    Yeah. My bike has Bosch electric drivetrain and they’re designed for it. The bike share ebikes where I live are also Bosch electric drivetrain and sit outside exposed to the elements just fine. Downpours no problem at all. I just wouldn’t submerge it. Although my friend accidentally submerged bike in floodwaters during a storm and bike was fine…

    Snow/ice no problem too. Extreme cold it’s great too although you may loose a bit of range, and I bring the battery inside to charge.
