It’s not every day that we, the reviewers at Electric Bike Report, have the opportunity to test an e-bike from a brand that’s nearly 70 years old. It’s equally uncommon for us to see an e-bike made by the same well-established company that manufactures its motor and battery. With those things in mind, we had high expectations for the Yamaha CrossCore RC in our
review!
One of the first things we noticed about the bike was the smooth, natural feel of its 250W mid-drive motor. With four pedal assist settings, the motor output ranges from subtle to strong; the CrossCore RC can feel just like an analog bike on the low end, or take advantage of its Class 3 speeds up to 28 miles per hour with maximum power.
