he R&B AED Pannier is the industry standard for bike medics who require fast access to life-saving defibrillators while navigating crowds and rugged terrain. Designed by active EMS bike patrol instructors, this specialized pannier ensures your Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is protected, secure, and instantly deployable when seconds count. Key Features Universal AED Fit: Spacious main compartment (14” H x 34” circumference) accommodates practically every AED model on the market. Right-Side Mounting: Specifically designed as a right-side pannier to protect the AED when the bike is laid down on its kickstand (which is typically on the left). High-Visibility Identification: Features white 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective trim and a Star of Life symbol for immediate recognition in low-light conditions. Rapid Attachment System: Utilizes inverted J-hooks and a bungee S-hook for quick installation and removal from standard heavy-duty bike racks. Rugged Construction: Built from 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon with a reinforced vinyl back for durability and easy cleaning. Weather Protection: Self-repairing #10 YKK zippers protected by a storm flap keep moisture and dirt away from sensitive electronics. Why It Matters Bicycle response teams are often the first on the scene at crowded events or congested urban areas. Standard saddlebags lack the structure and padding necessary to protect expensive medical electronics. This pannier offers a dedicated "safe zone" for your AED, ensuring it survives the ride and functions perfectly upon arrival. How to Use Mount the pannier to the right side of your rear bicycle rack using the J-hooks and secure the bottom bungee. Insert your AED into the main padded compartment. Use the four clear vinyl pockets on the interior flap to store prep razors, electrode pads, or gloves. In an emergency, unzip the storm flap for immediate access to the device. Technical Overview The pannier features a quick-release strap (#1312) that snaps onto the bag and attaches to the bike frame for additional stability during high-speed riding. The mounting system is compatible with most heavy-duty rear racks.
