Neither rain nor a bit of snow are a huge problem for commuting on an e-vehicle. In some countries even riding on regular bikes in the snow is perfectly normal. So it’s more of a people issue than a device issue.
Yes, on icy compact snow you can ride a bike issueless. Definitively not on partially molten snow, yes you can ride a bike when it rain, no special issues, except you reach your destination very wet. You can do the same in hot summers, reaching your destination equally wet, and smelling.
It's not a people issue, it's a desperate propaganda issue to being able to sell the modern city, the perfect way to enslave people pushing all back to the classic proletariat.
They know cities are absurd. They say they are efficient, of course, it's efficient build big buildings using some just to sleep and some just to work, occupied 50% of the time, keeping commuting between them "but hey, at a 15' range!", they know the city is made to consume, producing a far bigger slice of rubbish than spread living, because you just ride a scooter and so you buy small things, you eat ready made food and so on, a gazillion of packages to the bin, and in your own free time you go outside just to consume services. There is nothing else in a city. With this model you can push people to the zero ownership, rent anything, and to rent you need to work, as the owner of the city, who do not live there, offer. A social score in the middle.
The people problem is that many accept such model. They like the idea "hey, renting anything meaning far less to take care and think of", "hey, no need to have money for capex" and so on.
