Bottle Cages and Holders for Electric Bikes

Bottle cages are indispensable accessories for electric bikes, securely holding hydration within easy reach for cyclists.

These lightweight, durable holders ensure convenient access to water or energy drinks during rides, promoting proper hydration for optimal performance. Their versatile designs accommodate various bottle sizes and shapes, providing a snug fit and minimising rattling on uneven terrains. Mounted on the bike frame, they optimise space and leave handlebars free, allowing an unobstructed riding experience.

Bottle cages may seem like a small detail, but they make a big difference in day-to-day comfort on an electric bike. Having a securely mounted bottle within easy reach means you can stay hydrated without needing to stop or rummage through a backpack. This is especially useful on longer commutes or weekend rides, where keeping your water accessible helps you maintain energy and ride more comfortably.

With materials ranging from aluminium to carbon fibre, bottle cages balance weight, durability, and aesthetics, complementing the bike's overall look. Practical and essential, they're a small yet crucial accessory enhancing the comfort and efficiency of cycling adventures.

They’re also a practical addition to the overall setup of an e-bike. With many electric bikes using frame-mounted batteries, space can sometimes be limited, so low-profile or side-entry bottle cages are particularly handy. These designs make it easier to slide a bottle in and out without clashing with the battery or frame. A good frame mounted bottle cage helps you make the most of every ride, whether you're heading into the hills, commuting through town, or simply enjoying a leisurely cruise. It’s a small upgrade that adds noticeable convenience and helps you stay focused on the ride rather than the kit.

Bottle cages allow you to carry all important drinking bottles whilst on the move. For some Haibike models that feature the MRS rail, there's a special bottle kit we offer; other models may require a bracket. If you don't have bottle cage mounts, then view the available brackets for mounting a bottle cage to the back of the saddle or handlebars.

With most bicycle accessory manufacturers working to standardise components so that almost everything is compatible, almost all bottle cages will fit all bikes and only a very small number of bikes are not compatible with any common bottle cage. The only exceptions are where bikes have proprietary accessory attachments like the Haibike MRS system, where a small adapter component is needed.

The best place to mount a bottle cage is anywhere its both safe and convenient to reach it. On most bikes this will be on the downtube however other mounting solutions are available, such as those which mount under the seat behind the rider, or directly onto the handlebars.

There are lots of materials used in the manufacture of bottle cages however most are made from one of several forms of plastics. There are also light weight alloy versions which offer the greatest longevity or for those who are really conscious of weight, carbon fiber.

Yes, most e-bikes have at least one set of mounting bosses for a bottle cage. Even if space is tight due to the battery placement, there are side-entry cages designed specifically for compact frames.

Side-entry or low-profile cages are often ideal because they allow you to easily slide the bottle in and out without clashing with the battery. Standard top-entry cages work well on larger frames with more clearance.

Most cages are designed around standard cycling bottles (typically 500–750ml). Flexible or adjustable cages can handle a wider range of shapes, including insulated bottles.

Not at all. If your frame has mounting bolts, installation is as simple as lining up the cage and tightening two screws. For frames without mounts, there are adapter solutions like clamp-on brackets.

Definitely. Modern alloy, composite, and even carbon cages are surprisingly tough. Since a water bottle is relatively light, strength isn’t usually an issue—as long as the cage is well made.

You still have options. You can mount a cage on the handlebars, back of the saddle, rear rack, or use strap-on adapters. These alternatives work well for smaller frames or step-through e-bikes.

Absolutely. Having water within easy reach makes longer rides and commutes far more comfortable. It’s a small, inexpensive accessory that adds genuine convenience and helps keep you hydrated without breaking your rhythm.
