What experience/recommendations do people have for mud guards for HT ebike. Their only purpose would be for commuting when raining. I would not be concerned with using off road and ideally hug the wheel and can be taken off without too much hassle.

I use the sks shockboard on the front and a crud race on the rear.
Both work well and can be taken off quickly.

I use the Topeak Defender series, have them on all 3 bikes. They just clip on and off.

One thing you have to watch is the fitting of the front ones as the top tube hole is much wider on an eBike.

Are any of them the xc1 style? they look nicer as they are closer to the wheel.

Hi Nolan,

Just google Topeak Defender mud guards, there are various styles.

You can fit the rear as close to the wheel as you want.

I use them on all my bikes, off and on road, they are very light and easy to attach and un-attach, just the caution above about the top tube hole to watch for.
