Your trucks are probably aluminum and will be fine, and you can run sealed bearings. Riding in the wet really isn't such a big deal. The biggest problem is spray off of the wheels.
This is too bad, because I live in Bergen, Norway, where according to statistics 65% of all days have rain. So I'd have to resort to walking two thirds of the year => No longboard for me, electric or otherwise.
Which is unfortunate, since I live in Oregon, and I used to cruise my Miniglider everywhere. When it rained, I had to resort to walking.
