Yamaha has updated two of its biggest e-bicycle models for 2025. The Crosscore RC and the Wabash RT both feature a new PWseries S2 powertrain that’s 16% lighter, 20% more compact and puts out even more torque.
The Wabash RT is the firm’s gravel e-bike, and the new powertrain adds to a spec list that includes a Yamaha ML500 battery pack, Shimano GRX drivetrain, dual-purpose 700x45c tyres, and a digital display. The Crosscore is an urban-focused machine with the same motor and battery tech in a more relaxed, upright, and comfortable package. It features balloon tyres, 63mm travel Suntour forks, and an aluminium battery-in-tube frame design.
There is no word on prices as yet, but the new machines are set to arrive next year.
