13. **Reconstruct the table:** Yes. The table is malformed and contains gibberish. The user states "if content is missing, complete it for me". The context is about hard shell trunks. The existing columns are Brand, Model, Capacity, Material, and a descriptive column. The gibberish needs to be replaced with a coherent "Features" or "Pros" column based on the partial text. The user's provided data (GIVI, Shad, Kemimoto, Coocase) seems mostly intact, except for the last column and the header row. I will fix the header and create a reasonable "Features" column based on the provided text snippets for each. The gibberish in the header row seems to be a complete mess.

The Ultimate E-Bike Upgrade
Adding a hard, lockable trunk to your Electric Bike is revolutionary; it converts the bike from a simple commuter and errand-runner to an all-rounder. These theft- and weather-proof boxes keep your stuff safe no matter whether you're on the highway or in a parking lot. This guide breaks through all the noise, delivers 5 of the best options, and dives right into everything you need to consider when looking for the perfect cargo partner-on-the-go on your e-bike exploration.
The Ideal E-Bike Platform
WHEN IT COMES TO A HIGH-QUALITY CARGO TOOL, SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION. Let's be honest: in a top-quality cargo solution, the base is as important as the cargo part. The best place to start is an Electric Bike that's built for utility and nothing more. Ideally, it'd be one with a great combination of performance, range, and power. And one that looks better than anything else along the way. If you weren't thinking about convenience before, this bike makes any destination possible. That's why we gave special attention to the get-outta-town factor when we designed this electric fat Bike. A long-lasting battery combined with many miles per charge means you can spend more time riding and less time charging (power outlet hogging). Sometimes everything just comes together. Run errands, enjoy life, or explore the world because The LE20 can provide infinite possibilities when you ride.
ENGWE LE20

- Latest Generation Anti-Skid Magnesium Alloy Wheels.
-
Integrated Lighting: A front and rear light can help keep you safe at night, and it also includes turn signals that make for a whole utility e-bike.
Top Hard Shell Trunk Options
While ENGWE is king when it comes to the e-bike platform, here are four other great hard shell trunks from brands you trust that, coupled with a good rear rack, make the perfect team. All of which have a slightly different mix of features and focus depending on what you need it for, and how much money you want to spend. By choosing one of these, you can rest assured that the product has a history of performance and dependability in the powersports and cycling world. These brands are well known for their durable designs as well as easy-to-mount systems and can be trusted by any e-bike rider in need of a ton more carrying capacity that will attach securely.

