I had worn out or damaged my rear hub back in 2022. Been only 2 years since I purchased the Civante. Trek bike shop in my town had replaced both wheel with their Bontrager brand wheels. They didn't do any modifications just swapped and works fine. I never thought or bothered dealing with Yamaha...

Update - Both were sold

anyone need an extra battery, I have 2 Yamaha batteries for a Civante for sale at $600 each. Just reach out to me. I was going to put them on ebay. I ran a 118 mile bike ride in Colorado over 3 tall mountains and used 4 batteries for the ride, had a SA halfway meet me to change out the first 2...

Bicyclista who did your motor overhaul?

Yamaha warranty only covers first replacement none afterwards. I purchased replacement motor and installed myself. I finally had contact with Yamaha dealer service manager and investigating if motor could be evaluated as to failure and cost to repair it. Yamaha is deeply discounting their ebikes...

For those that have been looking for replacement batteries, I went to China and got a Yamaha motor battery replacement that is 17 Ah, stock Yamaha battery is only 13 Ah, and for 1/3 the price of a stock one. Works great and more battery capacity has extended my mileage range. I ride in faster...

Got mine from Amazon...

my spare battery set me back $900 and a well worthwhile investment. I needed a second batter to complete a Century ride. I could get 65 miles from first battery running it conservative and go the remaining 35 miles at higher assist as I got tired. When I looked into price and availability of the...
