This is 'bad'. I own 3 ebikes with Brose motors. Outstanding motors. Powerful 90nm. Quiet. Now going to yamha who screwed the North American market. Bad news.

Why is it "bad"?
Maybe Yamaha will grow it, and make it better.
Yamaha powers Giant ebikes, which are everywhere...
Maybe they'll show up in Giant ebikes...

There is a separate thread related to this.
I'm sure neither Brose is interested to lose Specialized nor Yamaha wants losing Giant.
