Or even just drive down to Lake Tahoe and find a winter construction site and try it there. This is a general problem with all these California-based companies and inventors (especially SV inventors cranking out crowd-funded bike stuff.) They seem blissfully unaware of things like cold weather, water, dirt/mud, and road salt...or combinations of them. I laugh at all those stupid fucking delivery bots because they'll fall apart anywhere there's snow, and get completely stuck on the slightest bit of ice. For many years, driving a Model S in heavy rain would cause water to get into the drive unit via either seals or vents that weren't sufficiently designed to keep water out. It "totals" the drive unit, causing corrosion of the motor control boards. And Tesla denies warranty claims on such repairs, because of course they do - just like they did on the windows that randomly shattered in parked cars. Raise your hand if you've owned a car that had problems with water ingress issues affecting its transmission. Or windows randomly shattering. What's that? Nobody? Exactly.
