Is there a way to install guards for protection from mud &amp; debris?

Sure, you can buy fenders for the Prodeco Genesis. They are generic and available at most bike supply stores. You can install them yourself or have a bike shop install them. The easiest way would be to let a bike shop do it because they will make sure you have the right size. If you are bike knowledgeable than you will know how to get the right size and determine if the attachment points work. Plus it will be cheaper for you to do it. You can even give Prodeco a call and they might be able to recommend a brand. The Genesis is my second Prodeco bike BTW. I love them. Put over 600 miles per year on mine. I have a Phantom X which is over three years old. I don't know if it's the 8 speed rear derailleur on the Genesis but I can hit 22-23 mph on the flats compared to 18 on my 7 speed Phantom. Great brakes, smooth and strong. I have an intermittent electrical problem on my Phantom. (controller or throttle, not sure which yet) but while I'm waiting to repair my Phantom I bought a new Genesis because I didn't want to miss any riding. They make an excellent bike in my opinion. The Genesis also seems easier to pedal without using any battery power than the Phantom. I gave my Phantom a "tune-up" last summer...new tires, brake pads, battery. Wheels still running true so no adjustment needed. Hope you enjoy your Genesis. I sure do

Yes, super easy installation. 2 screws each and you don't have to remove wheels. 15 minutes of labor at the most. I live in New England and mud guards are still holding up with all the snow we are getting this year. I highly recommend this products.

I would put some old towels or blankets around the outside edges. Of course, in Maine during no-see-season, nothing will protect you. :-(

The guard has four screws that can be removed. Safely sanding a radius would be the real issue

I don't believe so. They were a tight but perfect fit with out any mud guards. Sure do look good though.

No cover is included. Install fuse block in a location where water and dirt will not be problems.

yes Id think with a lil finageling you could put some gutter guard screen on these

It's possible a small ATV filter would do the trick. Just make sure to use clamps on it do to the area it will be at with all the debris and mud slinging.

No - there's protection but wouldn't recommend unless under an awning or covered area.

Yes. These will help prevent rocks and dirt from being thrown onto your car.

We just tucked ours under tight and then put a plastic tree guard around it. Some fell off but not many. Hope that helps

I know this is an old question but this set up might work for anyone interested. http://www.amazon.com/MM7440C-Weatherproof-Outdoor-Receptacle-Protector/dp/B001JEPX6C/ref=pd_sim_hi_2?ie=UTF8&refRID;=0CXX26JZJQNEEXAVG1XC

id use the screws that come with the guards they have a wax like coating on then to prevent rust

Those are 2 Rear Mudguards and will not fit the front.You would have to order the front guards separately.

I don't see a problem. Since vinyl cracks easily drill pilot holes in the vinyl gutter prior to inserting the sheet metal screws. I put down a good layer of silicone caulk on top of the gutter where the guard goes. I'd do this as well.

Yes, they are anti skid and I tested them for water by putting one under the sink faucet. No water came through. As for thick mud I can't say for sure, but I think after the water test they should protect well from that too. They definitely keep the dirt off your floors!

I used the oe hardware that held the fender splash guards in place. You could try taking a bolt/screw from the front and going to a hardware store to get a couple extra
