Is this a reasonable vehicle to ride in rainy Oregon?

This is a 50cc scooter and can hold 2 adults ( about 220-230 pounds altogether ) will go 40/45 MPH and will give you 100/110 MPG. It is a very good scooter to take you from point A to point B . Whether it is good for a rainy Oregon weather is for you to decide.. :)

I've taken mine on a number of rides, in good weather and bad. The last time I took them on a rainy trip, they held up well for two days (it rained one day and one night.) The contents inside were dry, so they'll handle the rain. I'm not going to say they're waterproof, since if you drop them in a lake of water the contents will get wet. But they'll be fine in the rain (and mud!) Honestly, they're nice to have. They hold a good amount of gear. Between them, a camelback, and some ultralight backpacking gear, you can easily store what you need too and them some! They'll be going with me again on the C&O Canal this spring/summer. Ohhh, they won't hold a bed roll, they're not deep enough. But a small sleeping bag should fit nicely, mine fit, but then didn't provide for much additional storage (except for the outside pockets.)

Not a waterproof system. Why would you want to ride this or any open vehicle in the rain. I have a motorcycle. totally capable of driving in the rain. however, When it rains, I use the car.

It is well constructed. I dont believe occasional rain will hurt it. I would tilt it down a bit so it would not act like a catch all.

Even though I do not live in the bay areas, I would have to say that it would ride well. Where I live at, I use it to ride on waves and calm lakes. It treads well in those already so I would imagine that if you were to ride it in areas like that, you should be fine. Even with waves here and there, you should have no problems at all. I hope that helps out a bit.

It will be fine. It's heavy enough that it can't get the energy conserving rating. It's fine in a wet clutch. You can pick up a 5 qt jug at walmart for 26 bucks!

I've been out in pretty strong thunderstorms with some driving rain and the FireFly hasn't had an issue. I've also had it somewhat submerged while crossing rivers and it works fine. I wouldn't take it diving, but I'm not afraid to get it wet.

I wouldn't make a habit out of it, but the batteries and motor are weather proof. If you get stuck in a rain storm, it will get you home. Like any bicycle, it needs to wiped off afterwards.

It should handle light rain ok. Super heavy, not so sure, but its a canvas case and would deal ok with getting a little wet.

Sure! During fairly calm weather it should be great. Do you have the skeg? Very useful.

Yes it should work fine. Also contrary to the other answer it is rated IP54 and should be Ok in the rain

I just rode for about 25-30 miles in a steady rain and it held up fine. Other than that I haven't ridden with it in the rain much

Very safe. I've never had a problem cruising down the highway through the rain. I'm going on my third set of these tires considering I can afford them.

It def. Is! Ive ridden in very heavy rain and I have not had a single problem. As long as youre not physically dipping it in water, rain water is not an issue. And to top it off, I had a problem with mine a while back due to it not charging and amazon customer service was AMAZING. Product was replaced and sent to me in ONE day. Recommend you purchase!

I have never rode in the rain, and I have never heard that. It does not seem likely to me when all the electronics and battery pack is all sealed up. This bike is GREAT!!

Hi, I've ridden through a light drizzle a number of times. No issues thus far. Hope it helps

I think it could easily handle light rain but that's about it. It doesn't seem designed specifically for that but I could be wrong.
