The reason why a tricycle won't move after getting wet in the rain is that water splashes onto the controller, causing a short circuit when the controller gets wet, which prevents the electric tricycle from moving. It is necessary to inspect and repair it promptly. Compared to car repairs, tricycle repairs are simpler. Overview: Car repair is a general term for car maintenance and repair. It involves using technical means to diagnose a faulty car, identify the cause of the problem, and take certain measures to eliminate the fault and restore it to a certain level of performance and safety standards. Others: Car repair includes major repairs and minor repairs. Major car repair refers to restorative repairs that use methods such as repairing or replacing any car parts (including basic components) to restore the car's good technical condition and completely (or nearly completely) restore its lifespan. Minor car repair refers to operational repairs that use methods such as replacing or repairing individual parts to ensure or restore the car's working ability.
I've encountered this situation where a tricycle stops working after getting wet in the rain, and there can be multiple reasons. For electric tricycles, rainwater can easily seep into the electrical system, causing a short circuit. This can lead to controller or motor failure, or even blow a fuse. If the wiring is aged or exposed, it can disconnect once soaked by rain. I once inspected a vehicle and found that water had corroded the contacts at the battery terminals. Additionally, waterproof design is crucial—some older models have poor sealing, allowing water to seep through gaps. It's advisable to avoid riding in the rain when possible and to promptly dry and inspect the wiring after rain. Regular maintenance of waterproof seals and ensuring the battery compartment is well-sealed can help reduce the likelihood of such failures.
