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.

I'm very interested in the Crosscore for my 1 day a week commute to work. My only issue is that I'm 6"3 230lbs and live up til from work. Going in will be no issue Im worried about the ride home. Besides that it hits all the my points, I even have a dealer not far from me. I'll check it out tomorrow after work.

Quote from dwcanker :
It doesn't take 500 watts to move an extra 25lbs, come on dude. I've carried an extra 25+lbs lugging a chainsaw and tools in a back pack to clear downed trees on trails on my regular old mtn bike. You feel 25lbs but I still make it up the hills with my normy little legs putting out 200-300 watts on most climbs. You just do it a bit slower. Any rider that can put out a sustained 400 watts is in incredible shape, we are talking pro like elite pro.
Firstly, I didn't say it takes the entire 500w to move 25lbs, it takes a decent proportion of that. That is why its not comparable to look at power output from a rider on an traditional bike and say its equal to rider output plus motor output on an ebike. This applies even more so on hills where lifting extra weight takes a lot of energy.

And second, 25lbs is nothing? come on dude yourself, that's like carrying a whole extra mountain bike with you. Try that for a 3 hour hilly mt bike ride and see how tired you are at the end of it.

Recently moved to Chicago and have been thinking of getting rid of my car. Not familiar with bikes but this bike is a mountain bike right? Does it make any practical difference if I get a mountain bike, road bike, or some other type of bike for getting around the city?
Crossfire RC might be good commuter bike but if you like speed. Wabash RC might be better because it's drop bar. Much more benefit for wind resistance.

I have and many times and also had to deal with cutting and clearing trees and yes I was tired. 25lbs compared to my 175lbs yeah again I feel it but mostly because it is flopping around on my back. I still don't think people get how much power 500 watts is plus that is 500 watts plus whatever you are doing. Again I'm normy rider that does 200-250 watts on sustained climbs. Throw an extra 500w and at me and I am hauling up everything even with an extra 25lb, even 100lbs. Christ I just did a ride last week with two beginners on ebikes 500-600 watt ebikes and they destroyed me any time they wanted too climbs and flats. Put them on a regular bike and they would have been walking nearly every climb. We had two fast guys with us on regular bikes too and I'm sure the ebikers could have destroyed them as well except they were leading the ride and the ebikers didn't know the trails.

I agree 500W is a lot (that is peak though, I think this motor is 250 norm). All I'm saying is its not a 1:1 comparison to compare the power outputs of ebike vs traditional without factoring in the extra weight. And also many other variables like rider weight, elevation gain etc.

Also I appreciate the work you do to clear the trails, thanks!

Laughable specs for the price. You can get a cheaper bike that can go 28mph and has a torque sensor.
From a reputable brand, with quality components, that a local shop will service?

The timing of this sale is insane for me. I'm sure that I'll be flamed for this, I bought an Lectric XPeak just a few weeks ago. I just wanted something basic that could save me some walking and bring cargo through forest service roads, which can have a lot of inclines and very rough surfaces. Paying a bit more for something of this level and reputation is a no-brainer. Ended up ordering the MORO 07 / Small / Raven Silver through ebikes508. Might just keep the Lectric for guests on casual rides.

Amazing deal. Thank you.

A Turbo Levo is 250W nominal, 500+ peak very similar to the Yamaha.
That makes sense why the torque figures are so close. So then this is an excellent deal.

The Yamaha has a torque sensor. Their "quad sensor" system includes torque. Not sure why they make a big deal out of the speed sensor, but even their older triple sensor system had torque https://www.yamahabicycles.com/technology/

25 lbs is not nothing, but it doesn't take a "decent portion" of the motor to carry that extra weight. Since it's all based on physics, there are actually calculators online that can estimate this.

I put in for a 175lbs person on this 50lb bike going 15mph off-road on level terrain. It estimates it would take 257 watts of total power to go that speed.

If you reduce the bike to 25lbs, it goes down to 237.5 watts. that's just a difference of 20 watts to carry an extra 25 pounds of weight.

It's not nothing for humans since we get tired, but that's pretty minimal for a motor.

As others have stated, yes, you can get a cheaper bike, that can go 28mph and has a torque sensor. No one is arguing against that. But the components on that bike will likely be junk and have a rear hub motor from Bafang (or worse). These are in a different league than the example bike you're referencing.

And an inclinometer/yaw sensor for the "auto" setting. Those who don't understand won't (not referring to you, but the previous person you replied to).

I freely admit that I bought such a bike just a short time before I learned of this sale. I'm not really a cycling enthusiast of any kind, but for a $500 difference in what I paid, there's zero comparison. (I did end up buying the MORO 07 though, so the difference was more for me.) This is just looking at the Yamaha brand reputation, warranty, and a few basic specs alone. Really wish that this deal had come earlier, but I don't mind keeping the other bike as a spare.

Not worth to talk with person who does not know anything about bikes.
Yamaha is reputable company. Not like companies just order Chinese bike manufacturers then selling them to US customers.
I have not seen this kind of insane bike deals for 7 years.

Came here because of the presence of zzzquil in my system as I go to bed and my misreading of the deal price as $19.19. I understand my mistake and will go ahead and see myself out. Happy peddling, everyone... or not peddling?

Just have good night, everyone
