How does the bike hold up in the rain, battery and motor?

Very well. I ride in the rain and have kept it outide during rain. Battery is fine.

I used mine in a race about one month ago.... It rained 4 hrs.... We got 3 inches of rain that day. It still works like new.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

I would not recommend using outside. The motor is exposed and would be a shock hazard from rain and condensation from dew. The only way to use outside safely is bringing it inside when not in use.

It worked just fine in the rain. It seems to be sealed really well and a solid little cycling computer.

I would trust the back battery holder to stand up to the rain, but I'm not sure about the front part. I left a nice Petzl on the lawn and the sprinklers rendered it useless. I would call the company.

It works great even in wind and rain. Again I had to open it up and re-solder the resistor back on contact. Since then it has been great!

I had mine on a motorcycle that encountered many torrential rains. Keep the cover on when not in use. I'm not sure I would even consider taking my bike through a car-wash.

Hi, I checked with my son, whom I bought this for. He has ridden in the rain and had no problems with it. He parks his bike indoors. We live in IL, so it isn't as rainy as in Seattle. I hope this helps.

as with any electronics I would not advise using it fulll time in the wet weather (outside in the rain) , the motor in the rear has vents and I am sure will ultimaly lead to malfunction and possibly electrocution..Bill P

Somewhat...I have run it in very sloppy / raining conditions and it has been fine...my guess is that you probably don't want to fully submerge it because of the motors (not good in general for a motor to be submerged...these are not fully enclosed) and the battery / controller unit.

The charge port has a flip on cover so if you go in puddles it wouldn't get wet and the battery is a sealed lead acid. Shouldn't be a problem but I've never done that. Of course I live in Southern Cali - so there's been no opportunity to really ride in the rain here.

My experience has not been as positive as the other responders in wet weather. The light was mounted to my seat stem and the water flung from the rear tire hit the bottom of the light and even with the rubber plug in place water gets into the light. I don't ride in rain very often (maybe 3 times over the past year), but the water has caused the electronics to corrode and the light now will not charge.

Yes, it's the main issue I read about. Do not go through puddles ect. It is fast and quite good on hills for a battery type scooter.

In my opinion, No. The battery case is such that rain would probably get into the unit. The vendor would have to say whether it would leak rain; and if the internal electronics would be compatible with getting wet.

It's fine to ride with it in the rain, but after a while, or if it sits in permanently wet conditions (for example if it sits with a lot of snow on top), moisture might seep inside, which interferes with the on/off/flash switch's functioning. There is a gasket, but I've found that this happens anyway. There is a lifetime warranty on the product, though you have to send the light away before they will send you a new one.

I've had mine out in the rain. No issues. As mentioned below, the connector ports have rubber flaps over them. Also agree that I wouldn't take it in the pool. But no issues riding in the rain with it.
