I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

Mine is outside all weather in Pennsylvania all year. I don't store my bike because I don't stop riding it when it gets cold. The water resistance lasts about a year. After that it's a dust cover. For the price you can afford to buy a new one each year.

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

I'm in Portland Oregon, don't really have heavy snow but rain. I like the 2nd mode and that works well in heavy rain.

We've had it outside the entire time, and it has done fine. It isn't very heavy, but comparatively sturdy enough to handle thunderstorms for example. We live in the south, so i can't tell you about snow, but i hope this helps

I bought the E300S in May 2012 and my daughter has riden it constantly for all but 2 months during the snowfall and it is quite well built. The tires are great and wear slower than I would have thought because they are the larger pnuematic tires (highly recommended than the smaller solid hard rubber tires). The only thing I will recommend is that after about 3-6 months of use check the chain and ensure it is still tight.

Bumpy roads should be fine. Not sure about trails because this is a hybrid, not a mountain bike. However, if you want to do off road biking, you can change out the tires for ones that are better designed for that kind of riding. I don't need a mountain bike and have never ridden trails with mine so I can't tell you whether the suspension is sufficient.

I use it mt biking and wrapped a rubber strip around the handlebars to fatten it up a bit. It does not move unless I crash. :)

I live in Florida and I have not had the chance to ride much during the cold... But I would say you may need a little extra protection as the insulation is a little thin...

Not bad at all. You have to shift into 1st or 2nd gear but it is a good bike and I really like it. The quality is pretty good and it has a great paint job. I've had mine for almost a year not. Just a note, I had a bike shop assemble it as it has a lot of adjustments and such, but it was definitely worth it. Mine is bright red in color. Great to be seen on the road.

Dan did a great job of answering your question. Keep an eye othe temp.....there are times I still need to add snow to keep it around 80

Snow might land on top of it, but that would not interfere with the operation. I live in Detroit and we're near record snowfall this winter, but this unit is performing like a champ.

Not sure about the snow, but I live on the gulf coast and mine is holding up pretty good! It is heavy duty and it is very nice, the picture doesn't do it justice!

It seems as though it's fine on the para. I've been riding in a few areas around Denver that have rolling hills and on the downslope it managed to pick up quite a bit of speed while still giving a decent resistance on the legs.

I bought this bike 2 months back and I really like it. I mostly use this over weekends on paved roads, sometimes on gravel too. Cons: 1: recently one of the magnet that holds both tires hold together fell off. But it was a easy fix.2: if your shoe size is bigger than 10.5 make sure you try the bike before you buy .3. Seat was bit uncomfortable in the beginning but got used to it after a while.
