Hailong mount plate compatibility.

How are people stopping the battery from wobbling and shaking about whilst riding especially off-road? Have you fitted rubber spacers between the battery mount and frame and/or added additional rivnuts or velcro straps. I would not be particularly happy having a 5 kilo battery held in by two 5mm bolts! I am tempted to do all 3 for complete peace of mind.

Many people drill the downtube and add an extra rivnut and/or use a velcro strap. I didn't want to drill my frames and found that one or two pedal toe straps hold the battery firmly:-
As I only ride on roads or gravel tracks/canal towpaths these work well, but I wouldn't want to rely on them (or velcro straps either) if jumping over logs! These are 490mm long and go around the battery and downtubes on my bikes OK. Best to measure before buying though.

I heard about a mounting plate from Grin Technologies and found one on Amazon UK.
It's called a Double Bob.
This bike is a road tourer, so I'm still not sure I will need the extra Jubilee clips that come with the 'Bob'.

Many aftermarket ebike battery packs don’t come with the best hardware for securing them to the bicycle frame. We’ve tackled this problem with a range of machined aluminum battery anchors that are much more versatile, from the popular double and triple bob’s to more specific solutions for things...
I needed an adaptor on two of my bikes as the bottle cage mounts were too close to the seat tube. At first I contemplated buying one of those, but being a skinflint I baulked at the price!I heard about a mounting plate from Grin Technologies and found one on Amazon UK.

I found a very similar one on Ali-express for £17.00, which came with the jubilee clips. I didn't need the clips in the end and decided to take a punt on the this for the second one:-
I left it in my ebay "favourites" and after a few days got an offer of £6.06 from the vendor. It took about 10 days to arrive from China. It mounts in a similar way and allows adjustment of up to around 50mm. You can use cable ties around the adaptor and downtube, but I didn't bother. Bear in mind that all of these adaptors only use the existing bottle mounts, so you are still relying on just two screws to hold the battery, but I've found that it is very firmly held if used in conjunction with one or two straps around the battery and downtube - like the toe straps mentioned previously. It does save having to drill for an extra riv-nut, as long as you are not into extreme off-roading.
