7l on Roscoe7 in my review

My Roscoe7 has the bontrager MIK pannier rack and the 7l Roswheel pack is just what I was looking for. Easy on/off with Velcro straps, not ridiculously expensive, and, near as I can tell so far, durable. In the pic was trying to clearly display the size (on the bike for perspective). The 7l fits my needs, but others may want the 8l.Just picked up a folding bike lock which should fit in perfectly, along with phone / wallet / keys / etc. Awesome, I'm lovin it.

Pros
  • Perfect for what I needed on my ebike.
Cons
  • The design is not suitable for long-distance cycling

A little wide, but useful.

Got this to add alongside a pair of Ortieb Backrollers. The bag is too wide for a standard width Axiom rear rack, but alone it works well. It just won't work alongside panniers. Two side pockets are great for slim essentials, and the main compartment is useful. The shoulder strap is a nice add, making the bag a sort of sling bag. Not sure of its water resistance, though, and there is no rain cover included.

Pros
  • Easy to install. Very roomy interior. Perfect for my needs!
Cons
  • The bag's material is not durable and may wear and tear quickly

Perfect size. good for me

I looked at a couple bags at the local bike shop, and they looked like junk for the price. Bought this one, and for the price, it is great quality. And fits perfectly with a simple installation. Exactly what I was looking for.

Pros
  • ‎Rack trunk^shoulder strap
Cons
  • The bag may detach from the bike during a ride, causing safety concerns

Perfect size! on my review.

This bike bag works great and is a size that is not overbearing but functional. People comment on it how nice it is and that it looks great, not like hauling a big bag around.

Pros
  • Reflective striping for enhanced visibility during low-light conditions
Cons
  • The bag's branding may not appeal to all users

Outstanding bike bag

This bike bag stays put with a smart design where the velcro straps loop under the bike rack frame platform and back onto the pack. Want a sturdy, well designed, stay-in-place, roomy backpack? Buy this one! I’ve ridden hundreds of miles with packs that just didn’t cut it, either they didn’t remain stable, weren’t roomy, were a hassle to get on & off, etc. I’ve ridden plenty of miles with this pack and it hasn’t disappointed. Finally, a smart design!

Pros
  • ‎7 Liters
Cons
  • The bag does not include bonus accessories or features

Perfect for my needs

The pack is durable and well made. It is compact (no outside pockets) and fits well on my bike rack. I like the bungy straps on top. I keep my iPhone there when I ride so I can listen to music using blue tooth ear buds.I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Easy to clean with a damp cloth and can be dried quickly
Cons
  • The bag's design may make it bulky and inconvenient for daily use

Great Bag for Price

I love this bag, fits what I need it to fit. One of the zippers was not working properly and the seller replaced it without problem. I really like the customer service, and this is a great bag for the price. I love the zip out paniers, we go shopping and I open them and put our good in there. It's nice to not have to have a giant bag on the back of the bike all the time, but the extra storage option is great!

Pros
  • ‎2018
Cons
  • The bag's weight distribution may cause strain on one side of the bike frame

Just what my husband wanted

I got this for my husband for Christmas and he is super happy with it. His old one was floppy and didn't keep it's shape after a while. This one keeps it's shape and is just big enough to hold what he needs. Not big enough for a jacket or anything, but snack, water, bike repair kit. It's a good one.

Pros
  • Protects delicate items such as electronics with padded interiors
Cons
  • The bag's shape may cause it to topple over when not attached to a bike frame

Too small to be very useful

Has 2 side pockets and 2 top pockets, one on each side of the top flap. The pockets are of little use because of their small size. The main problem with the trunk bag is it's small size which limits is usefulness. Another thing, this trunk bag is not also a Pannier bag as the description in Best Buy would have you believe.

Pros
  • Bike Racks & Bags
Cons
  • The bag's price point may be too expensive for some users

Streamlined. Mid-sized volume.

I like it a lot. Holds what a need fora three-hour ride, but I have tubelesstires. I carry a third water bottle, too. That's my review!

Pros
  • Roomy main compartment perfect for commuting gear and groceries
Cons
  • The bag may not fit all bike handlebar materials

Has that feeling of quality

You can see it in the stitching, the way the zippers feel when opening/closing, the overall construction. This bag detaches in just a few seconds without having to bend over to look at the underside so you can undo the velcro straps, and re-attaches just as easily. If that doesn't sound like a big deal, look at the velcro locations on other bags. Someone who rides put some thought into the design. I'll be adding other bags in this same line. Bar bag and seat bag at minimum.

