Most important routine after ride in water/rain. EUC must be VERTICALY and not charged next 24 hours(more better). This routine can prevent fire!

To avoid water from dripping into the battery?

@@kingdongo4388 I have an electronics vacuum cleaner the xpower vac. I use it to clean my the dust out of my computer. Could help to dry a wheel out quicker. But I would face the the vac downwards not upwards to push the water out. Letting gravity finish the drying process.

[@kingdongo4388]

@@n_ux if so, it’s better to open up the wheel, I like that idea tho!

[@user-hi8cg4wm4v]

I've had my gotway mcm5 for almost two weeks and it has some minor scratches and stuff from mounting it falling down but I've only had it for 2 weeks and I think I hear a small sound in it like the fan making a weird noise kind of like it's rubbing or something it's only after I ride for a very little while like I said I've only had it for a week or two should I be worried

[@AndreiPetunin]

18xl - heavily rain, mud, thousands of km on both my xls. Every time I open them up they are mostly dust-free and are completely dry inside. Inmotion - v10fs had major water ingress problems when released. Two of my personal v10fs had issues. V8 heavy rain all dry inside. Same with V8f. 16x - as you said, dusty but dries up, no key components affected. Thank you for posting and touching up on the subject.

[@MrLeonightis]

Inmotion and Kingsong are somewhat water resistant, Gotway /Begode have little if no water resistance . To my knowledge ,anyway.

[@HKnK8]

I dont even own EUC and just finished watching half of your Playlist. Keep on it!

[@sherryandpeter]

One of your most informative videos! Fantastic!

[@7belair]

This video gives a pretty optimistic view on waterproofing for most wheels. My experience with 16X, Sherman and of course MSP is not that great. I agree, you can be lucky if you expose your wheel to rain/water occasionally and dry it well. But if you are using the wheel on everyday basis for commuting, not to mention working and riding 1000s of kms every month, the damage is inevitable. Bearings give up, some parts of electronics (can differ from wheel to wheel) will short circuit etc. And pay attention to physical damage that your wheel may have - this increases the risk of water damage significantly. So my advice would be to waterproof your wheel thoroughly and (or) do regular checks to see any damage happening.

Adam, I'm glad you're still coming up with awesome content even after hundreds of uploads! This topic is VERY IMPORTANT! i love the channel, wish you the best and i hope that someday I'll meet you up on that path that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE! I think it is my favorite path in Warsaw! Keep it up mate!!

[@bigbadboogie6842]

Was choosing between Sherman and Ex-n, went for the Sherman after seeing two holes in ex-n. One behind mobo poorly sealed + the big hole that you sealed off with mesh (mesh is not water proof though, to keep in mind). Glad to hear Sherman pulled it off well, goes online with what i have seen since it came out

[@TheDownloader86]

I bought V8F as my first wheel. It is amazing, so small and powerfull. All I need for my everyday city use. I saw disasembly videos, it is awesome. IP 55 rating, sealed battery and motherboard, just amazing. For commuting I need waterproof wheel. Storm can arrive anytime in the summer :-).

[@kenspaceman3938]

Great informative video on a very important subject! One thing I do wonder about though is the suggestion of riding with a plastic bag over the wheel. Isn’t there a problem with the operation of the cooling fan then? Resulting in a risk of overheating?

[@evelynoclaret4689]

I liked it, very practical and useful.

[@thegreenhansel]

Genial erklärt wieder mal... super Video... danke lieber Adam... ich bleib aber bei meinem Wunschwheel begode rs19... aber auf Anraten von Denis das HS... mit dem neuen Motor soll es perfekt sein für Leute bis 70 kilo um im Gelände extrem abzugehen

[@mikebikekite1]

I know Inmotion state an IPX rating but I believe these are "self awarded" so I wouldn't trust it too much. Any wheel with a hollow motor bearing is going to fail at some point in the rain so I'd avoid the V11 if you're going to ride in the rain. Personally I wouldn't trust the Info screen on the V12 to remain waterproof - I might be wrong but it just seems an obvious place for water ingress. I believe the best wheels for riding in the rain are the Kingsong 18XL and the Gotway Nikola. I have a Nikola+ and it does seem completely waterproof, at least so far anyway :)

[@mordsith05]

Thank you for this video!~ Vancouver rains are coming.

[@vuosiharju2282]

Hi, I know you have qs205 motor on your bearebike. I want to know what mods have you done (or got in that motor) like turbinators rewinding ferrofluid sidecovers....??? Also how many amps or watts can you put through that motor (5-10seconds peaks)??? I am thinking to buy qs205 but wondering what is the maximum amount of amps that can be run through the motor with maximum mods that can be done in that motor (qs205 v3).

[@mtbalot]

totally amazing

[@Kenwaldek]

Just thinking a backpack raincover should work for some wheels? I don’t own an euc so just speculating. But for the prices those things cost i feel they all should be rainproof from factory

[@daveii20]

The Gotway Monster v3 100v is not waterproof out of the box. But it is very easy to do by applying some silicon kit to the USB port, cable holes, front light holes and put a bit of tape on the on/off button. Drove it a few times stock in heavy rain, it did not want to turn on the next day because probably water was shorting the on/off button. When I pressed the button only my lights turned on and there was a beep sound. But the wheel did not stabilize. Drove 3500km on it now. No problems anymore. Just add that silicon. 🤝 Always check you case when you do jumpy thing.

[@daveii20]

With cable holes I meant the outside things on the top corners near the side panels. While there is a gasket on the 100v v3 for the side panels only I would still recommend to double seal it from the outside with some extra silicon.

