Can You Ride an E-Bike in the Rain? 

Silicon tape for controllers, brake levers, battery and connections - works a treat

I rode my E-Bike (Bosch) over 60 kilometers right through an intense rain shower last year. I was nearly afraid to drown in the rain, water was everywhere. After i arrived home, i emptied my boots, about half a Liter in each came out. And my E-Bike? It went on functioning well since then...

Being an electrician for the past 8 years while being an avid mountain biker for 10+, I think short rides in the rain on most e-bikes is relatively safe. Almost every e-bike I've seen has the main components (motor, controller, battery) in some type of encasement. Electrical damage only occurs once water makes contact with electrical current. At the end of the day though, it's still risky to ride in wet conditions period. Water has a funny way of finding it's way in to places it doesn't need to be. I personally just ride a regular bike on rainy days, just one less thing to worry about. E-bikes aren't cheap, neither is the maintenance on them.

Funny I ride my aerial rider 52 V through the rain, snow, sleet, and it’s even been in -60 below zero weather here in North Dakota with 3 feet of snow on the road and I’ve been doing this since 2021 and never had one issue I ride that bike every single day 5 miles to work and 5 miles home. It has 7800 miles on it and all I’ve done is change three sets of tires and five sets of break shoes that’s it.

I rode through a puddle that was deeper than i thought the water got about half way up the motor and it still works just fine

Ima just say no to the rain 😂 thanks for this video 💯

My new bike shipped today! This is my first e-bike, can't wait to try it out!

Thanks for the video and info 🙂🙃✌️👍.

I believe the most concern I have is water getting in the tire motors, and rusting them.

Yes you can do it most weeks living in the UK. Can you ride an ebike in an ice Storm? Yes, but you can't breath as I found out two weeks ago.

Should you lube or grease the chain and sprockets after riding in the rain and wiping it down?

I always have a regular non electric mountain bike in my garage just in case the weather changes.

I have a 2019 Scrambler that never saw rain. The Bafang motor rusted and froze from being Stored outdoors under cover. Moisture in air mixed with uncoated iron magnets inside motor. Motor does not have any gaskets and is open to ambient moisture. Store inside dry area! Otherwise, an Awesome bike 👍

I'm less concerned about the battery, due to access to buying a cover. The LCD can be plastic wrapped even. But the motor is openly exposed

Well done Juiced

I don't ride in the rain if I can help it, just because it's safer not to any way you look at it.

If you ride your e-bike on the beach how do you clean the saltwater off?

I keep my ebike in the storage during the length of monsoon. I take out my single speed manual bike for under 5km distances. Prefer public transport.

Thanks for info on rain. I have 4 rip currents. First one that shipped has very loud squeaky brakes right out of 5e box. I emailed support immediately and then 3 more times and received no support. What do I do about squeaky brakes? The brake was brand new and has about 35 miles on the bike.

Gotrax ebe1 folding ebike, Is this water proof, is it ok to use it on a light rain, i just bought mine and its 3 days old

I live in Florida and rain can appear out of nowhere. If it’s parked while I’m dining out and it starts to pour is it going to get messed up? And do they make rain covers for e-bikes? As you can probably tell, I’m a noob to all of this

How about you let me watch the video first and decide if I like it, before I smash the button?????

Yesterday I rode my bike in rain and today when I started it, it stopped working. I don’t what I should do. When I try to increase the speed through the controller, it goes to zero immediately. I don’t know what I should do. Please give me some insights on this issue!

It's saying. Can we use our laptop in the rain videos.

Driving home with the bike on my rack, I drove through a down pour. ,, Do they have bike covers for bike racks ?

Can you ride your e-bike in cold weather? Or in the winter?

Some dude rode his ebike in the river the other day up to the battery around here.

Can you ride a e bike in a hurricane or 🌪??? Seriously is a bike cover good enough if you have to leave it outside?

Never will i ride mine in the rain, or wash it. Wiping it sometimes, who cares, its a pollution free tool to me. I use mine for shopping. No gas, no oil, i dont waste fuel driving my truck. Im over 65.

If your bike has fenders your good to ride in the rain 🌧

What abt the snow tho🧐

What about Electric scooter like the one I have it’s called Gotrax flex ultra

The short answer is 'no'.

They should be wearing helmets.
