The Trail-Proof Way to Carry on an E-Bike
Waist packs clash with hip belts and saddle movement. A chest holster keeps your pistol high, centered, and clear of pedals and packs.
Trail advantages
Zero hip interference: rides above your hydration belt & frame bag.
Stable on rough terrain: dual-strap design stops flop while climbing or descending.
Breathes on hot days: mesh + padding = less sweat, more miles.
Suggested loadout
Pistol holster: Glock 19 / P365 / Shield (fits all).
Mag pouch: one spare magazine at 9–10 o’clock on the rig.
CTA
Go farther with gear that stays put. Get the TACDEFNEX chest holster for pistols for your next ride or trek.
Fit tips for riders
Set holster slightly higher than for hiking—clears the bars on full turns.
Loosen one notch before long climbs; snug back down for descents.
