Electric Bike Report
Yamaha CrossCore RC Review, 2024

Dec 2023 · John S. Bozick

This intrepid long-hauler has the look of a commuter with the handling and feel of a lightweight city bike. 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

Highs
  • Rides fast at Class 3 speeds up to 28 mph with a responsive and natural-feeling 36V, 250W mid-drive motor.

  • A 36V, 500 watt-hour battery that just won’t quit! Our range test results from the CrossCore RC were some of the best we’ve seen.

  • Quick, responsive steering and an agile feel thanks to the 640mm handlebars, 27.5”x2” tires, and mid-weight 53-lb frame.

  • Reliability, performance, and peace of mind from the full complement of name-brand parts – including a motor and battery from Yamaha.

  • Easy to use with four standard PAS settings – plus an Auto mode for a “set it and forget it” experience.

  • Fuel up the battery in just 4 hours with a fast 3-amp charger.

  • It just looks cool! The bike has three uncommon color options and an eye-catching frame design.

Lows
  • We like that an integrated taillight can be added with the optional fenders but we’d also like to see brake light functionality for improved safety.

  • The bike’s display was simple to read and operate, but at this price point we’d like to see a color display with accurate range estimates and a percentage-based battery indicator.
