1. Use water-proof clothes:

What could be more irritating than drenching clothes with water due to rain? And it is quite frustrating and not even good for your health. Remaining in water for too long can cause the flu and fever. However, protecting yourself with a raincoat is the most appropriate way to ride in the rain.

In addition, wearing warm woolen clothes is also the best way to avoid a chill and fever. So protection must be your priority.

2. Wear a helmet:

When you are driving in the rain, you are at a higher risk than when you are driving in clear weather. So, never go for a ride in the rain without a good-quality helmet that will protect you in the event of an accident. While riding, you are at high risk of road accidents or slipping off your scooter, and the most vulnerable part in such cases is your head, which is sensitive and, if injured, can prove lethal for you.

A helmet is not only to be worn on a rainy day or only on e-scooter rides, but you must make it a part of your everyday riding. You don’t know what uncertainties you might encounter while driving, so wearing a helmet is a safe bet.

3. Cover the battery:

Your scooter’s battery is the most sensitive and essential part, and if a short circuit occurs, you will face a frustrating ride. While riding in heavy rain, cover your e-scooter battery with water-proof material. However, light rain will not harm it. Read more about cleaning and polishing.

If water penetrates inside the battery, your scooter will cease, or the damaged battery will slow the speed and not allow you to cover much distance.

4. Increase visibility:

It is the significant side effect of rain that reduces visibility due to heavy dripping water. Moreover, a rainstorm would not allow you to open your eyes properly due to the force of water striking them forcefully. At such minimum visibility, you must switch on the front lights of your scooter. Besides increasing your visibility, the lights allow other drivers to see you and your movement. Otherwise, you could be hit with severe consequences that I do not even want to consider.

5. Slow ride:

Please don’t allow yourself to ride at its maximum speed while riding on a busy road. But you must not boost the speed if you are riding on a rainy day or evening. An increase in speed dramatically increases the chances of slipping on the road. Moreover, you can also lose control of the handle and hit a heavy object or another vehicle. So don’t be negligent in this regard. And protect yourself. Read more about electrical scooter categories.

Moreover, the brakes usually do not work properly if you apply them on a slippery road, and when it is the worst combination of the wet road with high speed, you can imagine the adverse results.

6. Low tire pressure:

Check your tire pressure before going on any ride. You don’t know when you will encounter bad or rainy weather, so keep the pressure on the tires low, as increased pressure on them reduces their contact with the road, and ultimately low friction increases the chances of slipping. Keeping time constraints low can reduce this risk to some extent. Read mlore about Hybrid bikes.
