can the battery/motor get wet?

The motor is totally enclosed, so I can't see how it could get wet. I would take precautions with the battery pack. I keep mine away from water, but if you get caught in the rain you should be fine.

I cover my battery with a waterproof camelbak cover, I wrapped the power cable at the battery with electrical tape, and wrapped the power connection to front hub with electrical tape. In light rain this has worked ok. I also carry a waterproof handlebar "mitt" for heavy rain to protect the throttle area.

The battery case above the back wheel of the bike is durable plastic and the plug-in connection/prongs are well-protected from water, whether from rain or ground splashes. The motor on the front wheel is encased within a 5 inch metal hub and there is a weatherproof connector to the wiring that runs from the motor to the battery along the frame. I haven't ridden my Prodeco in the rain, puddles or shallow streams, but I'm not worried about a malfunction if I do. I wouldn't ride it into a lake and immerse it though.

Somewhat...I have run it in very sloppy / raining conditions and it has been fine...my guess is that you probably don't want to fully submerge it because of the motors (not good in general for a motor to be submerged...these are not fully enclosed) and the battery / controller unit.

Not a good idea. You need a wet saw for that, with this saw the dust is going to get into the mechanism and damage it, the wet saws have a certain setup that makes them water proof. If you introduce water into this saw it will get into the motor.

Yes, Mine gets wet by waves all the time. I also leave it on my yak in the rain. The fish-finder is in fact waterproof. The battery is fine if it gets wet as long as its not submerged for any extended time. I have accidental submerged the battery under with no adverse effect.

It is not waterproof. It's fine if it raining, but water would get in to the battery compartment if submerged.

The battery compartment is not waterproof leading to corrosion if submerged.

My tank is much smaller so I have never done that, but I've read reviews of people that have submerged it with no issues at all. The battery compartment is sealed, as well as the on/off button. Sorry I couldn't help further.

I dont use for outdoor, but I dont see why not if you keep the motor from getting wet.

the battery does not get affected if the boat fills uyp with water (which rarely happens- only if it overturns), just take it out of the water-

I have not gotten it wet but the battery is in the center of the bag so it would have to get totally soaked to reach it! I wouldn't say it's waterproof. More a work bag then a backpacking bag.

i dont think so , the motor seems pretty well sealed , but i would put the esc in a plastic box or balloon if you might get it wet, definitely would not submerge in water,

The battery compartment is on the bottom, and it does not appear to be waterproof. Personally I would not chance it.

Brushed motors are always waterproof. In fact, one of the ways you break them in is by submerging them in water and running at speed for a period of time.

I don't think I would take that chance, water could get into the battery compartment, slim chance but the humidity would not do the compartment any good. But I am not absolutely sure of this.

No. Water leaked into the battery compartment. I drained it before it was completely damaged and sealed it myself. I think one of the two I bought is still damaged.

I wouldn't use it on wet because it would ruin the filter and leak into the motor. Also, it is not really powerful enough to pick up water (my opinion).

Yes, it's the main issue I read about. Do not go through puddles ect. It is fast and quite good on hills for a battery type scooter.
