this bike is okay to ride in rainy weather as far as battery goes?

Everything seems to be weather resistant as far as I can tell. Mine has been left out in the rain a couple of times and is showing no ill effects from it.

If the battery gets wet ive heard of problems and having to let it dry out. A fender is a must. This bike is awesome though and a workaround is always possible a bag of some sort. I would advise getting a bigger battery with this bike to increase the distance. I have a 16 amp battery that goes nearly 40 miles per charge. Awesome bike all in all

yes. i have used mine in the rain and it still works great. the only thing i might worry about is the camera and connections. i would cover those just in case.

It is water proof but I have on occasion had parts of the bike wet after a heavy rainstorm.

I've ridden with my in the rain and it survived just fine. During one particularly heavy downpour during a long training ride I wrapped some cling wrap around it before attaching it to the bike but looking back I feel like that was probably unnecessary.

The charge port has a flip on cover so if you go in puddles it wouldn't get wet and the battery is a sealed lead acid. Shouldn't be a problem but I've never done that. Of course I live in Southern Cali - so there's been no opportunity to really ride in the rain here.

Yes. I rode in the pouring rain (Portland, Pacific NW style rain) for several minutes and there was no damage done. Each time I put in the rechargeable batteries I notice there are rubber-type seals in place.

I have ridden it during rain and wet trails and it works fine. I don't think its submergible though.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

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 an XB-300li and ride it 20 miles a day north of Seattle for about five months now.I ride in extremely heavy rain and go through 6" deep puddles at 15mph and its still working. I used Loctite silicon to fill in a few gaps I saw around some of the wiring. I also put a ziplock baggy over the throttle secured with a rubber band. If you are going to use it in heavy rain, I suggest mounting a rear fender on the front because they are larger. Thats what I did.

I gave it to my grandson in mid-June. He lives in WI and the weather has been so rainy that the Ybike has been riden mostly inside.

I have not rode in heavy rain with it. But it has done great in light rain.

I don't know about that. I have had mine for several rainy monthes outside with no problems.

Yes I have run mine in a hard rain with no problems. it is pretty heavy but with the wheels on it almost anyone can move it 5 foot.

Yes, or you may buy a kickstand. But if your bike do not have a kickstand, then that bike does not afraid raining. Haha

I would not use this where the motor is directly exposed to rain. Where the motor is sheltered from the rain, it works well.

as with any electronics I would not advise using it fulll time in the wet weather (outside in the rain) , the motor in the rear has vents and I am sure will ultimaly lead to malfunction and possibly electrocution..Bill P
