HOW TO: MAKE YOUR ZERO 10X WATER RESISTANT

It’s really wet these days. So if you are thinking of preserving the lifespan of your scooter, it’s time to make your scooter more water resistant. Bring out all your silicone cause you will need a lot of it. Here’s how:
1. Unscrew all screws and add silicone to the screw holes
2. Silicone all frame joints
3. Silicone all cable openings
4. Silicone the front and rear of your scooter
5. Silicone the inside of your electronics like your LCD
6. Optional: Add mudguard extensions so that there will be no backsplash on the scooter

Best channel ever! Thank you so much 😊

[@FalconpevSg]

Wow, thank you!

[@michaelp3ddesigns]

Thanks! In Canada a similar silicone is Permatex® RTV Silicone Adhesive/Sealant 16BR Black, 80-mL, or any RTV silicone also rated for electronics. Still can't beleive the Apollo City knockoff of the Zero9 has sealant everywhere but the front of the battery compartment. Where it matters most.

[@Slayblaze]

I was wondering what a full sealing project on my 10x would be like, so thanks for sharing! Great job, very clean. I've already waterproofed a few of the spots shown here but I see I have more work to do to get them all. Thank you 👍🛴

[@relax2658]

The zero 10 x is not rated at ip67?

[@spraitukas]

@@relax2658 no ip rating at all. Driving mine through storms without waterproofing 🤷😎

[@mrgrieves6729]

What would you advise to waterproof the vertical leds on the Zero 9 ?

[@HanleysHatchlings]

@FalconPev did you seal up all connectors inside the deck also as it didn't show this. Thanks

[@davidagiel8130]

Being from Singapore you'd think having an IP rating out of the box would be a must. It's the only thing holding me back from getting a zero scooter, and this looks like way too much hassle for me.

[@milordas]

do you want it submersible? :) btw, sealing from inner side would be more estetical

[@quentindamien9488]

Bonjour quel est la threebond que vous utilisez ?

[@SeBi1896]

Is there such a thing for the IO HAWK Legend (Kaabo MANTIS) 42-52V Configuration Auto-Switch for 18.5Ah battery?

[@FalconpevSg]

It’s universal so it can be used on almost any scooter

[@adriankas4213]

NICE BRO ..

[@asphort]

Do it for the Zero 9 please

[@bigtom6746]

I am thinking about waterproofing my Segway/bird dual battery es-4 800. I’m guessing that I would follow the same procedure as you have done? Any tips or advice would be really appreciated, thanks in Advance & keep up the good work.

[@exile55]

Look up CorrosionX on KZbin. It's been used for about 30 years to waterproof anything. It last about 6 months depending on the type. I use it on batteries, electronics, and even on the bearings of the wheels.

[@davidagiel8130]

Aren't Segway already IP rated? The max is IPX5

[@mitjamusic1487]

I've done it right now. Lot of work. I bought it from a guy which gave the scooter to a offical servis for waterproofing. Did a bad job. I was cought in rain for 10min.Today when i opened the scooter there was half cm of water inside. All wet.. did all this in video and much more seeling all around the rubber gasket and around plastics of rear and front lights. I think you can't make waterproof thight, lot of holes, and small gaps at the LED beneath the deck. The reason that i opened the deck is becose my front light turn on when i turn on the scooter. I blow dried all the electrics but still the front lights turn on. Does someone know what's the reason and what to do? Itstarted doing this after that short ride in rain. Sometimes the lights turn off after 2 seconds, or even more than couple minutes. If i turn my lights on they work with no problem. My question is if it's ok if i leave it as is, or it's better that i cut the front lights cables and not risk a spark or something? Please comment and advise

[@kindzius]

What sealant do you use?

[@FalconpevSg]

We use threebond Japanese sealant. It’s viscous and quick drying

[@audemaraureada7495]

Is this easy to remove?

[@relax2658]

The zero 10x is not rated ip67?

[@HanleysHatchlings]

@Facon Pev can i ask that sealing the scooter will this not cause the battery to overheat without air flow?

[@FalconpevSg]

But there isn’t much of an airflow to begin with.

[@HanleysHatchlings]

@@FalconpevSg so these batteries can be sealed off with no issues of over heating and won't effect it? Am just curious as other scooters can catch fire

[@FalconpevSg]

@@HanleysHatchlings depends on what kind of battery you are using and what scooter?

Unbelievable that they don’t waterproof this 2000+ Dollar outdoor vehicle with sensitive electronics by factory. Any cheap rental crap standing around in the streets seems to being able to handle rain.

Hello the stock scooters come as water resistant but it isn’t waterproof. What we are doing here is making it waterproof. So that is the difference.

Would be nice if they could do this all for you so we don't have to. We always have to pay a premium so they should offer a first class premium service. The owner shouldn't have to do this.

Why don't you just dip the whole entire scooter in epoxy resin ?
