That's good to know, my bike is a couple of months 'old' now and has known only nice weather so far. We have a bridge to get on and off the island. . .so no deep water :)

Hi, Now the weather is changing is it ok to carry on using electric bikes? I ask because of my concern for water ingress, 'specially where its most vunerable if it does get in; ie my rear hub motor. I cant see where this would occur except at the shaft?? Any replies/ideas are appreciated. M
