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.

I'm hoping it will last me for at least a few years. We have experienced a lot of rain and it is holding up just fine. I'm just worried about heavy wet snow.

I have ridden in the rain with no problem. If you leave your bike outside for long, I suggest you unsnap the computer unit and bring it inside. That feature works very easily.

Water does bead. My bike is outside all year round and stays dry. After two years its stood up to cold rain and snow. Color is fading though but integrity of cover is not deteriorating.

I owned one for about 5 years. It will not hold up to snow. Rain yes. We had it in the mountains of NC. We used it to have a semi-permanent campsite. It stayed up from April to Nov. There was no problems even after 3 years. One year it snowed a heavy wet snow and it came down. The weight sagged the canvas and buckled the legs. We just replaced the canvas and two legs and used the rest for another couple years.

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.

Mine has held up well in NW corner of NJ. We had below zero weather snow, ice and rain and it did OK.

Hi, I've ridden through a light drizzle a number of times. No issues thus far. Hope it helps

Yes. My cover has withstood the torrential downpours of the Georgia springs and I've never had a wet bike. Great cover. Very we'll made. Had mine for just over a year now.

I just rode for about 25-30 miles in a steady rain and it held up fine. Other than that I haven't ridden with it in the rain much

I have never tried, it is raining cats and dogs right now, but I will try and look tomorrow. I can say that it is a good bike. Had a little trouble with the gears but nothing that couldn't be adjusted.

I am not an expert but...I would say Yes, it is "resistant" if raining...not if bike goes under water for any longer period. Hope this helps.

We have had ours installed on the side of our house for several months. It has been exposed to heavy snow and rain and continues to work well.

Mine has been fine in heavy rain and snow mounted to the outside of my house with no additional cover. Very happy with the unit.

I bought and installed mine 2 years ago in an exposed outdoor location. I'm located in northern NJ and the unit is like new and works perfectly. It has survived numerous downpours, a few tropical storms, superstorm Sandy, several weeks of below freezing temps and several snow storms. Granted I shut that circuit off in the winter but there's been no evidence of wear and tear. I have it installed on a stake I've set in the ground so in winter I put a bucket over it to keep the snow off it. The box has no gaskets and isn't sealed up tight to make it weather proof. Whatever moisture gets in seems to easily find its way out. I was a little worried like you before I bought it but it seems to hold up very well.

I have never rode in the rain, and I have never heard that. It does not seem likely to me when all the electronics and battery pack is all sealed up. This bike is GREAT!!
