Hey, looking for a bike commuting in NYC. Should I got for the CrossCore RC or the Wabash RT? Difference is $400 which I'm fine with, just not sure which is best suited. Thanks!
Two different style. One for flat bar, the other for gravel bike with dropbar. Wabash RT has better components and single speed. Crosscore RC has 2x system. Motor and battery is same so it will be same speed. YouTuber tested both bike and about 7 second differences because crosscore RC has flat bar and 5lbs heavier. I wanted gravel bike so I ordered wabash RT. Honestly when I ride 25+ miles, with flat bar style, wind resistance will be there so significantly but city commute might be better with flat bar especially NYC. BTW can you ride level3 bikes in NYC?
It's all about style but wabash RT has better components.

Quote from Jigged :
Other ebikes have both options for pedal assist and push power, the push power can go around 18 to 20mph. I would get this bike if it can do that. Then the off roading is a bonus for weekend fun.
Damn great deal

I think a lot of comments are perhaps ignorantly conflating mid drive motors and hub drive motors, and thinking there is any accurate comparison there in just the wattage. This is plenty of power here with 80nm of torque through the 11 speed cassette. This will likely provide a much better pedaling experience than a hub drive motor, albeit at the cost of the extra transmission upkeep (chain mostly, depending on how you ride it ofc) when compared to an arguably simpler hub drive motor.

Trying to decide: $183 tax going through local dealer but comes I suppose pre assembled and checked out, with possibly better reception by the dealer if I need some maintenance. Or E-bikes, not tax, but paying for assembly and dealing with warranty and shipping if something goes wrong.

For commute in NYC? Citi bike rental (don't forget to park and lock bike properly).
Any expensive bike outside apts will be stolen very fast. Here are big bike thieves biz with economy/middle/top specialization and pre-orders for exact models for middle/top.

Quote from rustydogg :
When it comes to mountain biking I think more experience and skill means using less electric power.
World is changing fast. If we talking not about pro sport but weekend outdoor fun - a lot of people use e-bikes in 2024.

Quote from jwing88 :
My 60 Nm emtb is plenty capable to get me over the steepest trails.
Steepest DOWNhill? Big Grin Because 60Nm (yeah, yeah, middrive, whatever) and "steepest" - no way. I'm 200lb dude + bags/backpack and even with 500W 130Nm middrive on really steep and long climbs should to walk at some point and push the bike with own hands.

Quote :
I have a 750W hub drive ebike that struggles to go up hills.
Dude, better to research and find ONE good and proper powerful e-bike than spend a lot on few pieces of garbage. (And then work/fix/service with all that iron zoo).

Proper 750W middrive with high torque can help you get in such places where if you stuck - only helicopter can save you. Big Grin

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...

Edit: People seriously cant read. My words won't change here no matter how many thumbs down. That motor is weak ass - especially for $2k. Bike is a good bike. No one is arguing that. It's Yamaha. It's good - yadayada.

The point is that a mid drive 36v 250w won't compete with any 56v 1000w or higher hub drive. The torque may be decent, but 20mph top speed? You want at least 30-40, and I expect 50 for $2000 with bafang 1000w mid drive or 1000w dual hub motor. Those are demon electric vehicles or motorcycles, and this is a weak ass dedicated high-end MTB that targets the 0.01% market of the population. You will regret buying this rather than a fast machine if you belong to the majority ebike consumers. This is for riding on a trail and give yourself a small break kind of professional MTB usage.

Don't ever think Yamaha electric motors are any good. If you know anything about electric motor, Chinese is the best, on not only quality but also longitivity and so on. I trust China's electric motors more than Japanese gas engines-so you know how reliable they are. Every single electric motor you bought will last 100x longer than any gas or diesel engine you ever had. They are totally different so don't use your experience on Yamaha gas motors to claim why Japanese electric motors are good. They are decent but that's it. A Yamaha electric motor is no better than any no name Chinese electric motor. I won't consider Yamaha is superior than any named Chinese motor, like Bafang, and in fact Yamaha is not even as good as Bafang if you know ebikes.

Update: The bike has been at this price for almost a month. Their dealers have actively advertised these, but there are still a lot of stock. In Texas they have almost 200 in one dealer. It is a good deal - but not that kind of "should buy one even if dont need it" deal. If you are in the market for a MTB, look into this. If you are not in the market for MTB, like you need an ebike or dont need a bike at all, don't recommend it.

I pulled the trigger on a Moro 07 for myself and a Crosscore for my gf. Was gonna get a specialized Levo carbon for myself but this is 1/3 the price with 95% of the spec… probably actually nicer spec, but not as good a frame. Needed something for camping and and she has wanted to come on road rides with me and this will allow her to hang with the 28mph assist there.

Brian Lopes, a world champion dh and xc mtb'r endorsed these yamaha ebikes when they first came out and swore by these in his social feeds. He is local and i almost bought one of his personal bikes when he sold it used. This price is even half of that!

Will be really interested to see how the geometry feels on the downhills. Stoked on this deal though! Lucky to have a dealer right down the street here in Laguna Beach. Would prefer more battery…700ish wh… but for this proce, had to do it

Man I wish these had 48V systems. All of my buddies are riding 48V ebikes, mainly Specialized, and I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with them. On a side note, this is not a mainstream bicycle brand such as Trek, Specialized, Giant and the like. I guess that's why some things are spec'd weird like the 27.5" tires and the 36V system. Not deal breakers considering the price but definitely not ideal.

Disregard the idiots with the terrible grammar, saying this bike is super underpowered and there are better options. Guys, please provide links to these awesome mountain bikes you speak of. This is an offroad mountain bike meant for riding up very steep hills and bombing down the mountain hitting rocks and jumps over and over again without parts failing.

It's weird that ALL of the Youtube reviews for the Yamaha ebikes come across as sponsored reviews. Can't find any reviews done by a legit eMTB channel. The geometry of the bike seems to be in the ballpark of decent engineering.

Man I was looking heavily into getting a bike before the summer in AZ hit as I just moved right by a cool mountain with trails this is so tempting but I'm afraid I'll have buyers remorse in the morning.

Oh man, I just noticed it appears that a water bottle cannot be placed inside the front triangle of this bike. Unfortunately that's a hard pass for me. I can't stand wearing the hydration backpacks. It's stupid they make pedal bikes that only support one water bottle mount but to have zero is just completely unacceptable.
