Are Trek, Giant and Yamaha the only bike companies that sell Class 3 Road Bikes (meaning with drop bars, 700cc tires and a double chain ring) with a minimum of a 70nm torque mid-drive motor, a minimum of a 500 watt battery and at least a Tiagra group set (preferably with a 105 or Ultegra group...

Do you know how many nm of torque we need to apply? I’m in the process of buying a torque tool

Mine started creaking too. I wasn’t sure where it was coming from. Did the greasing make your bike creak-free?

What do you mean by play? It moves left to right?

I went to my LBS, he looked up the DT Swiss HE 1800 wheels I want and he said since Yamaha uses standard Hub components he can just pop out DT Swiss’ flange and put in Yamaha’s.

I went to my LBS, he looked up the DT Swiss HE 1800 wheels and he said since Yamaha uses standard Hub components (12x100 front and 12x142 rear) he can just pop out DT Swiss’ flange and put in Yamaha’s so the lock fits in there for the magnet. Did he miss something? Were you not able to do that?

Do you think I could take DT Swiss rims (HE 1800) to a bike shop and have them install the Yamaha hub on the Swiss rims? They replace spokes all the time, right? Couldn’t they just undo the Swiss rims to install the Yamaha hub?

I appreciate you taking the time to post your experience! I’m also wanting to get new wheels (HE1800 DT Swiss). I do know the hub speed sensor IS patented by Yamaha. The placement of the sensor on the hub is what gives Yamaha bikes the Zero Cadence support. I do hope we can find a way to get new...

Do you happen to know how we can find out if a wheel from DT Swiss is compatible with the speed sensor? Another member has been trying to find a hub that has the grooves required for the speed sensor to work but 3 months later and he’s still at a road block. I am looking at getting the HE 1800...

I called Yamaha yesterday to find out about compatible wheels. They’re going to call me today after they do some research. I’ll make sure to ask about the grooved end cap for the speed sensor. Do you think I could take the DT Swiss rims to a bike shop and have them install the Yamaha hub on the...

Yamaha has a new “ST” motor with 4 sensors (the 3 we have plus one for incline/decline detection) which gives the motor more data to determine how much power to deliver on ascends and descends. I would wait until the bikes get the new motor before spending $3,400 on the Civante. Yamaha usually...

Were you able to get a new wheel set for your Civante? I believe this is the rear hub we have: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/grx-10-speed/FH-RS470.html. I am looking at getting the HE 1800 Spline from DT Swiss for my Civante...

It is the best kind of speed sensor bc itprovides zero cadence motor support, which is most beneficial on steep climbs and quick stop-and-go situations. This kind of rear hub sensor is patented by Yamaha so I don’t believe anyone else can use this kind of sensor. The speed sensor is not attached...

I believe all Yamaha bikes (except the new YDX-Moros) use the 12 x 142 Shimano rear freehub. I’m sure any bike shop can easily help you find compatible wheels. Have you asked your LBS for recommendations?

Giant manufactures the frame for Yamaha (probably bc Yamaha manufactures the motors for them). Maybe that’s why the frame doesn’t have a lifetime warranty?? Not sure. Yeah Schwalbe and Continental seem to be on all the high end bikes. Nice suggestions. I have the Shimano PD-M540 clipless pedals...

Who provides a longer than 3-year warranty on the battery and motor? I agree, the fender/light setup is expensive. I like the Continental tire suggestion. It only has 2 reviews on Amazon. Do you own these tires? Is the puncture resistance better than the Level 5 protection of the CST XPEDIUM...

What did you end up buying??

Wow, nice!

You’re welcome. I live in California and when I was calling all the Yamaha authorized dealers within a 2-hour driving radius form me (using this website https://www.yamahabicycles.com/store-locator/ ) I found out that many shops were expecting a 2nd shipment from Yamaha from April - June. Good...

Yeah, for 1/2 the price I don’t blame you. Wow, what a great deal!!
