Do you keep your e-bike

[stranger]

under cover?

Mine lives in the garage and one on the site lives under a green plastic cover. But there is one that is just parked in it's garden, exposed to the elements. I am not sure where the other one lives.

mine also lives in the garage....and the battery in the house

One in the office, one in the hallway and one in the garage. The office-based one even has a bit of carpet to sit on and keep it's tyres warm

Both fully protected from the elements, one in my garage, one indoors.

Batteries and chargers indoors.

E-bike in the garage, E-moped in the garage, all batteries and chargers in the garage too (children kept in the house....hmmm perhaps I should re-think this, vehicles in the house, kids in the garage??)

A mate of mine has taken the next logical step.....made the garage so he can live in it!

I hope he got planning permission! Most of these garage live-in conversions get refused, though I remember at one time my self employed consultant brother converted his garage into an office for some peace.

Didn't help, still divorced a couple of years later.

Actually it's more of an office than a full live in..... the wife had twins last year.... ;-)

Well, The first one I bought off the internet, I can't even remember the make or model now, Sun something I think, anyway, I sold it to the guy next door who very seldom uses it even though I would have thought it was ideal for him with his gammy knee. The second, a Powarbyke 24 speed Commuter is in the outside shed doing very little, though it will be a nice change to use it now and again, (it's for sale at the moment), and the third has pride of place in the fairly large porch; the Wisper is stood there caked in mud, all charged up and ready to go at a moments notice.

So in the cold weather, I should take the battery case inside overnight?

If it's extremely cold, say below 7 degrees C, it does help, but on a long journey the battery will still lose temperature and efficiency rapidly.
