These are absolutely bonkers deals. If you're at all curious about trying mid-drive ebikes, this is probably the best you're going to do for a while.

I have experience servicing these Yamahas and they are excellent bikes with a few minor issues. First and foremost, they run Yamaha motors, which means you're going to need a Yamaha dealer if something goes awry there. I have not yet run into any motor issues in my experience with these, but note that Yamaha dealers are few and far between in some areas.

Another issue is that geometry on these is a little funky. The road and hybrid bikes are built off the same frame that is sized small, medium, and large, but really fits more like medium, medium-large, and real big. Measure out your current ride and verify that it'll fit you before you hit 'order.' I haven't had luck getting people much smaller than 5' 4" on the small size.

The final issue is that they run their own proprietary rear derailleur hanger on many of the frames, which makes a basic repair (rear der hanger replacement) a bit frustrating, as you have to track down the right part from, again, a Yamaha dealer. If you grab one of these bikes, order a couple of spare hangers at the same time, if possible, and make your future repair needs that much easier.

Otherwise, like I said above, bonkers deals.
Pretty slick deal here. I'm an avid cyclist, mostly mountain biking. Lots of bikes over the years, and I even have an eMTB and a street ebike, both of which I don't ride a whole lot because I enjoy the workout of a normal bike. These Yamaha eMTBs are a little dated. Most people prefer 29" wheels, and 27.5+ started fading away around 2019. My eMTB is actually 27.5+, while all my current regular MTBs are 29", and the 27.5+ is fine, but if I had a choice at the same price, I'd go 29er for sure. The smaller wheelsize might be a benefit though if you're smaller, like under 5'8". The 500wh battery is okay, but most new eMTBs are putting out 630-700wh. Not a big deal unless you plan on riding MTB trails for more than 2.5 hours straight, which most people are not going to do, either because of lack of fitness or lack of free time. The third thing that I don't care for is the lack of a bottle cage, as I prefer to not have to wear a backpack if I can. Not the end of the world, but that kind of sucks. The 4th con is the speed sensor is located in the rear hub, which can make swapping rear wheels an issue. That was a lame engineering decision IMO. My 5th criticism is purely subjective, but these bikes are kind of fugly. The newer bikes look much more conventional and well integrated with the motor and battery. Other than that stuff, these bikes are legit. The Yamaha motor is one of the best, easily on par with Shimano, Brose, and Bosch. The geometry is pretty decent for an ebike, although the chainstays are a little long. Components across the all models are good. Nothing needs upgraded right away. Yamaha warranty length is best in the business, but not sure how actual service is.

Regarding the drop bar vs flat bar for the road bikes, looking at the geometry tables, I notice the stack height is pretty low, at least in the largest size. That would make using the drops rather uncomfortable for me. Also, the longer width of the flat bar will provide more stability compared to narrow drop bars, which is something to really consider for a bike that can sustain 28 mph. Just something to think about.

The components are great, there is no way you could build this bike this cheap, and the warranty to boot. Even though I have two I have build from the frame up I am tempted to pick this one up.

I'm looking at the Moro 07 for $2500. Can we even get a non-electric XT caliber for that price? This seems like an amazing price right?

Wow. This is a great deal. I did not have a plan to buy one but this deal is very good deal. I wanted road/gravel e-bike even though it's a little heavy since I Wanted under 35lbs but I could not resist the price. Also free extra second battery, this is very nice deal.

Quote from SlickCrayon1512 :
Good bike but may not fit in good ebike for most people looking for power and can compensate on the "bike" part. 250w nominal and 500w max is weak ass and usually used in the usual $200 ebike. Thought for such a high end bike they would at least put a 1000w...

This is a mid drive, 250w is the norm for that and completely adequate.

Fantastic bikes, but no step through for the wife, and no XL frames for me.

Would it be good for commuting on main streets about 4 miles each way, with big hills?
Was thinking to get a good ebike for commuting. But unlike the idea of this one because I could also use it for fun rides on the weekends.
My concern is the top speed on commuting and range.

I can only ship to a motor sports location a couple hours away. I assume they will NOT do assembly? Who do you work with during the 5 year warranty - the pickup location or Yamaha direct?
