I own a surface 604 shred and have 2500mi on it last I checked. commuted 5 days a week up in portland and road it out to hillsboro like a dipshit several times just to say I did it. it is now solely used for mtb duties on plus size 27.5 tires here in nashville now

e bikes rule and you should absolutely get one with a torque sensor cause it’ll make you feel like super man :D

Are these suitable for riding in all weather conditions? I've been a bike commuter for a while and while I'm probably terribly mistreating my bike by riding it in rain and muck or whatever, I get home and rinse it off a bit and it is generally not too much worse for wear.

What special consideration would one need to take to use an electrified commuter rain or shine?

yeah I commuted 5 days a week in portland (even during snowpocalypse). you can be a bit proactive and seal your connectors with dielectric grease, but I’ve had zero electrical issues with my surface 604 or the old sondors thin I had and I probably put close to 1000mi on that bike

really all you need is a fender and you’re golden for commuting in the rain
