Water resistance is a component-specific rating, not permission to submerge the bike or pressure-wash it. Check which hardware and revision a documented IP rating describes before applying it to your 72V ONYX.

Service or Water Damage
If the bike has been submerged above the pedal crank or exposed to pressure washing, water intrusion into the main body can damage electrical components including the controller and hall sensors.
If issues appear after recent service (such as a tire change or motor work), re-check all connections and installation points.
