Who out there is nervous about riding their BBSHD bikes in the Rain? For the commuters what have you done to make your e-bikes "water resistant"? What is everyone doing to protect your electronics? I do the following and just curious if anyone else does this and or what else are you doing?
I typically wont go out if it's recently rained or extremely wet. But I have been caught in several rain storms lately also I've gone on some new trails that have some very low level creek crossings. Like large flat rocks over the creek but the underside does get wet. Since it was pouring out and I was just trying to get back to the car I rode over the creek then said oh sh&@ should have probabbly carried it over. Am I being way paranoid?
- I use liquid electrical tape on the bottom of the motor where all the wires come out of the motor. I just gobbed a bunch around the seal of the existing grommet.
I use Dialectic greases around all the connectors. That's about it. What other things are you guys doing.
