Other Civante owners - how many miles do you have on your bike and did you have any motor issues??
Now gone thru my second motor, reached 12,500 miles on first that was replaced under warranty.
Second motor wore out after another 8,500 miles.
Dealer I purchased ebike from is no longer an authorized dealer and has no access to parts system, so I purchased a replacement motor from an authorized parts dealer and replaced it myself.
I would like to locate a shop that could repair the worn out motor and make it functional again.
I do at least 9,000 miles a year and don't want to have to purchase another new motor if I could get them repaired instead.
I am able to purchase any of the parts inside the motor, just wouldn't know what is bad and needs replacing
 
Maybe give these guys a call...

Is your motor out of warranty? Are you facing a voided or expired factory warranty and hesitant to invest in a costly replacement? Tired of your eBike motor ...

Was the motor out of warranty or if the 2nd one died (if first replaced by yamaha, does that mean the 2nd one did not come with a warranty from yamaha?
Last, if a dealer one buys the bike from closes can we simply go to a different dealer for warranty work (one would hope/think)?
 
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 due to excess inventory. I could purchaase a third Civante for only $1600. Very tempting. I might be able to repair motor. Internal motor is a 1 piece assemby to replace. Nmight order and see if it fixes it.
 
My Civante will be 4 years old Novemebr 13. It has 10,750 miles. I’ve charged the battery 211 times and haven’t noticed a decline in the battery. I weigh 150 lbs, may not be as strong as you and don’t regularly push the bike hard and fast. I typically average 11 to 12 mph. Most of my. Riding Is in Eco mode with an occasional Standard mode. My early maintenance issue was the creeking sound in the motor mount. It was resolved with shims.
Unlike my analog bike, I feel the life of the bike’s motor and battery is not eternal and repairs will eventually take money and may also take the bike out of service for weeks. Like the owner of an aging car now out of new production, I’ve decided to move on to a new Wabash And let my son ride the Civante into the ground.
 
I don't have a Civante but I have a 2016 Haibike AllMtn with a Yamaha PW motor. It has worked flawlessly all these years. At about 15,000 miles I had eBike Motor Repair overhaul it as preventive maintenance, replacing all seals and bearings. I am now close to 20,000 miles, with no problems.
 
I'm gonna take a wild guess it was