Pros
  • Spacious interior compartments allow for easy organization of your gear
Cons
  • The bag's design may make it difficult to use with a bike lock

Nice rack bag and good size.

Seems to be well made no issues after 10-12 rides, just the right size to hold a cable bike lock, an Omnipod insulin case, a phone and some small snacks. I wouldn't use the draw strings on the top for anything valuable though it did keep my bikes gloves held tight after driving with the bike on a rack top speed 50 mph.

Pros
  • Multiple compartments help keep contents separate and organized
Cons
  • The bag may be difficult to adjust during a ride

Good bag bad inferior zipper

Liked the bag size and ease to get it off and on bike rack with velcro straps. I had my bag for just slightly over a year. Just long enough to be out of warranty. My issue is that the zipper on the bag is not strong enough. Mine broke today and bag is now useless. I did not have to use the zipper very much so was surprised that it broke. Doubt that I will repurchase. Will look for something a little more durable. If you purchase be wary of the zipper. It is the weak spot in an otherwise good…

Pros
  • ‎Black
Cons
  • The bag's shape may not accommodate irregularly-shaped items

Strong and secure on rear rack

Well made and secures firmly to bike's rear rack and its is a convenient size. To give you and idea I regularly carry either 1) expanse book, water bottle, sunscreen. Or 2) single yoga block, mosquito repellant, wallet. Or 3) four beers, sandwiches and a small bluetooth speaker. I also carry a small bike pump in the side pocket for all of the above.

Pros
  • Nice sturdy bag
Cons
  • Nice bag. But zipper broke after 10 months. Will replace with another brand.

Beautiful, well-made, tiny.

Very well made, looks high quality, and so far the zippers have held up to a stuffed bag. This thing is SMALL. I imagined four two-liters stacked and it seemed small, only to find out what 8L truly is when seeing this in person. You can't fit much in this, but it looks amazing. I will likely buy a basket to swap out. While this is great for holding a Bluetooth speaker, wallet, keys, bike lock, etc, it's not something you can pack even the smallest picnic in. I would've loved a 16L bulky…

Pros
  • ‎One Size
Cons
  • The bag's width may be too narrow for bulky items

Great Bags for my opinion

I have a matching set of these Roswheel / Sahoo bags: handlebar, rear-rack trunk, and top-tube. They are all well designed, well made, and surprisingly inexpensive for the quality. And I personally really like the grey color.

Pros
  • ‎Roswheel Bike Co., Ltd.
Cons
  • The bag's color may fade over time with exposure to sunlight

Good fit & seems durable

I needed a "trunk" on my new e-bike, and this bag fit the bill perfectly. It is out of the way when I'm riding and holds everything I need for a day trip. Construction seems good, though I haven't had a chance to assess it over time.

Pros
  • ‎Cycling
Cons
  • The bag's exterior may show wear and tear easily

Great size and portable.

I ride a Rover by Rad Power which has a 4 inch fat tires. I wanted a small bag that can carry just what I needed on my rack in the event of a flat tire and still have a little room for extra stuff. I have a fat tire tub, tools, patches, pump, first aid kit, Gerber multi-tool and small micro fiber towel. Anyone who rides a fat tire bike knows how much space a fat tire tube can take which made me get this bag. I still have enough room for some food or taking my DJI Spark. If you park and lock…

Pros
  • Fixed securely with 4 durable Velcro straps, Easy mount and quick release. Fit most of road or mountain bikes' Racks
Cons
  • The bag is difficult to clean and maintain after extended use

Perfect Bag - my new review

It sits nicely on my rack, it is very secure with the 4 Velcro straps, lots of space in main compartment, enough pouches and pockets. The two side pockets are tight but OK for a wallet or cellphone. The reflector pocket on the back is good for my blinking tail light. Great for the price!

Pros
  • Good zippers-nice side pockets
Cons
  • No additional pockets or compartments for organization

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to fit onto carrier of a RadCity.

Seems to be fine and is working well. Price was good. The bag will fade in the sunlight and have some concerns about the zippers in the long run but am treating them gently. The name Roswheel is not on the bag.only the name SAHOO ?

Pros
  • Lightweight construction makes it easy to carry when not cycling
Cons
  • The bag's reflective features may deteriorate with exposure to sun and heat
