As per the title, I'm I'm going to be carrying two electric bikes on a tow bar mounted carrier soon. As far as I'm aware, getting water into the electric components and the computer is a bad idea so I want to cover the bikes whilst in transit.
Anybody have any recommendations for a decent quality cover at an affordable price ?

I've never done that. What I did was take the batteries off and get a mate to make a 3d cover for the connector point. Works like a dream.

Any pics Alan ? What did you do about waterproofing the computers or the terminals they slit into ?

The first thing that springs to mind would be to use a large BBQ cover, that would fully cover the bike, and most have a pull-tie to secure in place.

Maybe a bit of Alan's idea plus something like this:

I didn't do anything about waterproofing the rest of the bike. It's designed to go off road so it should be able to handle rain & spray. I'll see if I can get some pics.

Thanks Alan, don't bother with pics then. Our bikes are not off roaders so won't be as waterproof as yours. I'll continue to look for a full cover.
