Another E Bike question.

[ebikeerwidnes]

My Whyte ebike cranks squeak whenever water gets in and around them - haven't found it causing any more problems than that just yet.

If I was locking my ebike outside with the battery removed, I would tend to want to cover the bikes remaining terminals/connections so that they aren't exposed to the wet as they seem to be most likely part that may suffer

There is a Bosch cover I can get for mine

not cheap - but if I was in the habit of locking it up outside in bad weather I would get one just in case
although the manual says it is not needed

only time I have left it outside and it got wet I dried it with a tissue and it was fine!

I used to have one of those.

Me too. Still have mine.

So did I when I was a kid

got caught in the rain once and tried it out

it was like riding into a strong headwind all the time

the aero effects were awful - basically a huge air dam from my head to the handlebars and out to my shoulders

Fantastic with a tail wind.

My Switch Go conversion coped fine with a near-Biblical downpour in Wales last summer.
More than I did - I thought I was going to dissolve.
