E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 How far do you hope a commuter can take you before the battery needs to be recharged? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Subscribed. Very thorough review of the Yamaha Cross Core. I've owned a Yamaha PW powered Haibike Full FatSix since winter, 2016/17. My PW is basically what the 2023 ST motor is, today. My long term ownership observations which should easily apply to any prospective buyer of this Yamaha: In 19,000 plus miles of riding the bike (and being a fat tired, dual suspension ebike, I have pretty much ridden exclusively in the High Power setting), there have been zero issues with the motor, the display, the motor control switch or the 4 batteries I have for this bike (the original 400wh supplemented with 3 additional 500wh batteries, all externally mounted unlike this Cross Core). Range: Riding exclusively in High Power; average of 77 RPM, I'll travel at an average speed of 13 mph. At High Power, my range has always been a solid near 40 miles of range. I do this by spinning the pedals lightly and keeping a watchful eye on the power meter, keeping the power output of the motor to a minimum, which gets the max mileage out of a full charge. One day trip I did 100 miles on a combination of asphalt and canal towpath trails, on my 400wh battery and riding exclusively in the ECO+ setting. I ended the day with over 25% battery charge remaining. Observations on that ride: Eco+ and Eco are irrelevant for a fat tired ebike with alot of friction drag from those tires. It's where I began being a real convert to riding in High power! These new Yamaha bikes are a great bargain in what is a superior ebike drive system. If there were a beef I had with Yamaha Ebikes USA, it's that they can better refine these bikes by offering a piggyback 500wh external battery on that great big open space between the top and downtubes. That would create a real 100 mile plus range using a combination of High and Standard power settings.
I'm very close to purchase based on the EBR review & comments the current incentives that include an additional 500 wh battery are pretty good . Question re 2nd battery Whats the best way to maintain two batteries if one is mostly going to be stored, not carried on the bike, and at the same time preserve their longevity ? I understand the life span is typically 3-5 years for an ebike battery. Storing safely is a big concern.
As I have 4 batteries on hand (3-500wh's & the original 2016 400wh battery), I rotate batteries when using the Haibike). Storage: I keep them in my bedroom, off the charger. The room temp is consistent, which helps to not put the batteries under any kind of temperature stress. Plus it's a dry environment. I throw standard storage convention out the window that recommends storing the battery at 50-70% of charge capacity; after a ride, I simply let the Yamaha charger charge the battery to 100% and I store it for the next rides to come. To this day, my batteries still deliver a 100% charge and battery perforance is at or near 100%. I will caution, do not store in a humid or hot place like a garage. Do not grease the contacts or hose down the battery or motor. Do not, absolutely do not drop the battery. Let the Yamaha charger do it's thing and you'll find like me that you will get a very, very long life from your batteries!@@MM-iw4fv
Fantastic review! One of the very best I have ever watched. I must say I am a bit of a Yamaha expert as the Crosscore was my very first ebike. I loved the motor but hated the stiff, punishing ride. The original Crosscore did not have front suspension and came with 700x 38 tires which just made for a harsh ride. I personally felt the handlebars were too narrow for my liking and would have preferred a bit more upright riding position. I am 6'1" and even Yamahas Large size frame felt too small for me. I was told by Yamaha that since the bike was made and originated in Japan, the sizing was basically more fit for folks shorter than me. Yamaha should offer an xlarge frame since the Large seems a bit smaller than other brands Large. My Crosscore also came with a double chain ring on the front which was very rare for an ebike. The battery on mine was also not integrated with the frame. All in all Yamaha made some nice changes to this bring to bring it up to more current standards. I would like to see a suspension seat post for 3K as well as an upgraded saddle and grips to go along with a wider handlebar.
I've had my Yamaha Crosscore RC for a few days now and it's really awesome. I rode a KTM e-bike in Germany but couldn't buy one in the US. So I did my research and decided on Yamaha. I ride it on very steep hill streets here on Maui, HI and the power and range is unreal. It was not possible to buy this bike on Maui from anyone so instead I bought it through Aloha E-Bikes in Honolulu, HI and they shipped it to me on Maui. All together with shipping from Yamaha USA in California to Honolulu, then shipping from Honolulu to Maui the Crosscore cost $1600. There is nothing close to this price for this quality and the Yamaha 5 year warranty. Your great review was very helpful...Thanks Mike McCormick Maui, HI
Good luck. I'm thinking of buying it too. Do you think it's suitable for long tours? How is its performance on dirt roads? Or should I buy a gravel bike?
My first time on site as looking for the Yamaha as my local motorcycle dealer has just got them in. Fantastic and very comprehensive review. You should be proud of yourselves for what you do as you are certainly excellent. Well done and thank you. John
Wait, did I miss something? How come you didn't test this bike on Hell Hole without pedaling like you guys normally do for all your other e-bike ascent tests? BTW, the mileage max of 100+ miles is insane and very attractive, esp. to us folks who like bicycle touring. Well done, Yamaha!
This is the type of bike that interests me. Although not in my price range. The concept of building closer to resembling more like a bicycle instead of a John deere tractor with big fat tires. Doesn't even have to be mid drive. 500 watt - 750 watt hub drive would be acceptable. Upgrading the suspension could come a little further down the road. Just trying to afford something to get into the game . Thanks for your review
Do you have a projected release date for your review of the Yamaha Wabash RT? I am considering both of these bikes and would love to see your review of the Wabash. Thanks!
Nice ebike…just curious though…is there enough clearance to handle fat bike tires? I know I would have to replace front fork, but would the rear accommodate the extra width? I currently have the Wabash and I would like to add another ebike by Yamaha. Thanks
