r/Yamahaebikes

I bought a used Moro 5 and everything is great except for one thing. The thumb lever to drop or raise the seat is very tight.

Is this an easy fix or something I should take to a bike to fix?

I currently own a Yamaha tmax motorcycle and it has honestly been one of the most enjoyable vehicles I’ve used for daily commuting. It’s smooth, comfortable in traffic, and has enough power that even longer rides don’t feel tiring. Because of that, I’ve started paying more attention to other Yamaha products and how they compare in terms of quality and ride experience. Recently I’ve been thinking about adding a Yamahaebikes model for lighter rides, fitness, and short weekend trips. I still want something reliable, but with more focus on exercise and relaxed riding rather than speed. I’ve been looking at different options and comparing specs, and also checking general availability and accessories on places like Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba just to understand pricing and what parts are commonly included or missing. Since I already enjoy the Yamaha tmax motorcycle a lot, I’m curious if anyone here has transitioned from scooters or motorcycles to Yamaha e-bikes. Which models would feel like the best balance of comfort, range, and ease of use for everyday riding? Also, do you think it makes sense to keep both, or does the e-bike end up replacing short trips completely once you get used to it?

Hi all, I wanted to ask if anyone has attempted to fix a motor lock-up on their Yamaha e-bikes? Specifically, the PW-SE on my Civante. It's locked up. The pedal doesn't move unless you push down hard. Has this happened to anyone? I am only around ~1.5k miles in (bought in Nov 2024, sitting in garage since Dec 2025). The dealer refuses to service my bike because it was in an accident with a car. But, the motor worked for 1000 miles after that happened, and the only thing that happened was the steering tube rotated out of alignment (everything else seemed structurally intact). With some of y'all's help I think my only recourse is to fix it up myself or replace the motor. However, I am curious to see why it locked up as it doesn't seem accident related. My only clues are the salt on the roads in winters and perhaps water getting inside it to be causing this issue. I'd be grateful for any leads/help. Thank you!

Preferably medium size, let me know if you have one for sale.
