Yamaha has added two new electric bikes to its lineup with the new YDX-MORO 07 and YDX-MORO 05. The 07 will be available starting this December at $6,399.99 while the 05 will come to market in the early part of 2023 at $5,799.99. Both off-road bikes will be available in small, medium, and large sizes.
The MORO 07 and 05 each come equipped with Yamaha’s latest PW-X3 drive unit, which produces up to 62 pound-feet torque. It can provide up to 500W of power assist and reach up to 20 mph. The PW-X3 offers Eco, Standard, High, MTB, Auto, Extra-Power, and Walk Assist modes. Yamaha’s Quad Sensor System ensures that torque is available instantly at the onset of pedal input, and in total the PW-X3 is 10 percent lighter than the previous generation unit.
