Radrover VS Himiway Cruiser

[Altema]

I agree that controller is in a terrible spot.

Yeah, it's in the same place as the one on the RadMini 4, looks problematic for sure.

Not a day goes by where I don't clean mud and dirt off my RadMini 4 controller. No problems since it's in a metal case and the internals are somewhat sealed, but not the best place. I'm thinking of adding a mudflap, lol.

...I'm thinking of adding a mudflap...

With ~1K on my Mini4, seems like I've cleaned at least 10 pounds of mud off my controller. The most annoying area though is the rats nest bundle of wires below the bottom bracket. I've put dielectric grease in all the connectors as a precaution and made a prototype shield out of clear Mylar that wrapped from the top of the controller down and under the wire bundle. It made periodic wipedowns a lot easier, but got ripped off when riding through some scraggly underbrush.  I plan on making a more robust version while the bike is laid up this winter (IF that happens, I just got snap-on earmuffs for my ABUS helmet, had to order them from Germany).
