And God said let it rain

It poured then turned to freezing rain, it came down over my eyes through the vents in my ski mask. The bike and electronics worked like a charm.
$100 walmart bike, $ 250 kit, $500 lithium battery. no issues with power

It means that this bike is very good and can take it any time now to force the user to pedal, it works so well that you use it well.

Chinese but Samsung batteries, just blue wrapped but i did put it in a basket and covered it with a removable cover i made from half an inflatable boat seat. Also used car brake grease on the connections, WHAT! yes it's silicone not oil based, synthetic and die-electric. $7 a tube in Canada, enough for a lifetime. Here it's called Kleen-Flo, EZE-SLIDE.

may I suggest a really great helmet cover? another BF member wrote about theirs, so I checked it out & it's great when the you-know-what starts falling, especially useful when sleet is blowing right at your face







Taiga Cycle Helmet Rain Cover, Waterproof/breathable Cycling Hat

LOL!
wonder what a 200 lb ray-o-vac E- bike battery pack looks like? either way it seems your not going to break windows 2 blocks away if something goes wrong like Lithium's.
