Riding electric vehicles in the rain, what are your experiences?

3 years ago by FartsWithAnAccent to c/micromobility

Any thoughts or suggestions? I am new to riding and the water resistance of my ENGWE EP-2 Pro is questionable. Am I worrying too much?

I can't speak to your ride, but I have no hesitation riding my ebike in the rain. I've got a Shimano mid drive designed for EMTBs, if it can handle muddy MTB trails a little rain isn't going to hurt it

Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!

"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.

micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
