I just carry a PVC rain jacket in the pack. Heavy rain is pretty rare on my rides. I always wear waterproof riding pants and boots though. I like to hit puddles and stream crossings without thinking twice about it.

I wear Aerostich, they have more sizes than you can shake a stick at. They also come in short, regular, and tall. They also can do custom beyond that. I bought mine used, because I’m a bottom feeder. Great gear!
I also carry a lightweight Alpinstar Seal out suit for torrential downpours. I don’t wear it often, Aerostich has a Goretex layer.

Just finally had a wet morning turn to severe, severe frozen slickness after a mid day cold front passage. Lots of slideyness and even cars/trucks stuck on hills and stuff around town.
Just rode the motorcycle around town, haha…fucking amazing!
What’s gnarly is stopping at an intersection and nearly dumping it because my damn feet have no traction, and also being able to drag foot in the turns with no friction.
Omg, totally worth all the hassle getting this all set. Fun fun fun!

How you liking the Sur Ron?
Common sense. So rare today in America it's almost like having a superpower.

Sur Ron is a lot of fun for the kind of riding we do which is mostly forest service roads above 10k. We have about 1200m between the 2 bikes and they've been flawless. 0 issues despite being ridden enthusiastically by me and a bunch of different teenagers.
They get tossed around in the choss up high on the divide cuz they're so light at ~120# but the linear torque curve and nimble handling are very confidence inspiriting. In fact, I was laying partially underneath one in the snow last week (after I ate it around a right hand curve) thinking how happy I was that it wasn't an ice dirt bike @ 250#.Brandine: Now Cletus, if I catch you with pig lipstick on your collar one more time you ain't gonna be allowed to sleep in the barn no more!

We rarely ride more than 15m in one shot (mostly used at our cabin so we can charge at lunch or whatever) so I don't have much occasion to test the range but they'll do 30-40m on a charge depending on the rider, terrain, and sport/eco mode. The range question is further complicated by their regenerative coasting. We don't burn nearly as much battery descending, especially if it's fairly steep.
They definitely can't do all the stuff that my neighbor's fancy new sherco 300 can but they're a hell of a lot easier to ride and they're remarkably quiet, even at full throttle.Brandine: Now Cletus, if I catch you with pig lipstick on your collar one more time you ain't gonna be allowed to sleep in the barn no more!

Is there any way to make them road legal pretty easily? They look freaking awesome and I want one but living in a city makes them legally unrideable all other times

If people can ride stupid ass scooters everywhere why can't you have an E downhill bike?

I haven't done much research on making ours street legal cuz we mostly run them in the national forest but I've heard that it varies widely by jurisdiction. Luna makes a cool street tire/wheel kit that I'd jump on if we used them in town more often.
