I have been researching this for some time as I don't want to buy a cover only to have it rip apart going down the road. There are lots and lots of light weight storage covers, but only a handful of Transport rated covers. The criteria I am working with.

Bike _ Lectric XP 3.0 step through. 45" High, 67" long, 29" wide at handlebars (14" wide at carry basket behind seat).
Bike Rack - Swagman E-Spec rated for RV use on rear of 5th wheel.

From discussions and reviews I want at least 600D fabric and water proof, not water resistant.

Previously several folks recommended Formosa. They have 600D fabric, but only water resistant https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WENDU...ff6-4cee-99b4-64899dd682ef&pd_rd_plhdr=t&th=1 I don't need the transparent inserts and the bike on the back of the RV will not cover the tail lights. I prefer a solid cover so folks cant see the bike

The next recommended one was from Team Obsidian https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PBXRJ49/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A3L4KANMNT6NVX&th=1 but the height for the Large single bike is only 44". I want enough height to wrap under the bike on the rack and not have the bottom open to spray. the next size up is 46" high. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PBXP7VZ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A3L4KANMNT6NVX&th=1

Then I ran across a HD 800D water proof fabric off brand - Faireach https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DHV3Z4VL/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=AMDDFHK79JBQ9&psc=1 It has good reviews and the size requirements are good. However other than what Amazon is showing I can't find any other sources for information.

I plan to use extra strapping and possibility a net to contain the cover for flapping.

So for those in the know what are your thoughts? Are there others I should consider? Please remember waterproof and at least 600D.

Thanks in advance
Keith

This is just a thought, but if you put the handlebars down and taped them to the frame with silicone tape (which only sticks to itself) you could get a porch furniture cover, which is very heavy duty and you would have much less windage. I've had a cart in my yard for 2 years covered with one of these and it's been through blizzards and gales and is holding up fine. There are a lot of different types on Amazon. It might be worth the experiment.

my bike going thru Dallas. Got to Tuscon, knocked off ice and rode bikes. No problems. Tried covers but got parachutes instead. Ebikes are built tough and can stand foul weather. I do cover the the displays and remove the seats and plug the seat tubes, remove the batteries and cover the down tube openings, where the batteries go, with neoprene wraps.
