A rainfall lasted from last night to this morning. Some e-bike owners found that the e-bikes placed outside due to the rain, as soon as the power is turned on, the car automatically runs forward, and some e-bikes have brake failure or horn does not sound. Electric bicycle professionals reminded that after the rain, do not rush to start the electric bicycle, first dry the key parts.
The most likely thing to break in the rain is the motor and controller. The motor, controller, battery and other important parts of the electric bicycle are waterproof, but with the increase of years of use, these waterproof treatments will be damaged by man or natural wear and tear, and the waterproof performance will also decline. After an e-bike is wet, don't turn on the power, because once you do, it may cause a short circuit. If you can, it is best not to ride it and let it dry naturally or dry out for a day. If you have to ride it, wipe the battery and the connector with a rag or paper towel before you start it. If the e-bike chain rusts after the rain, you can wipe off the rust spots with a cleaner and then scrub it with diesel, it will be as good as new.