Construction and Security
Selecting the perfect trunk is more than the name on its brand; it's about knowing what materials ensure security and sustainability. The fabric build and weatherproofing is key. Your trunk is your e-bike’s safe and that thing has to withstand bumps as well as downpours. It’s important to take note of these things because they’re the subtle difference between a solid investment and an irritating buy. You definitely need a trunk with quality locking and stiff, tight rubber edges.
Material Deep Dive:
-
Polypropylene (PP): A favorite top choice for its great combination of flexibility and impact resistance. It will not break as cheap plastics do when in contact with the cold.
-
ABS Plastic: Most common plastic, easily affordable to make different shapes. But since thinned-out versions do have a tendency to fall apart, look for thicker-walled varieties that won't.
-
Aluminum: The high-end choice; it’s secure and has a no-apologies look. It’s heavier and more dentable, but it won’t shatter.
Key Security Features:
-
Locks: The key and lock cylinder should have a solid feel to them. A good lock will secure the lid *and* lock the trunk to its mounting plate.
-
Steel Reinforced Hinges: Look for strong, well-designed hinges that do not yield to prying.
Weatherproofing Checklist:
-
Lid Gasket: The most important feature for the watertight seal. Check inside the lid for a single, unbroken rubber gasket. This forms a seal, keeping out dust and water.
-
Overlapping Lid: The lid of a good-quality trunk will overlap the trunk, forming a natural channel to guide water away from the seam.
Racks and Mounting
The rack is the essential link between your trunk and your Electric Bike. An unstable, insecure connection is not only frustrating; it’s potentially unsafe. Compatibility is key. Before you even think of purchasing a single trunk, the type and maximum carrying load for your e-bike’s rear rack must be checked. What good is a trunk if you can't secure it? Non-proprietary designs can be flexible and proprietary systems can offer convenience.
Rack Compatibility Check Point
Your rack. Some simply do not suit the purpose and others just won't fit your rack.
-
Weight Limit: Your rack will have a weight limit printed or stamped on it (e.g., "Max 25 kg"). Don't exceed this with the total weight of your loaded box.
-
Rack Style: The most compatible racks are flat, tubular-style racks.
Types Of Mounting System:
-
Universal Mounting Plates: They have an assortment of brackets, bolts, and bars that clamp onto most standard e-bike racks. Pro Tip: You might have to drill holes in the base of the trunk to match up with the plate, so be ready for a bit of DIY. This is the low-cost way to go.
-
Proprietary Quick-Release Systems: There are brands like GIVI (Monolock/Monokey) and Shad that offer systems in which a specific plate is semi-permanently fixed to your rack, enabling the trunk to be clicked on/off within seconds. This is incredibly handy if you don’t want the trunk on your bike all the time.
Lifestyle Integration
Lastly, you want to compare how well the trunk will integrate into your lifestyle: that means you want to compare its size and shape so it can be added in easily with all your other stuff, as well as comparing all the extra features a trunk may come packed with. The right size is entirely dependent on your needs, but remember: Bigger isn’t always better. A bigger trunk also just means more weight and wind resistance, which may have a small impact on the way your e-bike feels to ride and how far the battery will take you. The key is finding the balance between what volume and what use are practical.
Picking Your Size:
-
Commuter (28-35 Liters): This is great for a laptop bag, change of clothes, and lunch.
-
All-Rounder (36-45 liters): The go-to middle ground for many. It usually can fit one full-face motorcycle helmet or a grocery bag.
-
Tourer/Heavy Hauler (46+ Liters): Meant for the serious cargo hauler: holds two helmets or a weekend's worth of gear.
Design and Aerodynamics:
- A trunk with rounded edges and a tapering shape will present less wind drag than a pure rectangular box. This can go a long way to preserve the battery range on longer, faster rides.
-
Pro Tip: It’s always best to put the heaviest items at the bottom of your trunk, packing from floor to roof — this keeps the center of gravity low and allows for more stable handling.
Extras to Watch For:
-
Integrated Passenger Backrest: A cushioned back support that attaches to the front or rear of the trunk, providing passengers with comfort.
-
Wired Brake Lights: A few top-end trunks can be wired into your e-bike's brake system for a super visible, bonus brake light.
-
Interior Cargo Net: An elastic net on the interior of the lid holds smaller items in place.
What is the most important thing when you buy a hard shell trunk?
Check that its mounting system works with your e-bike’s rear rack and that the rack is rated for the added weight of the trunk plus your cargo; this will be far and away the single most important consideration.
Does a trunk take away from my Electric Bike's battery range?
Yes, you will lose some range with any additional weight and aerodynamic drag. But for the vast majority of riders, the massively increased functionality and convenience far more than make up for this tiny dip in battery life.
Can I install a trunk myself?
Absolutely. The vast majority of trunks, universal mounting plate included, are consumer-installable with simple hand tools. Always read the manufacturer's instructions carefully for a great fit and safety.
The right hard shell trunk is an investment that turns your e-bike into a veritable utility vehicle.

Top Hard Shell Trunk Options
While ENGWE is king when it comes to the e-bike platform, here are four other great hard shell trunks from brands you trust that, coupled with a good rear rack, make the perfect team. All of which have a slightly different mix of features and focus depending on what you need it for, and how much money you want to spend. By choosing one of these, you can rest assured that the product has a history of performance and dependability in the powersports and cycling world. These brands are well known for their durable designs as well as easy-to-mount systems and can be trusted by any e-bike rider in need of a ton more carrying capacity that will attach securely.

