Electric scooters vary in their waterproof capabilities, depending on their IP ratings. While some models are water-resistant, others are designed to withstand more extreme conditions. IP ratings, such as IPX4, IPX7, and IPX8, indicate the level of protection against water. For instance, an IPX7 rating allows the scooter to handle immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. Key components like the battery, motor, and controller are often waterproof or water-resistant to ensure functionality in wet conditions. However, it's important to avoid submerging the scooter or riding through deep water to prevent potential damage.
