How Waterproof Ratings (IP65/IP67) Impact E-Bike Display Durability
Intro Paragraph:
For OEM buyers, the durability of an e-bike display is just as important as its functionality. Rain, dust, vibration, and heat can all impact long-term performance. This guide explains IP65 and IP67 waterproof ratings, how they affect reliability, and why choosing the right display is crucial for your B2B projects in Europe and the U.S.

Understanding IP Ratings for E-Bike Displays
The IP code (Ingress Protection) measures how well a device is protected against solids and liquids.
IP65: Dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction.
IP67: Dust-tight and can withstand immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
For OEMs, selecting displays with the correct IP rating ensures reliable daily operation and reduces warranty issues.
Why Waterproof Displays Are Critical for OEM Projects
OEM considerations:
Daily Rider Conditions: Rain, mud, or puddles should never affect display functionality.
Reduced Returns & Warranty Claims: Durable displays cut maintenance costs and improve brand reputation.
Compliance for Global Markets: European and U.S. e-bike regulations expect reliable waterproofing for safety standards.
All Haytrix displays, including H8 (TFT), H6C/F4 (LCD), and S810 (LED), meet IP65 or higher.

Testing and Real-World Performance
Durable e-bike displays undergo multiple tests:
High-pressure water jet testing
Rain simulation with outdoor lighting
Dust chamber and vibration tests
Temperature cycling (-20°C to 60°C)
These tests ensure displays remain fully functional even in extreme conditions, essential for OEM B2B clients.
Tips for OEM Buyers
When sourcing e-bike displays for your B2B project:
Always check the IP rating before bulk ordering
Consider TFT vs LCD/LED for additional protection (TFT often has better sealing)
Ask the supplier for durability test reports
Verify that customization (startup animation, connectors, protocols) does not compromise waterproofing
Conclusion
For OEM buyers, waterproof ratings are more than just a number — they directly affect reliability, rider experience, and brand reputation.
