It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

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.
