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.

Anyway, such brand expensive FULL-SUSPENSION bikes not for city park promenade.
I'm sure, Europeans also take offload bike on car's back/roof and rides as mad outdoors.
What Yamaha supposed such bike owners should do in forest, hills, desert with 250W motor?
Usually people have 750w/1000w motors for real stuff and don't ride on it on the road at all, because it's forbidden.
"peak" using mostly as marketing bulls**t, if you'll try to ride long uphill outdoor with "peak" blah-blah - you'll just burn your motor or/and fall with injuries.
It's 250W motor, OK it's middrive but still 250W which OK only for small hills in civilized parks to shows other teens you are "cool offroad real guy" .
Dude, if someone buying full-suspension offroad bike to ride on public with all regulations - he/she is stupid poser with good salary and only such persons are real buyers of Yamaha weak 250W bikes.
Who really rides on offroad bikes - takes them on car outdoor, park car somewhere and rides as mad till the end of weekend with same mad friends, getting real fun and emotions.
MTB bikes not for the road/city.

Well-made but bad positioned and very niche product with mad price and expensive parts.
Definitely not for everyone.
No wonder Yamaha are trying so hard to sell e-bikes and even lowered the price a lot.
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.

About the same category as the Specialized Levo SLs.
Look at that front chainring, 36T? That large is built for speed. If you're mountain biking, you're changing that to a 34T or even a 32T because you need the assist on the uphill climb. That rear granny gear, 46T? Again, you'll want at least that maybe a 52 or larger.
250W is fine, on the straights without a problem. It's when you start hitting the constant uphill and rock gardens where you need that low end grunt and for extended durations.
The front fork travel, again it's not bad at 160mm IIRC
I got 7300-6250 on one side, and 7300-4200' on the other. The problem with downhill is that you still gotta comeback up. Running with a couple of Kenevos because of front fork and design. And even then, I'm changing out the rings.
You could take this to Marin, Tamalpais or even anything from foothills to SF. But if you're thinking of really mountain biking… in the literal mountains, get ready to shell out a few more bucks.
