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.

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.

This is definitely a slick deal. I still ride my 2019 Yamaha Urban Rush with a lot of joy. The Wabash RT at this price is super tempting but I'll stick to what I have for now.

36V 250w (probably more like 500w) was the norm pre-covid for mass production. 48v is now the standard. Just Google "how many volts is the standard e-bike and you'll get, "The most common e-bike voltages are 36 volts, 48 volts, and 52 volts, with 48 volts being the most common." ). Even Rad bikes are 48v 750w now.
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...

Juiced Bikes have had 52v for a year or two. Thinking that will be the new norm. The mid-drive is much more powerful than the rear hub motor. Only bad thing is the battery. Yes you get two, but they still won't last very long. You will be charging batteries constantly if you ride daily. I have the Ripcurrent with 52v 15.6 and I can get 50 to 60 miles easily in Eco mode. charging takes 6 to 8 hours. It is a PITA and my only gripe.

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

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

For a commuter I'd go with the Crosscore RC.
- 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.

So is it worth the extra for the x3 motor ones? Mostly for some single track and fun for the wife and I. I am new to this stuff and trying to compare the components

Sure! I have found the sizing on a few of these to be a bit on the tall standover height/short reach side of things, which results in a more upright riding position than other geometries. This is no biggie for some people, but people with short inseams can sometimes get caught out on bikes that they technically fit from a reach perspective, but can't safely stand over the top tube.

Is there a particular model you want to know more about? I can check the numbers for you.

Strange comments stating a 250w mid drive is weak. I've ridden 750w hub drive bikes but I'm currently on a Yamaha middrive bike. I tow my two kids in their Burley up San Francisco Bay Area hills with ease. Even powerful hub drives will heat stroke from that activity. Middrives use the rear gearing like a torque multiplier. A hub drive has one ratio in which they're the most efficient. Hub drives are great for flat land but middrives are king on hills.
