We really enjoyed using the 3in1 bike bag from SevenRivers during the test. Assembly is child’s play and can be carried out by anyone. With this pannier, you are perfectly equipped for any situation and can enjoy all the freedom you need when cycling. The high-quality 600d TPU material not only looks good thanks to its fabric look. It is also 100% waterproof and can be easily cleaned with a sponge. Thanks to the individual adjustability of the Smart Connect system and the bike bag, it fits almost any luggage carrier (including e-bikes). Even on bumpy rides, the bag stays firmly attached to the carrier.
The spacious SevenRivers 3in1 bike bag offers 24 liters of space. It can easily fit a laptop, folders and shopping. The bag also has a front compartment and a bottle net. The high-quality materials, pleasant carrying comfort, good functionality and well thought-out safety convinced us in the practical test.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good performance in the mid-price segment | 80 points |
| Rating cut | 4.7 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 85 points |
| Total | 83 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. One common criticism is that the claws for attaching to the bike rack do not open under the weight of the bike bag alone. You have to apply counter-pressure with your second hand. Many customers like the fact that the pannier offers enough space. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that there was enough space and that the assembly was unusual at first. It is easier if you use both hands.
Prices of up to € 179 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €55. The 3in1 bike bag from SevenRivers is therefore currently in the mid-price segment with a price of € 69.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performanceratio isgood.
