yesterday, I was riding around during lunchtime and my 36v 12ah Silicone battery pack(30 lbs) flew off the rear rack @ about 15 mph..
It hit the street and tore up a stock battery bag. batts are scratched but ok.
I usually use a bungy cord or belt to help help hold pack. This time there was only the Velcro hooks and loops.
Given the poor suspension on my bike and the bumpy conditons, it just happened.
Do not trust velcro alone. that's the moral of the story. Use a belt, bungy cords etc.
fortunately, I was not in danger. but this is potentially dangerous.
