Feasibility of keeping an Electrical Bike in poor (wet) storage conditions I'm looking to buy an ebike for my partner, and have been researching how best to store them to protect them from the weather.  

We live in a south-facing house in a New Zealand city notorious for its southerly storms and icy horizontal rain. There is no shelter at all on the outside of the house, and there's very little space to store a bike on the inside. The current (pedal) bikes we have are both stored outside.

The advice I see online for storing ebikes seems to be some combination of old, somewhat contradictory (geared towards different levels on the hobbyist - true-believer-enthusiast scale) and geared towards places with deep freezing winters, which we don't have here.

My question is twofold:

Are there makes of Electrical Bike out there that can stand up to being out in the elements for extended periods of time?

If not, how much rain abuse can a typical ebike get away with before it starts to get damaged?
It would depend on the bike itself.
The electronics on a high end e-mountain bike are pretty much waterproof, and the bike itself is susceptible to the same issues as any bike from rain etc.

Regardless, any bike will have its life and service intervals shorten by being left in the rain.

I'd suggest a small shed to store the bike in or at least covering it with a tarp would help a lot.

but ultimately no, e-bikes cant be left in the weather with no adverse affects like you could with a car.
