Mudflaps for e bike

[Cube man]

I purchased a Cube Kathmandu recently. The mudguards are to short (as is usual with a lot of e bikes). Has anyone had experience of Fahrer mudflaps to extend the mudguards?

I had the same problem on a previous e-bike. I got given a piece of rubber sheet, stiff and about 6mm thick. I simply removed the original flap, used it as a template, made it longer, cut it out and used the old rivet holes with short stainless steel bolts and locknuts.
It did have a negative side when pushing (or riding) the bike up or down steps, it caught on each step. I had to shorten it to stop that.....annoying. But it still did the job well as it was still a lot longer and wider than the original.
I hope that helps you further.

If you look at photos of old bikes, they all had proper mudguards. Just why this fashion thing about cheap looking short mudguards came about baffles me.

Thanks Andy - Mat
I have knocked up my mark one using a Karndean floor tile With a flap shape cut out and attached using cable ties as per Fahrer instructions. It’s not the sexiest looking flap but if this works then the mark two will be something looking a bit better.

These guys are brilliant. Very high quality
I have the extra long ones on my winter road bike. Front and back. https://rawmudflap.uk/
