I ride my Tidal fORCE in rain, storm , blizzard, below zero all winter.Problem is ice on the pathway /I avoid riding with cars by all means/ , not my Tforce.
Opened motor at around 10,000km , no speck of rust inside.
My battery pack is cusom made by mayself, completely rain proof. all wires enter from THE BOTTOM, or drip loops before entering .
I repacked LiFePo chemistry HPS pack from LifeBatt 10Ah, 36V grey cells made in Taiwan/means quality/.
After 3 summers and 2 winters cells do not show any detetarioration in performance.
E+ ebike is improved version of TForce, made in USA makes all the difference.
