a bike that can take all weather

Hi folks

I bought the "GIO 500w E-Scooter" made by "Luyuan" back in may 2009
I've used it all winter

I'm on my 3rd throttle
part of it being a bad design and the other part is the roads
are not take care of very good in my city and I would guess
that the same go's for other city's too

despite accidentally making a mistake of touching the head light wires
together when I was trying to find out how much voltage it used
when the bulb burned out
