I just wanted to mention that I, too, was nervous about my scooter in the rain. Last week, it rained at least once every day of our trip. But surprisingly, I NEVER saw an ECV that was stalled out because of the rain. I saw many people still motoring along, wearing their ponchos, carrying an umbrella (to keep themselves dry, not their scooter). In the first couple minutes of my first brush with rain, I religiously got out my clear shower cap for the tiller and the poncho for covering as much of the ECV as possible. Then I looked around and saw uncovered
ECVs driving thru the rain. Makes me wonder-has anyone had problems with wet controls?
