How to ride an electric scooter safely in the rain

Rain is no excuse to cancel your ride. If you use your electric scooter every day, knowing how to ride safely in the rain is essential.

Here's our complete guide to tackling the elements with style and caution—plus key features of the GTXR models.

 1. Check the waterproofness of your scooter

Not all scooters are made for rain. Always check the IP (Ingress Protection) rating:

 IPX4: Splash resistant

 IPX5–IPX6: Withstands powerful jets

 IPX7+: Supports brief immersion (very rare)

The GTXR DT06 and S9 Pro models are designed to operate even in moderate rain.

 2. Choose the right tires

Wet surfaces are dangerous. Choose:

 Wide tires for better grip

 Inflatable tires to absorb shocks

 Profile with grooves to drain water

GTXR scooters are equipped with tires adapted to these conditions.

 3. Make yourself visible

Don't rely on others to find you. Increase your visibility with:

 Light or reflective clothing

 Helmet with integrated light

 Front and rear lights permanently activated

 4. Drive slower and brake early

Rain affects stopping distance and acceleration:

 Reduce speed by 30–40%

 Brake early, gradually

 Avoid sharp turns or sudden accelerations

 5. After the ride: dry your scooter

Humidity can damage components:

 Wipe the scooter thoroughly, especially the screen and articulated areas

 Store it indoors in a dry place

 Never recharge it while it is still wet
