What does this mean for riders?
The Pure x McLaren Papaya has a water resistance of IP65.
The Pure Electric Papaya carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction. In practical terms, you can confidently ride through light rain, wash the scooter under a gentle hose, and not worry about dust or splashes compromising the internal electronics. This level of sealing helps keep maintenance simple, since a quick rinse won’t harm the motor or circuitry.
However, the IP65 classification does not mean the scooter is ready for full submersion or exposure to powerful water jets like those at a car wash. Deep puddles, flowing streams, and high-pressure washer use remain off-limits to prevent water from seeping into sensitive components. Riders who plan to encounter only typical urban rainfall, dust, or routine cleaning will find this protection ideal, while those expecting heavy flooding or subaqueous crossings should exercise caution.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pure x McLaren Papaya
An IP54 rating indicates a scooter’s first digit (5) shields against dust ingress to a limited extent, while the second digit (4) blocks water spray at any angle up to 60° from vertical. This means models like Gotrax G7 Pro can handle light rain or road spray but aren’t built for jet cleaning or submersion.
According to ScooterRank’s data, the top five water-resistant scooters all hold an IP54 rating: Gotrax G7 Pro, HALO KNIGHT T102, Gotrax G7, HALO KNIGHT T107Pro and Ausom F1 Max. These models offer balanced protection against dust and moderate rain while maintaining cost and weight efficiency.
After you ride in wet conditions, wipe down your scooter with a dry microfiber cloth to remove moisture and debris, focusing on seals, connectors and hinges. Allow components to air-dry indoors, then inspect for water ingress. Apply silicone spray to rubber gaskets periodically to renew seals and prevent corrosion.
