Made I laugh. Does it clean the bike for you or something? 😀

They say its E-bike specific but works on all chains and rubber belt drives

So it works on all bikes and anything that uses chains and rubber belt drives lol

Surely it doesnt take a genius to see that regularly  jet washing an ebike with water isnt ideal.

Non penetrating cleaners like that are fairly common for cleaning the exteriors of electrical stuff that you dont want to get water into.

Seems sensible enough, my OH's bike has a warning sticker advising against riding in the rain so I imagine jet washing is a bit on a no no.

Against riding it in the rain ? Did it come on the slow boat from China ?

Only advises against, doesn't say you can't. Sounds like good advice for any bike, battery powered or not.

Nope not a Chinese special, the exact wording on the battery is "do not place battery in water, salt, Acidic or alkaline liquid and avoid being caught in the rain."

What ebike is that?

never seen anything similar on an ebike

Ride mine in the rain all the time and never had any issues, and there is certainly nothing advising against it.

Looking at their normal stuff. One quid more of the e-bike stuff but you get 500ml vs 400ml. So is that expecting e-bikers to use it more?

Looking at the blurb seems to indicate they expect the e-bikers to be lazier and just to be able to spray stuff on and not bother with rinsing etc. Oh and like the smell of bubble gum.
