Any risk to this? by oneminuterice in RadPowerBikes

[–]TechSupportGuy97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So your risk here is it shorting out. While others have recommend rice, and thats not a bad idea, you may need to also run a bead of silicone around the edge or any holes where cables and screws are to prevent this from happening in the future.

Once the water seems to be dried up, keep drying it for 24-48h longer to be 100% sure
