I have never tried, it is raining cats and dogs right now, but I will try and look tomorrow. I can say that it is a good bike. Had a little trouble with the gears but nothing that couldn't be adjusted.

I've ridden in light rain with no problems. It appears to be plenty water resistant to me. I wouldn't be hesitant to ride in the rain with it for sure. By the way, it is VERY bright with 180 degree visibility. My favorite rear light is the VIS 180 from L&M;, but for the money this sucker is hard to beat. It also has a great battery.

Sorry, I can't answer that. My husband rides his bike for a hobby. He does not ride when it is raining. We get far less rain in Texas so it has never been an issue. I hope someone else can answer your question. Best regards

I have an XB-300li and ride it 20 miles a day north of Seattle for about five months now. I ride in extremely heavy rain and go through 6" deep puddles at 15mph and its still working. I used Loctite silicon to fill in a few gaps I saw around some of the wiring. I also put a ziplock baggy over the throttle secured with a rubber band. If you are going to use it in heavy rain, I suggest mounting a rear fender on the front because they are larger. Thats what I did.

It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited. I have been caught in the rain, with the light, and it worked perfectly. It's important to note that I was too aggressive with the rubber USB cover the second or third time I charged the light... and it popped off. My plan was to replace it - but I've been just too busy to get to that "C" list item. In spite of the exposed USB, the light re-charged flawlessly. This is a good value - several friends purchased the same light based on my experience and first hand observations. The charge lasts a long time and the unit is powerful, but not bulky. Good luck and be safe out there. It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited.

Probably too late for an answer, but no, I would not think so. It seems fine in a heavy morning dew, but I doubt a a downpour would be good for the rear electronics. That said, it seems sturdily built and works well for me.

I've had mine about a year and a half and it's been drenched in the rain many times. Still works fine. The back power cable did rust off and break when the wind knocked it over a few months ago. Had to ship the wheel to FL and cost me $80. Then I had to take the bike to my bike shop to fix alignment. The bike is a beast and is tough enough for dodging Atlanta traffic. I commute 8 miles 5 times a week and love it. Great bike but like any bike it does require repair now and again.

I gave it to my grandson in mid-June. He lives in WI and the weather has been so rainy that the Ybike has been riden mostly inside.

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.

I have just examined my unit and I would say "no". I don't have the manual handy but although I've used it in the rain I wouldn't expect it to be helped by total immersion.

My daughter has ridden it through water/mud puddles. I wouldn't advise making a habit of it but it's somewhat waterproof. It has a plastic case/seal around it.

Yes, according to the manufacturer's specs. However, I have not done any riding in the rain to test this.

I've been caught in unexpected rain, light and heavy, a couple of times while riding with the BC 1009 and have not experienced problems. I don't know how to tell if the buttons are sealed.

If its a light rain, I ride with it.If its pouring rain, I take it off and protect it
