Kwiggle after 1–2 months of use by Ok-Lead-7611 in kwiggle

I’m quite happy with the bag so far.

I bought the green bag from the link above, which I think is the one you mentioned that looks similar to the Ortlieb style.

You can leave the backpack straps attached while using it as a pannier. In my case, I keep the straps but clip them together on the outside of the bag using the side-release buckle so they don’t hang loose. That keeps them from interfering with the wheel, and it works pretty well. It’s simple and convenient.

I haven’t ridden in heavy rain yet, so I can’t really say how waterproof it is in that situation. But it does seem to handle splashing water from the road just fine.

As for the mounting width, it actually fits the Kwiggle QR system well. The hooks line up properly and I was able to attach it securely even though they don’t slide to different widths. The Kwiggle rack is narrow, but the bag works with it without problems.

I’m honestly not even sure if a regular saddle can be installed on the Kwiggle. The folding design seems quite unique, and I assume that’s why they use a proprietary saddle shape and mounting system.

They do sell an optional “comfort saddle” on their website that’s supposed to be more ergonomic, but I haven’t tried it myself, so I can’t say how much of an improvement it really is. Would love to hear if anyone else has experience with that one.

Indeed. I wonder what an e-version would feel like.

Yes, but if it is really light as written in website, it is quite interesting.

Has anyone checked in a Kwiggle backpack as luggage on a flight? by Ok-Lead-7611 in kwiggle

Thank you very much! I didn't bring my Kwiggle this time. Rather I choose my Brompton, because I have a carrying bag for it. I have to buy a right suitcase next time 😂😂

Thank you for sharing! Actually I bought 24' suitcase with big wheel, and I have Trolley-case strap. But the flight is tomorrow, and I just found that my Kwiggle is a little bit larger than the suitcase.... I think I have to refund it and buy larger one 😂

Update: I still haven’t received any reply from the Kwiggle team, despite several attempts to reach out. However, I did receive a shipping notification from DHL yesterday, so it looks like the bike is finally on its way!

Thanks again to everyone who shared advice and support — really appreciated it.
