I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

Not really a problem, and I was a bit surprised, as I wore it on cold days riding my bike. It was fine at 40 F.

the tires are air. Its is a pretty cool bike, although my son hasnt had much of a chance to ride it being winter and all.

Truthfully, I don't know. It doesn't rain much where I am and I try not to ride in the rain since bike has no fenders which causes stripe on back when riding. Tho it is very comfortable and keeps the cold out.

It seems as though it's fine on the para. I've been riding in a few areas around Denver that have rolling hills and on the downslope it managed to pick up quite a bit of speed while still giving a decent resistance on the legs.

We've had more snow than I have ever seen in my life this winter. I live dead center on a culdasac and it is still standing. I placed it over an existing 4x4 post from my previous mailbox. Very happy with the look and durability.

I am from Texas so not much use during snow/ice conditions. Sorry, maybe someone else will comment. Great in hard rain though!

It has done very well for us on both pavement and some area trails. No major mountain biking around here though so I'm not sure about that kind of performance. Hope that helps!

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

I'm in Portland Oregon, don't really have heavy snow but rain. I like the 2nd mode and that works well in heavy rain.

Its a decent bike, but its big I am 5-11. I had the bike over a year with no problems. Only thing I changed was the seat since it was not comfortable for long periods of ride. Also changed the tires to road ones for a smoother ride on the street since I live in nyc

we live in Colorado with good snow, the only issues I have is in 1 or 2 areas but for the most part, they work great, would recommend

It's up year round here, but no snow. It handles wind with no issue. But I don't think I'd leave it up for snow.

My bike is packed away for the winter. It fit perfectly on a Trek 7200 seat.

I have used mine in 32º .. The darn system is impervious to inclement weather. Rain, cold, heat and some serious off road action. Used the bike everyday for almost 2 years now and have only minor fixes to electrical wiring. I highly recommend this product to anyone thinking about converting to a P.E.V.

I do drive mine outdoors, but it is not very rugged. It is good on paved surfaces but not on gravel or bumpy yards. I have ridden mine in the rain but I wouldn't let it get too wet or it might damage it. I don't think it would be good in snow or on icy surfaces. Better for malls or paved surfaces.

I live in Texas so I don't see much snow and I have not used it in wet weather but it would be fine as long as you use mineral oil after it gets wet.
