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.

It's all about style but wabash RT has better components.
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.
Proper 750W middrive with high torque can help you get in such places where if you stuck - only helicopter can save you.

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.
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
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.
