    Enjoy it 😉

    In terms of gear, a waterproof shell and pant shell if its pouring. Usually downpours don’t last and I can just wait 10 mins though.

    Change of shoes + socks at work.

        Yeah. My bike has Bosch electric drivetrain and they’re designed for it. The bike share ebikes where I live are also Bosch electric drivetrain and sit outside exposed to the elements just fine. Downpours no problem at all. I just wouldn’t submerge it. Although my friend accidentally submerged bike in floodwaters during a storm and bike was fine…

        Snow/ice no problem too. Extreme cold it’s great too although you may loose a bit of range, and I bring the battery inside to charge.

        Most bikes are at least water resistant but if it’s a downpour and I need to ride I’ll opt to take my regular hybrid bike instead.
