ebike rear rack for panniers or back pack for commute

[timboo]

Hello, just joined the forum so only just navigating about. Quick query, having purchased an ebike Carrera Crossfire, its taken me a year to stump up the will to commute (Plymouth area which is very hilly for Southern softies) I now need to invest in a rear (or front) rack to hold by commuting back pack. I notice that the rear mount are much wider apart on the bike, so a standard (affordable) rack doesnt fit. Any suggestions on economical options? Thank you in advance for reading and even more gratitude for any replies.

If the drop outs are 135mm you should be able to fit a rear disc brake rack without too many issues, I have done so on two 700c bikes. One a Norco and the other a Boardman.
If the carrying weight is light then a front will be ok.

I have a Topeak rear rack which is non ebike specific. I have discs but opted for the non disc version which fits just fine. Can't see any reason for the disc version, it just sticks out a bit more.
