Transporting laundry on the back of my ebike? (lemmy.zip)

My moped died yesterday, and that was my method of transporting my laundry to the laundromat. I just looked up the directions to the 'mat from my apartment, and it's actually only a 10 minute walk. But, I'm still new to having an ebike and nerding out about ways to transport (probably too much) stuff on it (I got panniers, etc.)

Anyone have experience biking an unwieldy laundry bag? As of now my plan is to bungee the fuck out of it to the rear rack and hope for the best, lol.

I don't have an ebike, but I do have a cargo bike with a pannier rack on the back. If your bike is set up with a rack like that, then I would recommend doing something like getting a mail crate or a milk crate and zip tieing that to the back rack. You could then bungee your laundry bag into that. I would have to see your actual frame configuration to see if that is feasible, but I could certainly do it on my Salsa Blackborow.
