Took a chance on a 20 % rain probability and rode to work...well the sun was shinning and a great looking day but the rain did come down later in the afternoon before getting back to the parked unit! This is the first my scooter or myself with one got caught in the rain which I was concerned about but I guess there is/was no need to be. I used the key cover closing the key slot and I guess that helped! The seat was not soaked or was the inside the unit even though the back rest is movable. From now on am not going to worry about the scooter being in the rain just whether I have some dry cloth's or don't mind riding wet!
