With a forum search on 'wobble,' there seemed to be little I saw relating to rear racks specifically. The bike I am riding has a rear-mounted battery, and it did not wobble before the conversion. I have noticed this problem before by simply loading a rear rack either unbalanced or over its design capacity. In this instance, it seems to be the mass of the rack + battery not being inline or parallel with the direction of the bike. To minimize the effect, moving toward parallel and balanced decreases the wobble produced. Maybe someone can explain the physics behind this?
Described as the 'death wobble' surely because the shaking, if undampened, increases with resonance until remaining vertical becomes more difficult. Any advice on mounting a rack methodically in the plane of the bike?
