Yamaha pw-st thoughts?

[pmcc]

Hi, I have been looking at getting an ebike for a while now and my lbs will be getting bikes with pw-st motor in my price range soon but I can't find any decent reviews of it.

I have hired a bosch gen 4 last summer which I liked and was my preference since I would know what I'm getting as I have never rode anything else.

Has anyone rode the yamaha pw-st? And any thoughts on it compared to the bosch gen 4?

I used 2 Yamaha with zero problem and just fun rides. I am pretty sure the Bosch is more expensive.
Presently i am on a Giant/Yamaha 2020 since july 8th and i would buy it again.
It just keeps on running.

Thanks, that's good to know you have found them reliable!

I have ridden many bikes with this and other motors. The PW-ST is one of my favourites and it is one of Yamaha's most widely used motors. Clearly proven technology and quality that is standing the test of time. Power is just right for any trail I would ride. I think the best in this motor is the smooth and natural delivery of motor support.
