Many electric bikes are designed to be waterproof or water-resistant, but this varies depending on the model. Most electric bikes will be able to withstand light rain, but you should never submerge your electric bike in water.
You can ride your electric bike in rain by taking proper measures:
- Use fenders. It will keep the rain off you and your e-bike.
- Wear waterproof jackets, shoes, and pants to make sure your ride is comfortable.
- Use a waterproof backpack, or shoulder bag to prevent your stuff from getting wet.
- Use lights for safety (Consider adding a blinking light on your helmet, rack, handlebars, or backpack).
- Lower your tyre pressure to give your bike a better grip.
- Clean your e-bike after completing your ride.
Notes: 1. Submerging an e-bike in water may lead to permanent damage to the motor, battery, or electrical components. 2. Riding in the rain may be dangerous due to slippery or wet road conditions.
