I live in a climate with unpredictable and frequent rain showers. Can Soul Cycles be used in the rain?

As for weatherproofing your rig, there are steps that you can take to be prepared for rain. You can carry a motorcycle cover with you when rain threatens. If caught without shelter nearby, you can always throw the cover over the entire Soul Cycle, and wait out the rain shower. Without question, the electronics used on a Soul Cycle can be damaged by exposure to water. Depending on the system you purchase, the electronics and battery are often tucked inside the music cabinet, but wiring and connectors, knobs and switches, as well as materials such as wood and/or leather may be exposed.

Occasionally you will have to get to a performance in the rain with your Soul Cycle. You may have an unavoidable performance commitment or mobile party scheduled.

If use in the rain is important to you, we can recommend or design a custom system with fewer vulnerable parts exposed to rain. We can varnish the bamboo and wood, avoid using leather, use only speakers without paper cones, and/or provide a way to plastic bag the controls and music cabinet quickly.

It's probably impossible to avoid water contacting your Soul Cycle system. But with preparation you can avoid permanent damage to your Soul Cycle rig.

I got stuck in a downpour with the Soul Cycle Head Unit...

...but it still works like a charm. It started really comin' down hard. I would guess that my head unit and speakers were in the rain for almost thirty minutes. I was prepared though. I had two plastic bags covering the head unit & my ipod, as well as plastic bags covering the speakers. That's all it took to cover it up. Both the ipod and soul cycle head unit still work like a charm.

The soul cycle head unit is so small that you can easily put a plastic see through bread bag over it - two or three just to be safe, tape it with some packing tape and you should be good to go.

The speakers I just put some plastic grocery bags over. You can always buy marine speakers and then you just to have be concerned with the head unit which is easily covered up.
