Has this bike been weather tested? How does it do with long term exposure to sun, rain and snow?

I think any bike needs to be in to the house or garage , or may be needs a bag shield , I think the material of the bicycle could suffer corrosion or rust.in my opinión.

Not 100% sure. I've only had it for a few months. Though I live in Boston and have been riding it around throughout this fall/early winter. Haven't noticed any problems to the frame or anything. Pretty solid little bike.

We just bought ours so have only used it a few times however we bought it because we had seen one that had sat in the rain, cold, heat, etc. for over a year and was still in great condition.

The manufacturer's website says "Water resistant design for all riding conditions." I live in a temperate rainforest and mine has held up to daily (ab)use, downpours and all.

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

We have had it a couple of years. It sat out through our awful Midwest winters. Haven't seen any problems so far.

I've had it outside since I installed it with no issues. It's been through several heavy rainstorms and still works like a charm.

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 have had the backpack for a year and it's really hardy. Rain, sleet, and snow the bag hasn't failed me yet. I ride a bike in inclement weather and it's kept my gear dry as a bone.

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.

Not ideal...I did it in Switzerland and the winter here is not as tough...quite slippery with the original tires. In winter I use the MTB which has better results on snow and ice. Only positive if you slip & fall toy might stand and can let the bike fall...with the crank brothers on my MTB it is a sure fall �

I have not had any issues at all and they have sat outside since I installed them last spring. One is even cracked from me hitting it with a log and it works fine even in rain and snow.

I wouldn't submerge it in water but I've ridden it in all types of rain and snow and it works fine!

Have tried in the cold. I wouldn't use it in the rain, cause you'll just rust it out

The unit looks brand new and has been in the ground for about a full season. From 100F direct sun in the summer to -26F blowing snow and wind in the winter, I can see no visible degradation.

My son used this lock on his bike, riding almost every day, in rain and snow, and never had a problem. Now, that was just about 9 months, I don't know if there are any problems for longer-term use in the weather. I would assume that since it's mostly brass and stainless (or hardened) steel, it would last for a long time in the weather.

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.
