have a Fiama one which we used over the top when carrying bikes on our bike rack. It had a few holes in it, but was still useful as it had a pocket to carry a warning triangle

Taylor Made.

Very heavy duty, and waterproof. They do different sizes to allow for electric or standard bikes, and different design depending on whether it is for a tow bar mounted rack or mounted on the back wall/door type rack.

A bit more expensive (£70 from memory) but streets ahead of the Fiamma ones in quality.

Very happy with ours. Can't recommend them highly enough.

We bought a bike tent on to use on site, from Halfords a couple of years ago and its been exellent,however for double protection I have found it pays to also use the bike cover I use for travelling due to condensation. I also double up with a lightweight motorbike cover I got form IOM a few years ago when travelling.

After years of rubbish from Fiamma and the like, we followed some great advice on here and invested in a Hindermann 2 Ebike cover. Made from proper stuff, waterproof and with sturdy wrap around straps. It’s easy to put on and completely covers the bikes.

Told you so bad press for Fiamma !
Still using mine after six years though.

Can be made to your own specifications (colour and size/shape) and repaired cheaply if damaged. Ours was slit with a knife in France, scum bag looking to nick a bike. Plenty of straps as well.

Just to put some meat on my earlier comment. My first Fiamma lasted from Lancashire to Millau, which was about a week, before it came apart at the seams. It’s replacement lasted until Hilton Park Services, so about 2 hours and 90 miles. It’s replacement was slashed at Gravelines when somebody tried to nick our bikes. I patched this one up with gaffa tape and pretty soon there was more gaffa tape than fabric. Just my experience

I bought a cheap Beeway cover on Amazon (£14?). It’s lasted for 4 years and still going strong on an ebike on the back of the PVC.

Just my experience six years and counting and still going strong.