Construction and Security
Selecting the perfect trunk is more than the name on its brand; it's about knowing what materials ensure security and sustainability. The fabric build and weatherproofing is key. Your trunk is your e-bike’s safe and that thing has to withstand bumps as well as downpours. It’s important to take note of these things because they’re the subtle difference between a solid investment and an irritating buy. You definitely need a trunk with quality locking and stiff, tight rubber edges.
Material Deep Dive:
-
Polypropylene (PP): A favorite top choice for its great combination of flexibility and impact resistance. It will not break as cheap plastics do when in contact with the cold.
-
ABS Plastic: Most common plastic, easily affordable to make different shapes. But since thinned-out versions do have a tendency to fall apart, look for thicker-walled varieties that won't.
-
Aluminum: The high-end choice; it’s secure and has a no-apologies look. It’s heavier and more dentable, but it won’t shatter.
Key Security Features:
-
Locks: The key and lock cylinder should have a solid feel to them. A good lock will secure the lid *and* lock the trunk to its mounting plate.
-
Steel Reinforced Hinges: Look for strong, well-designed hinges that do not yield to prying.
Weatherproofing Checklist:
-
Lid Gasket: The most important feature for the watertight seal. Check inside the lid for a single, unbroken rubber gasket. This forms a seal, keeping out dust and water.
-
Overlapping Lid: The lid of a good-quality trunk will overlap the trunk, forming a natural channel to guide water away from the seam.
Racks and Mounting
The rack is the essential link between your trunk and your Electric Bike. An unstable, insecure connection is not only frustrating; it’s potentially unsafe. Compatibility is key. Before you even think of purchasing a single trunk, the type and maximum carrying load for your e-bike’s rear rack must be checked. What good is a trunk if you can't secure it? Non-proprietary designs can be flexible and proprietary systems can offer convenience.
Rack Compatibility Check Point
Your rack. Some simply do not suit the purpose and others just won't fit your rack.
-
Weight Limit: Your rack will have a weight limit printed or stamped on it (e.g., "Max 25 kg"). Don't exceed this with the total weight of your loaded box.
-
Rack Style: The most compatible racks are flat, tubular-style racks.
Types Of Mounting System:
-
Universal Mounting Plates: They have an assortment of brackets, bolts, and bars that clamp onto most standard e-bike racks. Pro Tip: You might have to drill holes in the base of the trunk to match up with the plate, so be ready for a bit of DIY. This is the low-cost way to go.
-
Proprietary Quick-Release Systems: There are brands like GIVI (Monolock/Monokey) and Shad that offer systems in which a specific plate is semi-permanently fixed to your rack, enabling the trunk to be clicked on/off within seconds. This is incredibly handy if you don’t want the trunk on your bike all the time.
Lifestyle Integration
Lastly, you want to compare how well the trunk will integrate into your lifestyle: that means you want to compare its size and shape so it can be added in easily with all your other stuff, as well as comparing all the extra features a trunk may come packed with. The right size is entirely dependent on your needs, but remember: Bigger isn’t always better. A bigger trunk also just means more weight and wind resistance, which may have a small impact on the way your e-bike feels to ride and how far the battery will take you. The key is finding the balance between what volume and what use are practical.
Picking Your Size:
-
Commuter (28-35 Liters): This is great for a laptop bag, change of clothes, and lunch.
-
All-Rounder (36-45 liters): The go-to middle ground for many. It usually can fit one full-face motorcycle helmet or a grocery bag.
-
Tourer/Heavy Hauler (46+ Liters): Meant for the serious cargo hauler: holds two helmets or a weekend's worth of gear.
Design and Aerodynamics:
- A trunk with rounded edges and a tapering shape will present less wind drag than a pure rectangular box. This can go a long way to preserve the battery range on longer, faster rides.
-
Pro Tip: It’s always best to put the heaviest items at the bottom of your trunk, packing from floor to roof — this keeps the center of gravity low and allows for more stable handling.
Extras to Watch For:
-
Integrated Passenger Backrest: A cushioned back support that attaches to the front or rear of the trunk, providing passengers with comfort.
-
Wired Brake Lights: A few top-end trunks can be wired into your e-bike's brake system for a super visible, bonus brake light.
-
Interior Cargo Net: An elastic net on the interior of the lid holds smaller items in place.
What is the most important thing when you buy a hard shell trunk?
Check that its mounting system works with your e-bike’s rear rack and that the rack is rated for the added weight of the trunk plus your cargo; this will be far and away the single most important consideration.
Does a trunk take away from my Electric Bike's battery range?
Yes, you will lose some range with any additional weight and aerodynamic drag. But for the vast majority of riders, the massively increased functionality and convenience far more than make up for this tiny dip in battery life.
Can I install a trunk myself?
Absolutely. The vast majority of trunks, universal mounting plate included, are consumer-installable with simple hand tools. Always read the manufacturer's instructions carefully for a great fit and safety.
The right hard shell trunk is an investment that turns your e-bike into a veritable utility vehicle.

Yes, you will lose some range with any additional weight and aerodynamic drag. But for the vast majority of riders, the massively increased functionality and convenience far more than make up for this tiny dip in battery life.
Can I install a trunk myself?
Absolutely. The vast majority of trunks, universal mounting plate included, are consumer-installable with simple hand tools. Always read the manufacturer's instructions carefully for a great fit and safety.
The right hard shell trunk is an investment that turns your e-bike into a veritable utility vehicle.

The Ultimate E-Bike Upgrade
Adding a hard, lockable trunk to your Electric Bike is revolutionary; it converts the bike from a simple commuter and errand-runner to an all-rounder. These theft- and weather-proof boxes keep your stuff safe no matter whether you're on the highway or in a parking lot. This guide breaks through all the noise, delivers 5 of the best options, and dives right into everything you need to consider when looking for the perfect cargo partner-on-the-go on your e-bike exploration.
The Ideal E-Bike Platform
WHEN IT COMES TO A HIGH-QUALITY CARGO TOOL, SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION. Let's be honest: in a top-quality cargo solution, the base is as important as the cargo part. The best place to start is an Electric Bike that's built for utility and nothing more. Ideally, it'd be one with a great combination of performance, range, and power. And one that looks better than anything else along the way. If you weren't thinking about convenience before, this bike makes any destination possible. That's why we gave special attention to the get-outta-town factor when we designed this electric fat Bike. A long-lasting battery combined with many miles per charge means you can spend more time riding and less time charging (power outlet hogging). Sometimes everything just comes together. Run errands, enjoy life, or explore the world because The LE20 can provide infinite possibilities when you ride.

