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.

I just got a Gasgas Trail 3.0 for 3k. For $1k less I'd ride the. Crap out of the Moro and love the extra battery for when my heavy wallet wears the first batt down 🤣.
Oranges or Apples, I'd be giving up a higher spec...
- 29"
- Fox factory
- Carbon forward frame
- XL for my 6'6"
But gain a better motor and pay 2/3. That's a stupid amount of fun in a $2K bike. I'm struggling to resist buying one to get the wife on trails or possible for my son grow into 🤔

Aka, do you bite now or just wait until next year's clearance?
FWIW - They've had a ton of orders. I'm picking up mine in person this week, but I was told earlier today that new orders may be 3 weeks out for shipping orders. Not sure if they have all the inventory locally or will be getting inventory deliveries to fulfill them all. Just a heads up, they're legit but patience may be needed!
Edit: got charged. Hasn't shipped yet

I have been a cyclist for over 30 years and buying selling high end bikes for a lot of that time. I think the overall ebike and regualr bike pricing needs to adjust down slightly, but this is a huge move for yamaha. 60% off is pretty nuts and aggressive enough that it has to be due to company specific needs and not the market as a whole.
That being said, i nearly bought a Specialized Levo Expert on their sale last year which was around 40% off. I would imagine most bikes sold this year are at an asp 20%, or more, off of list.
I ordered a Moro-07 and Crosscore RC for the GF. They are both crazy good value, not just relative to current pricing but even pre covid pricing. Im stoked to finally have a good jump into the ebike game as a supplement to my acoustic yeti sb130. Thought i might have to sell the acoustic and/or go one or the other. With this deal i can afford to keep both.
The crosscore will be great for the gf to be able to do gravel and road rides with me when we camp and tour. I can ride acoustic and she can set the pace and tag along. Excited to get her involved and she is as well. I love ebikes for that reason, making all ability levels equal and able to ride together.
I have put this deal to several coworkers and friends and i have had at least 3 people i know also pull the trigger. All of them are also avid cyclists, so that shows other people with knowledge in the industry also see the value enough to spend their money.
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.

Wabash RT - gravel, it's OK for city/road too, but because of road handlebar and less weight it's much better for long distance. Much better gearset, gravel GRX series mix, work for long time but more pay to replace.
The choice is clear - Wabash RT, only groupset parts alone cost aprrox.$650.
Both with PWseries ST motor, Max.Torque 70 Nm (normal 50Nm ?), not steep/long uphill OK (no loaded panniers).
There 3rd bike exactly between them by specs and price, CIVANTE - road bike with Tiagra gearset, aprrox.same weight as Wabash. But (I suppose) older/weaker motor SE Max.Torque 50 Nm, mostly for flat road.
Very important - in NYC e-bikes must be certified UL 2849, cannot find any info on Yamaha web-site.
I wish Yamaha can make 750W middrive motor with at least normal 150Nm (not max/peak)...

Does this mean the bike is shipped to me, from this bike place, or am I picking the bike up from them? Do I need to assemble it, etc?
Appreciate any help\replies. Thank you!
