Yamaha: eBike pioneer since 1993
It was nearly 30 years ago that Yamaha launched the world’s first production eBike. Initially aimed at commuters and shoppers, the original Yamaha PAS was a revolutionary new concept that will go down in history as the spark that ignited the whole eBike movement. The PA26 experience set Yamaha on the path to becoming a major producer of eBikes for the Japanese market during the past three decades, as well as a key manufacturer of eBike System which are powering many of today’s eBikes sold within the European market.
Embracing the age of the two-wheel Electric Vehicle
Announced in early 2022, Yamaha’s Switch ON strategy confirmed the company’s entry into the world of electric personal mobility and outlined its ambitions to become a leading brand in the two-wheel Electric Vehicle market. Designed to inspire a new generation of customers who are looking for zero emission personal transportation for sport, leisure and commuting, the forthcoming line up of Yamaha eBikes, scooters and pedelecs adds another dimension to personal mobility.
MORO 07, WABASH RT and CROSSCORE RC: Three new Yamaha eBikes for 2022
One of the most exciting new chapters in Yamaha’s history is about to be written with the launch of three eagerly awaited new eBikes for 2022 covering the MTB, gravel and urban sectors.
The company’s experience in the production of eBikes and compact drive units is second to none, and the new Yamaha line up has been holistically developed with the PW Series drive units and is imbued with the company’s dynamic DNA.
Aimed at a wide variety of riders from existing Yamaha motorcycle and scooter owners who appreciate the strong brand values through to customers looking for a good price/performance ratio combined with trusted technology, the Moro 07, Wabash RT and CrossCore RC will be available exclusively through Yamaha’s network of Powered Two Wheel dealers.
Yamaha MORO 07: Ride without limits
Moro 07 is Yamaha’s premium eMTB with a unique chassis design featuring a Dual Twin frame and high-torque PW-X3 drive unit that have been developed in unison to deliver smooth and powerful performance on the most challenging mountain single track.
Instant power
The new generation PW-X3 is Yamaha’s smallest, lightest and most powerful drive unit weighing just 2.75kg and features an ultra-compact design that gives a narrow Q-Factor that enables the rider to achieve their best performance. A key feature of the PW-X3 is its Zero Cadence technology that gives instant power delivery at the slightest pedal input, giving its rider a real advantage in the tightest situations.
Developing 85Nm, this class-leading drive unit gives an outstanding torque to weight ratio and provides high power at high cadence for strong performance on steep hills and in sandy or muddy terrain.
A significant characteristic of the Moro 07 is the way that the PW-X3 drive unit delivers a lightweight feel at speeds over 25km/h, and this has been achieved by the fitment of newly developed gears and freewheels that reduce mechanical loss, giving a natural and responsive feeling when pedalling at higher speeds.
Unique Dual Twin frame
This quality eMTB is designed to provide excellent all round handling that enables its rider to enjoy new challenges on the toughest terrain from technical single track to fast fire roads. A key feature is the unique Dual Twin frame that features dual top tubes and down tubes that are designed to give a finely tuned rigidity balance that delivers a confident chassis handling character together with plenty of surface feedback and accurate feel.
Moro 07’s Dual Twin chassis has been designed alongside the PW-X3 drive unit, making it the first holistically developed premium eMTB – and the drive unit’s compact dimensions and low weight have enabled Yamaha’s engineers to achieve idealised chassis dimensions, notably excellent ground clearance and a compact wheelbase for increased agility.
Premium equipment
The PW-X3’s small physical size has also enabled the design of an innovative new 150 mm travel rear suspension system with RockShox Super Deluxe Select + mounted between the twin top tubes. RockShox LYRIK SELECT Charger forks offer 160mm travel for sure-footed front suspension action, and Maxxis 27.5 x 2.6-inch tyres give the traction and flex needed for effective riding together with a high degree of surface feel. Magura MT5 brakes deliver power with feel, and the gearset is a premium Shimano XT 1 x 12 for smooth shifting and effective drive.
Interface X with Smartphone connectivity
The stem-mounted Yamaha Interface X gives a tidy cockpit handlebar area and features ergonomic mode assist buttons as well as a colour-coded assist mode indicator and capacity indicator for the integrated Yamaha 500Wh battery. Bluetooth® Low Energy Technology enables smartphone connectivity via compatible apps, and Interface X is compatible with many cycle computer brands.
Colours and sizes
Moro 07 is offered in three sizes and is available in Icon Blue and Raven/Silver.

Holistic development with attractive price/performance ratio
The chassis and drive unit on all Yamaha eBikes including the Wabash RT have been developed in unison in order to achieve the best balance between the power output and chassis handling characteristics. This is a key factor in achieving the Wabash RT’s extremely natural, enjoyable and lightweight riding experience.

Omnichannel: a seamless buying experience for Yamaha eBike customers
To ensure that every customer experiences the highest levels of satisfaction from their initial enquiry right through to the purchase and delivery of their new eBike, Yamaha has developed an Omnichannel distribution system that delivers a seamless buying experience from start to finish.
The heart of the system is a new e-commerce platform working in partnership with the new network of eBike Experience Centres operating within Yamaha’s existing European PTW network. The key advantage of the Omnichannel system is that customers can visit a Yamaha eBike Experience Centre to see and feel the eBike, take a test ride and seek advice from the fully trained dealer personnel before placing their order with confidence.
Once they have chosen their new Yamaha eBike the customer can go online to confirm their purchase and arrange home delivery or pick up at the dealer. This new industry-leading system is designed to offer customers the best combination of on site and online services – and Omnichannel removes the uncertainty that is sometimes associated with a purely virtual sales experience where there is no physical element or human interaction.
