I live in sunny Los Angeles… very mild other than the Sun. These two bikes spent 11 months in the protective nook of my house, between two wings, protected on three sides. Only the Sun above. Used only twice in that year, early on. I think it rained once.After 10 months the handle tore through, just from the weight of the fabric. And it’s VERY faded on top.My initial impressions had been fairly positive, but they just do t hold up outdoors, even fairly protected. Maybe under a covered patio?No wSee full review
