Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Pedal-Mate be locked securely to the bike?

That depends on the mounting system used. Our Quick-Lock2.1 and Quick-Lock2.2 bags can be secured directly to the luggage rack using the optional QL2-Lock. The lock is attached to the upper rail of the mounting system and reliably secures the bag to the bike. However, the bag itself is not locked.

With Quick-Lock3.1, locking the bag is not possible.

To the QL2-Lock

What carrying options does the Pedal-Mate offer?

Even off the bike, the Pedal-Mate offers high carrying comfort. The adjustable, padded shoulder strap rests comfortably and distributes weight evenly. This allows the bag to be carried comfortably even on longer routes, whether on the way to the office, shopping or traveling.

How is the the Pedal-Mate mounted on the luggage rack?

With ORTLIEB’s Quick-Lock mounting systems, you can easily attach the bag to the luggage rack with one hand. Removing it is just as easy. You’ll find the exact mechanism for each Quick-Lock system on our overview page.
