Can I leave my motorcycle out in the parking lot through out the winter in it?

I just purchased mine a few months ago and currently have my bike in the parking lot in Chicago. Even with all the snow, wind and cold weather it's holding up very well to this point. Granted I did build a simple wooden platform and attached the dome to it. Once the snow melts a little I'll be able to get back inside it. I hope this helps

depends on where you are I guess. I don't think it would handle heavy storms, but rain and light snow should do fine.

Yes I leave them out all winter. They will not stay on as long as the sun will not charge them to full capacity .

This question is older but in case the original poster or someone else still wants an answer: Yes, you can set it up outside in the winter. I would recommend putting a tarp under it to keep the bottom dry. Don't leave it out to get damp. If it does get damp / wet, set it up in your garage or similar covered area and run it till it is dry. You do not want to fold it up and put it away with it being damp. Also, I know this may be obvious, but don't set it up and run it in the rain.

My Father leaves it on year round as he stores his snowblower in a corner of his garage. I think you could take it off and on relatively easily as the whole thing is held on by only a few bolts. I think it would be a little bulky to store that way though as I don't believe it would fold up.

Yes,you can leave it out in the rain on, works fine. But you should put it away for winter before it freezes.

If there's snow on the ground I wouldn't. The motor won't get along with the wet conditions. But living here in Northwest Florida with temps for the most part in the low 40's I don't think there'd be a problem. I would think rolling it up when done and fitting in the bag could be a bear of a task though. Not sure I would set it up.

You can, but it will eventually get some rust on parts that are not painted well. The top is plastic and if left in the sun, it may crack or peel. So I would not leave it out, unless it is covered with a good tarp.Jimmy

Yes you can. I leave mine hooked up to my bass boat - charging the trolling motor battery as well as the main battery. I leave it plugged in all year, and only unplug it when I get time 2-3 times a year to use my boat. I store the boat in a non-temperature controlled sea container - and I live near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Winter temps can drop down to -45 C (-49 F)

I don't think I would leave it outside. I am not sure how the inside tread area would hold up as it feels like a sandpaper type material plus the weather might eventually make the plastic brittle.

I use my mat outside but bring it back into my garage after each use. If you live in a mild climate, it should be fine to leave outside.

Hi, I keep the cooler in the garage most of the time, I don't leave nice things open to the elements like sun and rain.although I'm sure you can.

Yes, you can remove the top but I believe the entire thing is supposed to be dismantled and taken in for the winter, especially if you want it to last. I don't think it is designed to stay outside in the cold.

Yes. I remove my cycle battery for the winter and have it hooked up to the tender from about November until April.

Yes! Left it out all year in all kinds of weather and it looks great! Must take pillows in, of course.

I would not leave it outside for the winter for two reasons. One the housing is plastic and if water was inside it would freeze and crack. Second the inside float is cardboard like and it would deteriorate.

No, mine is outdoors as well. I take it off when season is over though. Gives car better gas mileage off. Ski racks are meant for inclement weather.

I use mine outside every year. I would not recommend it being left out in the rain however as the water would get directly to the motor.
