EVOC MTB Bike Rack Cover or Similar

With my new eBike, I am looking at a cover for when I am transporting the bike behind the car. My thinking is an EVOC MTB Bike Rack Cover, but reviews are thin on the ground, and well, other cheaper covers get a bad rap.

If you have experience with the Evoc or similar that you have found works for you please do comment.

Oh: A tail board is used, which has lights and the number plate showing so that aspect is ticked.

Personally I probably wouldn't cover the whole thing I would look at Fahrer's covers which they do for the motor, batteries (for cold weather really) and I believe a handlebar cover as well as maybe a battery port cover. In the end your bike is quite waterproof. Mine has been in some heavy downpours with zero issues. The covers get kind of loud and put a little extra strain on the rack as they act like a sail whereas on the bike it can sort of pass through a bit more easily.

Having slept on it, I have discarded the idea.