I'm more interested in the regular CrossCore without the suspension fork. Have you tested that bike? The CrossCore Specs are different: Lighter frame without a suspension fork, 700C wheels with more narrow tires and a 2x9 drive train. Motor and battery specs seem similar but is the power management software different? The CrossCore looks like a more interesting bike. Do you have plans to test it or do you have comparison data from Yamaha?
Question for you please, Where is that beautiful paved bike trail in the canyons located ?? Wish there were more paved bike trails all over in America.
They're both excellent options, and very similar in feel, simplicity, and handling. The CrossCore is a more premium option with the mid-drive and the auto mode, so it's likely to feel slightly more natural, but the LMTD V2 does a great job for its price. If you're comfortable spending more, the CrossCore is worthwhile, but if you like the Roadster V3, you know that you'll also get a great bike with the LMTD.
That one specifically is the Tactic 4 from Specialized, but it's not listed on their website. The regular Tactic appears to be the same design with slightly different color options: ebrdeals.com/SpecializedTactic
I live in Japan and our selection of mid-high end ebikes is much more limited than the states. I was looking at the Xealt but they do not have large frames, so the CrossCore is the only real alternative available. My only concern is that it costs 430k yen (~$2700) for the 2024 model. It is a significant amount of money and I'm not sure it'll really be worth it. The US model seems to have just gone on sale for less than half of that and had a free battery, so I feel like we're just getting milked dry here.
@@ElectricBikeReport Thank you! So thats's just for the rider, not the rider and the bike weight combined, like some manufacturers say? I won't be taking it to any rough terrains,
Very impressive bike for 250 watt mid drive and only a 36V 500 wh battery . I'm starting to think more of this type of bike. Just not sure it's worth passing on a Wired Freedom.
Another great review of a very nice ebike. Sadly, my back and neck no longer tolerate such a forward-leaning riding posture, so it’s not a fit for me. Too bad, because that auto mode seems pretty cool. You mention this in your written review but not here. Yamaha uses an inclinometer to tailor the amount of assist provided and probably uses it to increase range by reducing assist when it thinks you’re going downhill. It’s a feature that would enhance any ebike as I find I have to change the PAS level on my torque sensor ebike frequently as the grade changes.
@@ElectricBikeReport AWESOME!!! BTW, major props to you guys -- you guys do outstanding e-bike reviews - thank you! Happy Holidays to all of you guys and your families!
No one will ever know or be able to tell you're a class 3 (28 mph). And if you did limit it, potentially if your bike is checked, it would show as a class 3 anyway, with your limiting hack being your claim and not OEM spec. Just set the assist to eco or eco+ and you won't be able to exceed 20.
I would like the highest level of pedal assist to be very light work. Watching this review it seems like you would work up a sweat to try to keep it at 25 in a humid 90 degrees very quickly.
Can anyone who owns this bike help me out? Specifically a medium size. I need to know the height of the handlebars from the ground. I have a small elevator that I lift the front and put it in, I need to know if it'll fit.
You’re essentially paying for Yamaha’s ebike drive system on what is a well-executed but quite basic city bike platform. The question is, is that worth the money for you? I would say it depends. You’re not paying for power here. If you want mo’ powa’ then get an electric motorcycle. That’s Yamaha’s broad perspective on this, being also a motorcycle company. Basically if you want a motorized feel, get a fully motorized bike - a motorcycle. So what this is is an assisted bike carefully engineered to deliver a cycling feel, even at high levels of assistance. You’re paying for the man-machine interface. That’s why it’s so smooth and well-executed. That’s where your money goes. Is it better than Bosch? I haven’t owned a Bosch bike, but I have ridden some. Between Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano, and Brose, I would say Yamaha is the most versatile and most appropriate for city riders, bike tourers, and casual riders. Hardcore MTB’ers want Bosch’s support at very high cadences, and do not much mind its lower power at low cadences. They don’t mash very much. Brose prides itself on its extremely natural feel, but it’s hard to coax more power out of it when you really need the help. Both Yamaha and Shimano somehow nail the feel of the bike feeling very natural to ride, but offering you support when you start really feeling the weight of your climb. Of the two, Yamaha’s is better executed, IMO. I have bikes with Yamaha and Shimano systems.
Aesthetically it’s kind of an odd looking duck, like someone welded it together from parts in their basement. I don’t like that they color differentiated the battery and motor. I don’t want a bike to highlight that it’s electric. Their sale prices for this type of motor are great though.
I based on your review and bought the Yamaha Crosscore RC, however, I don't feel the motor has enough power assistant, As I can run without power for average 13 to 15mph, however, even I turned the power assist to the High, I bare can go over 20mph in a flat road. Any suggestion?

Was your range similar?
I just bought the same bike. It's lighter than the RC. I am loving it. No complaints.
Really great quality and great range. Not sure how many people are gonna spend that much on a commuter bike, but it seems to be working for them.

With light mods would this work as a decent gravel bike ? I sure would appreciate the feedback 👍
Sure, the gearing range might be slightly limiting, but it should be pretty capable with a good set of gravel tires.

My man why is no throttle on the Yamaha I have a throttle on my Velotric Discover bike and I like it buddy.🤠👍👉🌮
It would be great to have one, but this bike is super easy to pedal with max assist.

Different strokes for different folks!
It's way too expensive you can still buy a really nice motorcycle in that same price range.
Most people shopping for a bike like this aren't looking to buy a motorcycle.
The wealthier classes; stealing my ideas (as usual) which proves their level of intelligence: 0.
That would be a decent bike 6 years ago.

Same here. I want not assist. My Walmart Hyper mid drive gives me more assist than this bicycle
