Waterproof Your Electric Scooter: How to Ride in Any Weather

Riding an electric scooter is an incredibly fun and convenient way to get around. However, one of the major concerns of electric scooter users is the potential for water damage. Most electric scooters on the market today are not fully waterproof, which means you need to take some extra measures to protect your scooter from the elements. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making your electric scooter waterproof, so you can ride confidently in any weather.

1. Identify your electric scooter's IP rating

If your scooter has a high IP rating (e.g. IP65 or above), it's already relatively resistant to water. However, if the rating is lower, you will need to take additional steps to protect your scooter.
