    Do 2020 models use the new Yamaha Drives?

    Since Giant uses the PW-X2 on their 2021 Road E+Pro, do you think Yamaha will upgrade the Civante to the new PW-X2-45 that supports 28mph and 120 cadence? https://global.yamaha-motor.com/business/e-bike-systems/products/pw-x2-45/

    GenZe closes its US operations

    I used to own a Genze. I bought a 2nd battery as a backup that I didn't end up needing. Genze is willing to give me a refund but I need to have it shipped to Pontiac, MI (the freight cost is $600. The battery costs less at $400). Do you know of a cheaper alternative to ship a lithium ion battery...

    Interview with Yamaha Motor Europe

    Maybe this explains why only the PW-X2 motor has been used in the Yamaha bikes. There are 2 other motors that could’ve launched in the USA. Back in 2019 the ST motor could’ve been put into the Wabash and in 2020 the PW-X2-45 could’ve been put into the Cevante (the PW-X2 is already being used by...

    NEW 2021 MOTOR COLLECTION (PW-X2 45) for the CIVANTE?

    I found Yamaha’s website displaying the 2021 Model Year Collection. I know the CE was launched August 2020. The PW-X2 and the ST in July 2019. And the TE in June 2018. The only motor (that I know of) being sold in the USA is the PW-X2 to Haibike and Giant. And, it is found in Yamaha’s YDX-Moro...

    Announced: Yamaha Civante - 28mph

    Deacon, I found out the same two paths you talked about re bike companies and the type of bikes they offered. I’m new to riding an ebike (and regular bike as well lol). I had no idea how to start my research with regards to being a well informed consumer of an ebike. I noticed most of the exotic...

    A Little Self Indulgent Comparison Test

    On the Civante, when I rode it down to 15% battery, it said I had 7 miles to get home on Eco. 35% of the time, I use the Civ on Standard (my friends like to ride at a steady 21mph on a 3 hour ride). 10% of the ride it’s on Eco. But 30% of the ride, I ride on turbo for steep climbs and fast...

    A Little Self Indulgent Comparison Test

    It is interesting that the Giant used less battery for the same task. I noticed the Giant bikes level of support are off by one. For example, if on the Civante Eco+ has a support level of 50%, on the Giant it has 80%. On Standard (3rd level) for the Civante, it has a level of support of 190%. I...
