    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    the air contains water. that will condensate inside you battery, so there will always be some moisture inside the plastic encasing. I've been working in the E_bike bussines since mid '90's and have seen many "waterproof" batteries with moistures inside it. So it doesn't need to be drowned to...
