This question came in from Aryeh:
It does rain where I live. Do the fenders provide real protection from wheel splash, or are they more for style?
Batteries are expensive. Are they contained in the frame in a way that they can’t be stolen?
Thanks,
Aryeh
Thanks for your questions. Â The Optibike fenders were designed with both function and style in mind. Â So in short, yes, they work great in wet conditions. Â
The Optibike battery is removed by turning the bike upside down, removing the rear shock, and removing the battery cover. Â This job is virtually impossible while the bike is securly locked to a bike rack. Â Further, the whole operation takes about 30 minutes- more than most thiefs want to spend on a project in public. Â