Construction and Security
Selecting the perfect trunk is more than the name on its brand; it's about knowing what materials ensure security and sustainability. The fabric build and weatherproofing is key. Your trunk is your e-bike’s safe and that thing has to withstand bumps as well as downpours. It’s important to take note of these things because they’re the subtle difference between a solid investment and an irritating buy. You definitely need a trunk with quality locking and stiff, tight rubber edges.
Material Deep Dive:
-
Polypropylene (PP): A favorite top choice for its great combination of flexibility and impact resistance. It will not break as cheap plastics do when in contact with the cold.
-
ABS Plastic: Most common plastic, easily affordable to make different shapes. But since thinned-out versions do have a tendency to fall apart, look for thicker-walled varieties that won't.
-
Aluminum: The high-end choice; it’s secure and has a no-apologies look. It’s heavier and more dentable, but it won’t shatter.
Key Security Features:
-
Locks: The key and lock cylinder should have a solid feel to them. A good lock will secure the lid *and* lock the trunk to its mounting plate.
-
Steel Reinforced Hinges: Look for strong, well-designed hinges that do not yield to prying.
Weatherproofing Checklist:
-
Lid Gasket: The most important feature for the watertight seal. Check inside the lid for a single, unbroken rubber gasket. This forms a seal, keeping out dust and water.
-
Overlapping Lid: The lid of a good-quality trunk will overlap the trunk, forming a natural channel to guide water away from the seam.
Racks and Mounting
The rack is the essential link between your trunk and your Electric Bike. An unstable, insecure connection is not only frustrating; it’s potentially unsafe. Compatibility is key. Before you even think of purchasing a single trunk, the type and maximum carrying load for your e-bike’s rear rack must be checked. What good is a trunk if you can't secure it? Non-proprietary designs can be flexible and proprietary systems can offer convenience.
Rack Compatibility Check Point
Your rack. Some simply do not suit the purpose and others just won't fit your rack.
-
Weight Limit: Your rack will have a weight limit printed or stamped on it (e.g., "Max 25 kg"). Don't exceed this with the total weight of your loaded box.
-
Rack Style: The most compatible racks are flat, tubular-style racks.
Types Of Mounting System:
-
Universal Mounting Plates: They have an assortment of brackets, bolts, and bars that clamp onto most standard e-bike racks. Pro Tip: You might have to drill holes in the base of the trunk to match up with the plate, so be ready for a bit of DIY. This is the low-cost way to go.
-
Proprietary Quick-Release Systems: There are brands like GIVI (Monolock/Monokey) and Shad that offer systems in which a specific plate is semi-permanently fixed to your rack, enabling the trunk to be clicked on/off within seconds. This is incredibly handy if you don’t want the trunk on your bike all the time.
Lifestyle Integration
Lastly, you want to compare how well the trunk will integrate into your lifestyle: that means you want to compare its size and shape so it can be added in easily with all your other stuff, as well as comparing all the extra features a trunk may come packed with. The right size is entirely dependent on your needs, but remember: Bigger isn’t always better. A bigger trunk also just means more weight and wind resistance, which may have a small impact on the way your e-bike feels to ride and how far the battery will take you. The key is finding the balance between what volume and what use are practical.
Picking Your Size:
-
Commuter (28-35 Liters): This is great for a laptop bag, change of clothes, and lunch.
-
All-Rounder (36-45 liters): The go-to middle ground for many. It usually can fit one full-face motorcycle helmet or a grocery bag.
-
Tourer/Heavy Hauler (46+ Liters): Meant for the serious cargo hauler: holds two helmets or a weekend's worth of gear.
Design and Aerodynamics:
- A trunk with rounded edges and a tapering shape will present less wind drag than a pure rectangular box. This can go a long way to preserve the battery range on longer, faster rides.
-
Pro Tip: It’s always best to put the heaviest items at the bottom of your trunk, packing from floor to roof — this keeps the center of gravity low and allows for more stable handling.
Extras to Watch For:
-
Integrated Passenger Backrest: A cushioned back support that attaches to the front or rear of the trunk, providing passengers with comfort.
-
Wired Brake Lights: A few top-end trunks can be wired into your e-bike's brake system for a super visible, bonus brake light.
-
Interior Cargo Net: An elastic net on the interior of the lid holds smaller items in place.
