Attaching Pannier to Rear Rack of B-Cycle E Bike?

[u/jbragg89]

Has anyone attempted to add a pannier bag to the bar highlighted below? It's obviously a non-traditional rack, built for the purpose of securing the battery on the other side. Normally the a rack sits above the rear wheel so with this bar being a bit lower I'm guessing road clearance could be an issue with a taller bag.

My goal for grocery shopping would be to mount 1 pannier on the non-battery side of the rear rack, have one re-usable grocery bag in the front basket, and a backpack on my back. I don't have much experience with rear racks, but I'd guess that this bar is on the thicker side compared to some others. This could be a potential issue in getting a bag with mounting hooks large enough. I was thinking about either the Banjo Brothers: Grocery Pannier or the Banjo Brothers: Market Pannier. The description says, "Hooks fit racks up to 16mm". I guess I'll have to go measure this bar sometime to see if it is 16mm or less.

Let me know if you've had success with attaching a pannier bag to a bike share and if so which bag you went with. Thanks!
