How dangerous is it to ride an EUC in the rain?

In hindsight maybe the other guys should have taken off their shoes and socks to ride through the water.  I'd hate the idea of riding with the feeling of soggy shoes and socks for the rest of the trip.  

Good call. Soggy feet are no fun, though a glass of wine with lunch did wonders. We didn't know the trail would be flooded or we may have planned better.

To me it feels scary as hell.

Thoughts? Opinions? Tips?

It's scary and fun as hell. You feel like you're water skiing.

Sometimes it is just to rainy to enjoy the EUC . The storm will pass over soon. The laundromat is dry and comfortable for my EUC which leans against the wall.

Don't put your EUC in the dryer though. All EUCs are drip dry, do not iron.

I just went through a rainy (light rain with smaller puddles) pavement road with my MCM4 and it got all wet, but I avoided the puddles as good as I could and I did only about 10-15kmh because it was my first time in rain. It worked fine and it's now drying up on my balcony (with no rain). I will probably avoid charging it up again until I'm really sure it's completely dry.

One word: mud.

My EUC tire stick to the ground in wet weather, unless I hit mud. It's slipperier than dog sh*t. Stay away from mud.
