Has anyone experienced problems with the Luggie in cold weather? Does anyone keep their Luggie stored in the trunk in cold weather?

We bring it in every time, but it would be fine in the cold if you remove the battery. It isn't good for in the snow, but works fine if parking lots have been plowed well.

The Luggie is used in Europe in cold weather. We did not receive any complaints about storing it in cold weather in car trunks. We suggest to remove the lithium battery pack and take it indoors if you are storing it for a long time.

I have used my Luggie in cooler weather, ie 2-3 degrees centigrade and found it to be no problem. Of course it depends where you live, as to what you consider to be cold weather! The battery seems to be slightly weaker when cool, but I have used it straight from the back of my car, and no problem, but I would consider the range of travel to be less when cooler.

We have not, But I can tell you this. If you leave any battery in a cold garage, it will not work, My wife has three scooters. And we always bring them in the house after we use them. And charge them. We love our Luggie, Best scooter of the three. Hope you have better luck, They do have a docking station for the battery, You can leave in your house, Just remove the Battery from the scooter when you come home.

Hasn't been too cold in PA this Fall/Winter, temps in the high 20s at lowest, I use the Hitch pack while up the Pocono Mountains and transporting goods from the warehouse store, seems to not get too stiff? I have a Kanga Roof Storage, probably 10 years old, The material that is made of is what I was really hoping for... but couldn't find a hitch pack version, I'd spend extra if there was one available. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer on the Amigo, it's not as thick as my Kanga but haven't had any issues yet.

Had mine two years. Live in southern Illinois. Had a bunch of snow this year. No issue.

Yes, Mine has been use outside all winter, and it is still going. The best product I have found, well worth the money, I plan on buying more, I just hadn't gotten around to it until I saw how well this one has work. I use mine at my barn, and it is in all kinds of weather. I hope this helps you.

I guess I am late on a reply. But I have been using for a while and has been stored for 6 months without issues (moderate conditions). I wouldn't want to store fuel for longer than 10 months anyway. When I get that long something is wrong. (Just dump in car and buy more gas). But using this during the winter in NJ works great!

I live in western Washington and I store mine in a shed. I would not store outside. We get plenty of rain and some snow and electric mowers are common here. This mower has a cord not a battery so cold should not affect it.

I used my item in the summer rain and it held out good. It was still working when I put it away in November. I would cover it with plastic(a bag) if you plan on using it in the snow,...just to be safe.

I live in Indiana so we have had some cold weather however I have not been through a winter with it. It seems to work well all the time. I like to use the cover that comes with it that keeps the unit clean and from getting soaked. Hope this helps. Thank you

Yes - it's great all winter long. I set it to low when I have the dog in the car. I also remove it all the time. It takes 4 mins to put it on and 2 mins to take it off :)

I leave mine outside until winter in a Northern ocean climate. It gets rough treatment and does well. When it is closed, it should survive ice and snow.

The unit is definitely affected by cold weather. Since the switch stopped working on our first unit we've always been sure to bring the units inside when the weather gets to freezing.

Was caught out driving when snow began to fall pretty steady, in Alabama, yeah haha... had to pull in the first parking I came to and park it. No matter how much I babied the throttle it would just spin and hardly move. Tire grip is terrible in snow as well on wet pavement. Although durability is great. Never a flat or pressure problem.

No. Not really. It's cold here about 6 months out of the year. Never had any issues. I've only changed the batteries twice in about 14 months as well. Gets to maybe -20 on the coldest days. Mine are mounted under my porch without the outside shell however. Maybe different results while using protective case.

The straps on my rack have been exposed to quite a lot of super cold (Michigan) weather and held up well. However, the true test is to see if they can take a Texas summer. I recently moved from MI to TX so I will have a chance to take this data point in a few months. Basically, ask me again in 4 months...

I left the slide attached to the swingset, but have not used it during the winter months. The slide appears to be quite sturdy, but not sure how it would hold up through really cold temps. I believe the coldest it has been this winter is approx. +8 F. Not sure if you are in a colder climate. Not sure this info helps.My daughter has had a lot of fun on the swingset. Hopefully this ends up being maintenance free.

It depends on temperature and frequency of activation. I'm in NY and it's' been very cold. After about 2 months the units performance became erratic. Just replaced the batteries and it's working well in the snow and fridgid temps. Keeping the dogs away.

No. I put in ice packs with my food. I unplug it when the car is not running and everything has stayed cold for at least 4 hours with it unpluged. The ice packs are still frozen and just a tiny bit soft.
