If you use your electric longboard as a daily means of locomotion, then one can legitimately wonder about its use in the rain. For the rider, no problem: a jacket, waterproof pants and a good pair of shoes and you're done. For the longboard on the other hand, a few precautions are to be taken before launching into this semi-aquatic adventure. But be reassured, it is quite possible to do longboarding in the rain, whether it is electric or not, provided of course that it is minimum IP54 so that your battery works even with splashes of water. On the deck, it is very often made of wood, so think about adding an extra layer of varnish to avoid any risk of water infiltration. Be careful not to glue the screws of your trucks when you varnish. Another precaution to take concerns the bearings. These little beasts really don't like water, so remember to lubricate them regularly. Also, pay attention to the size and hardness of your wheels. If they are too hard and too wide, you risk skidding unintentionally. When you're done with your riding session, take a few minutes to dry your board and truck to avoid leaving unnecessary water on your board. On the other hand, do not dry your longboard against a radiator, or even worse near the fire, you risk heating up the glues and irreversibly damage your skateboard. One last thing, it is advisable if you start the adventure of skateboarding in the rain, to perfectly control your machine. This is even more true if it's about electric longboards because there is a very good chance that you will skid once or twice unintentionally and in the city. The result can then become more than problematic. So take care of yourself.
