That's because ozone from the electric motors will degrade the tires and tubes. Probably the cable housings, bearing seals and plastic handlebar tape too. Best not to put it right near a heater vent either - heat, dust and radical temperature changes aren't good for anything.

I'm with redrhodie though. Keep it where you'll see it regularly. Even if you have to move it around when company comes - well, there's a topic for conversation
