Very happy 2019 CrossCore owner and just bought a new Crosscore RC with the wicked 60% off + free battery + 5 year warranty deal Yamaha is running right now. 1. Are the displays swappable? I really prefer the more robust / functional display on the 2019, and the USB plug is handy. I see that...

Replying in this old thread with some additional info. The Bluetooth capabilities of the Yamaha bikes also work well with fitness watches like Garmin. However if you are a relatively serious athlete take the power readings with a big grain of salt; the power meter on the bike is not well...

I’m looking to upgrade from a class 1 yamaha mid drive bike. I want more speed and range for longer trips for a hilly area. Looking for bikes with a front suspension, a torque-sensing mid-drive with 80+nm, and big battery capacity (or dual batteries). I’d like to be able to do 35-40 mile trips...

So I did a preorder on one of these bikes, and they are finally shipping this month after a bunch of pandemic-related supply chain delays. To answer a few of the questions above about drive train: they took a hub motor and mounted it fixed to the frame behind the seat post between the panniers...

Perhaps by 100% assist he meant doubling the rider power? That would be the eco setting on my Yamaha. I usually ride at 250%. But for kicks let's do the math on that. Let's assume on a flat, a 60lb bike, 185lb rider in an upright-ish position takes 650w of total power to move 28mph (I'm adding...

I've put about 5000 spectacular miles all-weather miles on my Yamaha Cross Core, and I'm looking to get something faster that I can practically use as a car replacement for longer errands / trips. I'm an enthusiastic and fit cyclist who enjoys pedaling, and want something that is bike-like- I'm...

I really wish the SpeedBox 2 had a configurable speed limit. My jurisdiction limits ebikes to 25mph, and I don’t really want to go faster than that. I may buy one anyway hoping that I can find a good speed / effort / battery consumption balance by adjusting the assist level for terrain. I...

Looks like SpeedBox has released a SpeedBox 2 specifically for Yamaha-branded ebikes. Has anyone tried it yet?
