Any thoughts or suggestions? I am new to riding and the water resistance of my ENGWE EP-2 Pro is questionable. Am I worrying too much?

I have the same bike and just ride it but I do throw a poncho over it when I park. I think just avoid torrential downpours and you'll be fine.

For what it's worth, the 20X4" 15 psi tires seem to grip very well in wet conditions: There's a pretty solid contact patch and I haven't slipped once so far.
