Could I ask why you chose the Wabash RT over the CROSSCORE RC? I'm on the fence trying to decide.
I replied to you a couple pages back.

I prefer dropbar because wind resistance make slower. Also I was looking for gravel bike. One more thing is… wabash has better components. I used to ride both MTB and road bike then I start to have knee pain so I was looking for e-bike.
I got folding e-bike for city riding and it served me well but wabash will give me better fit. When I ride e-bike, I often ride without motor power.

If you casually use or using for city riding, crosscore will serve you well. If you don't have road bike experiences, probably it's better for crosscore because it has flat bar. My high end MTB and road bikes have good components which shift like butter but I have folding bike with low components compare to my other bikes but I don't really care much because motor will help no matter what.

Wabash has better components and most of people who experience with bikes, they will recommend to get wabash because of it but crosscore will serve well.

What's your concern?
I might be able to make decision between flat bar vs dropbar. Very different and totally personal thing. Performance will be similar. Wabash will give a few second slower but you don't race with these bikes hahaha.

They matched the yamaha direct price in store and were able to order?
No--they had me order it from the Yamaha website and just have it sent to their shop for assembly. They seem pretty cool and will warranty things if there are any issues with the motors or frame. It was worth spending the extra $100+ for me to have a shop fairly local (as opposed to getting it shipped across the country).

Interesting. Every time I try to order a moro7 I get a payment issue.

You ordered a normal Moro (yellow)? Maybe it has to do with the available stock.

Thanks for the helpful advise and concern for my safety bud. I've raced moto and have ridden street all my life and can handle 30+ mph on a bicycle.

I'm definitely in the minority these days where I MTB as being one of the few with an analog bike. Most of my circle of friends all have e-bikes so this makes it awfully tempting to get one for those days I want some extra "help". I already have a playful trail bike so it would be nice to get one with more travel. Really debating between the 05 or the Pro. It's a great deal along with an extra battery?!? That's nuts.
Looks like the main differences btw the 05 & the Pro is that the Pro has a better fork/shock (Yari/Super Deluxe+ vs Revelation/Deluxe+) and a bit better components (11-speed XT vs 12-speed Deore) but the 05 has the newer motor which makes it a little lighter. I think I would get the 07 if that was going to be my only MTB. Man. Decisions, decisions. Heck, at this price, even if I rode it a bit and didn't really like it, you could probably flip it pretty easily or make money off of it.

I decided to go with the Wasbash RT. The Crosscore has a flat bar which I'm used to but I read that it feels short to many people. ty again!

Ordered a Moro 07dual blue from e-bikes early yesterday. Like others, got a call saying 3-4 weeks out but should be sooner. So glad I waited on a good deal. Almost bought a no name emb for $2,500 at the beginning of summer. With the warranty and extra battery, this deal was a no brainer for anyone wanting to get into riding.

I ordered the Moro 7 Special Edition and the Moro 5 (for my wife) shipped to Poway. They had me in the list and said they would call me as soon as they had them assembled.

Does anyone know how hard the bike is to put together? Is it like most ebikes where yo just put on the handlebars, pedals front wheel and minor stuff or should a bike shop do it?

Wabash RT is really good deal.
I used to live in the city which was super bike friendly so I can ride with speed but when I move to other city, road conditions are bad and I need gravel bike for comfort and decent speed. Actually I was looking for regular gravel bike about $15-2k but e-gravel bike for $1700 and additional battery. No question to get wabash. You made the right choice.

You need tools first then you need to know how to adjust derailleur and other tune-ups. It's not rocket science but if you never done before bike shop should do it. If you don't do it correctly, there is high possibility that you will have serious injury.

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.
