Rain

[Van H]

I’ve had my Hyper e-bike for a full month and really, really like it! I’ve emailed Hyper Bikes my question twice without any response thus my entry to this forum. I’m headed to the beach for 2 weeks and as always, am aware that a shower of rain can come up at any time. What precautions are necessary with an e-bike due to rain showers?

Plastic bag over the throttle, if you have one. Plastic bag over the display if you have one.
Controller has to have a drip loop underneath if any external wiring higher up. I omitted on my last installation & burnt a pin off the controller as a result. With controller hidden in frame, you may no know how rain resistant the controller & battery are. I have a drip loop on my battery too, to keep rain away from the connectors.

Thanks, very helpful.

If the beach means the ocean, you'll need to take precautions for the salt water
