I have the Bolton 35A controller and the KT-LCD8H color display on my RadRover 5. Does anyone know how waterproof these two things are? Can I ride in the rain with them, or do I need to do something special to protect them? Does anyone have any ideas, products, or things they have done for extra protection in the rain?

The controller is well protected against water, though I don't know the exact IP rating. I used one for several hundred miles in muddy conditions, and frequently washed it off with a sprayer on the garden hose. I have the monochrome version of the display, so it's a bit different, but it had no issues with being used in the rain. Just make sure the USB rubber cap is in place.
Thanks!
