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?

Fuck it, just ride!

I can't speak to your ride, but I have no hesitation riding my ebike in the rain. I've got a Shimano mid drive designed for EMTBs, if it can handle muddy MTB trails a little rain isn't going to hurt it

Most ebikes have decently water-resistant controller housings. I'd avoid a serious downpour if possible, but it probably wouldn't be the end of the world if you get caught in one, and light rain is no problem at all.
