can you ride in rain

It might void your warranty as the manual states that riding in the rain is not recommended. With that said, I commute to work on the bike in the rain fairly often and don't have any problems. I've taken the steps others have suggested and installed fenders and waterproofed the battery/controller. It rains a lot here and this bike has performed perfectly, even in pretty heavy downpours.

I never have, but I don't know why you couldn't, everything seems well sealed. I have ridden on packed snow and muddy conditions, but never in extremely wet conditions.

I am not sure about the battery performance in the rain, but the battery life is much less on cold days.

Hi Jeff. Electric bikes and water do not mix well. While the Outlaw is somewhat water resistant it is not waterproof. There are steps you can take to minimize damaging your bike such as installing fenders, getting a shower cap to cover the battery and siliconing the seam on the motor hub. It is also a good idea not to ride in a downpour and not leave the bike out in the rain. Kind Regards Jack

Yes but I suggest getting a rear fender, and I try and cover the battery/controler with plastic when it's raining hard. Usually it's fine but early on I did have an issue with water getting in the control area under the battery in a driving rain.

Yes. I have sat under it in the rain. It is extremely durable and looks brand new after a summer of intense weather.

Yes we have used them in the rain a lot and without helmets. No problems. Very pleased with the purchase.

No. it's not water-resistant. I rode it under heavy rains and had not problem at all. As long as it's not submerged in the water and should be ok.

It is not water proof. With that being said, I have only experienced a light rain when riding out here in southern California. I left it on and did well. And I do mean a very light rain of about 3 minutes. If rained harder I would have taken it off. I would not use it in a rain storm. Also, looking at the manufacturer specs, it does not mention anything about it being water proof.

I have ridden under light and heavy rain and it works properly! But I avoided pushing the buttons... just in case!

Not a definitive answer, but I ride in the rain daily out here in Oregon with no issues.

Yes, don't fly it in the rain, if it gets wet use a hair dryer to dry it but use it on warm air

I'm not 100% sure if they are "officially" water proof or water resistant, but I did ride with them while it was lightly raining and they seemed fine. No issues.

I have not rode in heavy rain with it. But it has done great in light rain.

As far as I was able to try, yes.It was on the bike night and day, at open air, during raining season and it had no problems.

Yes I have run mine in a hard rain with no problems. it is pretty heavy but with the wheels on it almost anyone can move it 5 foot.

It is water proof but I have on occasion had parts of the bike wet after a heavy rainstorm.

Probably not where it can be rained on. Otherwise, it is a fantastic product.

You can use it while raining but you can not put it inside water. I haven't try but I guess you can not do it.

Not advised, you dont see much on flying in the rain but I have had it start to rain and flew it back in with no issues.
