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.
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.

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.

36v is adequate for flat areas, but I would highly recommend 48v 750w if you are bigger, live in a hilly area or don't peddle much..
I have had all of them and now have a BBSHD w/ 48v 20w battery. 6'2" 185lbs and I would NEVER go back.
Apples vs oranges middrive vs hub motor. Do more research...

Can you share more on sizing? I am 5'8" and usually ride Mediums 17.5".

My concern is the top speed on commuting and range.
- Class 3 motor with top assisted speed of 28 mph
- better geometry for commuting. It will feel more nimble.
- Unheard of pricing for a quality Class 3 bike at $1200
- Likely plenty capable for fun weekend rides
- ability to add a rear rack, which in turn gets your work-related gear in a pannier/on a rack. So you'll be less sweaty when you get to work.
I've got a Giant e-bike with Yamaha Class 3 motor (circa 2019, so likely older model motor?). I preferred the power delivery of the Yamaha over Bosch at time of purchase. My bike's rigid (no front suspension fork) and I often include gravel trails in my commute. I would not opt to use it on technical mtb trails though. When shopping for a commuter bike, the 28 mph top assist speed was my highest priority for an e-bike commuter.

You would be fine with a simple sub 1k ebike for that. But this is nice for the price. I got my rad mission for 500 on Black Friday a few years ago and it does about 45 miles and works great. This is for someone using the bike more than 8 mile trips or it's a bit overkill because it has very nice components that wouldn't be put to much use.
Is there a particular model you want to know more about? I can check the numbers for you.
