Comment rouler en trottinette électrique sous la pluie en toute sécurité
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 bad weather with style and caution — including key features of GTXR models.
1. Check your scooter’s waterproofing
Not all scooters are made for the rain. Always check the IP (Ingress Protection) rating:
IPX4: Splash-resistant
IPX5–IPX6: Withstands powerful jets
IPX7+: Withstands brief immersion (very rare)
GTXR DT06 and S9 Pro models are designed to operate even in moderate rain.
2. Choose the right tires
Wet surfaces are dangerous. Opt for:
Wide tires for better grip
Inflatable tires to absorb shocks
Tread with grooves to evacuate water
GTXR scooters are equipped with tires suitable for these conditions.
3. Make yourself visible
Don't rely on others to spot you. Increase your visibility with:
Light-colored or reflective clothing
Helmet with integrated light
Front and rear lights permanently on
4. Ride slower and brake early
Rain affects stopping distance and acceleration:
Reduce speed by 30–40%
Brake early and progressively
Avoid sharp turns or sudden accelerations
5. After the ride: dry your scooter
Humidity can damage components:
Wipe the scooter carefully, especially the screen and articulated areas
Store it indoors in a dry place
Never charge it when it is still wet
