This is why I love Reddit. So so incredibly helpful. Thank you for taking the time! BTW, I’ve seen some people mount the radar to the seat itself:

Was thinking about getting that as I have very little faith in that rubber band :)
I have carbon fiber and generally do 2000-5000 feet of climbing per ride so want to try to get something pretty secure (for bag) as the bouncing around will drive me crazy.
Man I love that radar, great move. The mount was separate, and that mount is awesome. I have attached the link below.

With a traditional light, I just used the "rubber band mount" on the non moving lower section of the dropper post. The Varia needs to have a clear line of sight past the rear tire, and I couldn't mount it in the spot I'd typically use. So I went for an under seat mount like the above. ... I actually ordered a different one, and the wrong Garmin mount to GoPro style adapter (both the underseat and Garmin mount were 3 blade with thread) and had to do a lot of Dremel work to get it to function properly. ... But end result is it's now mounted to the seat rails, and I have a fully functional Varia and dropper post that don't interfere with each other.
Yep, it's an e-bike. I was back and forth on if I just wanted a gravel or wanted the pedal assist. I'm super happy that I got the e-bike. I exhausted the battery yesterday on my first ride (was using Turbo a ton lol) and it's great to ride without the assist too.
The bike is 29.7 lbs.
The mount is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NTZ6HWK/ I have it on my road bike too, so it's great to just move the light from one bike to the other.

Here is what I use. It bolts to your saddle rails.
This has worked out really well for me.