[@az196823]

I have a GOTWAY Monster V3 100V it's good in rain, needs some minor work. Other than that it's great in rain.

[@th0mza]

I'm planning on getting a mcm5 v2 as a last mile commuting wheel. Any feedback on its waterproofing ? I never know if it's gonna rain..

[@mattca353]

I believe the only potential issue with the Nikola are the Bluetooth speakers. They are exposed to the inside part of the wheel well, just add the same water resistant foam recommended for the air intake of the others wheels.

[@MyLunde]

Thanks. This is an important topic for me. I can not, not drive in rainy weather and this is such a big safety issue for me, that I can only buy IP rating wheels (InMotion), and can only dream of Begode (Monster). Driving 50 km / h and just hoping that this is not the day someone tells you that you should have read the manual, is not acceptable to me.

[@JamiePineappleWyatt]

I finally got to try out a Tesla v2 last night, I was a bit wasted but it definitely feels absolutely amazing, I finally see how amazing these things are man!

[@JonahHax]

Adam, I notice you looking back a lot to see if there are someone coming from behind. I have seen others using a mirror placed on their helmets and some having a mirror on the back of their gloves. Have you ever tried any of those or maybe even have a video review on those? Also any other gizmos like a bluetooth controller you can mount on your arm or glove that can control lights, horns, music or whatever?

The ninebot Z10 has great waterproofing. (Can confirm by dropping it in a creek) as Al the electrical components are behind a rubber sealed sideplate, the batteries in their own waterproof housing and the controller in a separate plastic rubber sealed box as well. Looks very high quality!

Hey Adam is there some kind of workshop in Warsaw for EUCs where i can get some basic job done like replacing the tube?

[@mr_wrongway]

Hello! Sure, greenwheel and there is also Robert on the city outskirts

[@jedics1]

An electrical piece of equipment designed specifically for out door use with no water proof rating? It just shows me the companies behind them must be real backyarders.. Water proof Battery packs and hub wheels for Ebikes have been around a long time now so there is no excuse. 'Just put a plastic bag over it' haha, i'd be embarrassed if someone needed to do that with one of my products. EUC's will have a big future for commuting when they are durable and reliable like everything else in the market they are trying to compete against.

[@DeathToCockroaches]

Where can I get those plastic covers or plastic bags for 16x? I don't see how I can cover it

[@WeirdEarRaub]

I was kind of hoping you would address the trolley handle on the Sherman, when I ride in the rain hi I have put a plastic bag over the top, but I worry about the air vent, and whether it’s Cooling the motherboard as well as it should, with the plastic bag over it. Ordinarily I ride pretty cautiously in the rain anyways so I don’t imagine it needs as much cooling as it would if I was writing fast, on a hot summers day, but I’m curious what your general ideas about that are. Thanks!

[@mr_wrongway]

Hey Rich :) i had no issues with the trolley so thats why i didnt mention it :) mine even sticks out a bit usually so probably water would get in there if it had a chance

Hi Adam! Could you post a video on your thoughts of events like the NYC alley cat race, which received much controversy over law breaking and general saftey and wellbeing of everyone? (pedestrians especially)

[@mr_wrongway]

Hey there! Maybe I will include it in a general video about EUC safety. I wasn’t thinking of making a direct response to the alley cat thing. Driving quick the opposite lane and fast and close to pedestrians is definetely dangerous, we should drive ok the correct lanes and take care of pedestrians

[@scottsum1319]

Whats there to say? In general, ppl break laws daily. Its whether we get caught, we get hurt & if we hurt others as well. Its NYC & if you've been there recently, there's many (many many) other ways to get killed/hurt other than euc street racing. FWIW I'm not from there but instead from a jurisdiction that would get me dangerous/reckless something ticket & likely get my wheel confiscated as well. I also don't think I have the ballz for that but I'm also aware enough not to judge esp other parts of the world. Some parts of the world eat dogs & cats while others stone gays so there's that.

Don't need ppl from who knows where with who knows what to tell me what I should or shouldn't do. That is my point. What's yours

[@richguy32]

@@scottsum1319 My point is that I'd like Adam's opinion, NOT YOURS, on the alley cat race(and anything like this), especially since Mickey was forced to take down his video after backlash, Hsiang receiving multiple hate comments aswell as Zen posting about dropping Ewheels because of the drama. EUCO, Ewheels and Shredlights all denounced their support for this event, so what are Adam's thoughts in regards to this kind of event? To your first comment, cats and dogs, just because somebody is doing somethn bad and it gives em a bad reputation, doesn't mean we should do something bad(like breaking traffic laws, almost running into people) and give ourselves the same reputation. I don't care what you do, in the end it just shows what kind of person you really are. I'm not telling you what to do either. If you believe races, or activities like these, where it endangers the public are perfectly fine, do you. If me caring for others wellbeing is being a SJW then w/e.

Rain water alone should not make short circuit, as it almost salt free (0.05% or smth like that), water from puddles is different. But water cause other problems like rust, degrading unprotected copper on contacts, circuits, etc...

If someone wants to steal a wheel or an e scooter , if they see it not much you can do if you are not around to stop them.

Be careful when the road is slippery. I find that sidewalks are generally less slippery and I prefer then when it's wet. I've had my wheel slide out from under me in situations where I know it would not have if the surface were dry... maybe a more off road tire might help but u still have to be careful on account of the one point of contact with the ground.

The idea that any IP rating code indicates some water protection is not completely true. An IP ratings might indicate protection against harm from touching with the back of the hand, but not from sticking a finger in an open hole, and no protection from water has been tested. Here's more than any of us want to know about the numbers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code
