I'm new to the pedelec's forum but found my way here after 6 months of looking at electric bikes on and off. Basically I would like one to commute my 23 mile round trip in London. However, I've been put off by reports that rain ingress into electrical contacts and battery non-performance in the cold seriously hampers reliability.
However, looking at some of the posts in this forum I get the impression that these are now longer major gripes, especially on the newer and more top end bikes. On the other hand it is summer!
Does anyone have an opinion on water ingress and cold batteries? I am especially interested in views on :
Wisper 905e (soon to be 905Se)
Ezee Liv Plus
Ezee Forte
Gazelle Easy Glider
Thanks in advance for any input
