We got a chance to ride the The Yamaha CrossCore RC on a beautiful morning in Southern California. The Yamaha CrossCore RC is a Class 3 rated bike with pedal assist up to 28mph. It is a versatile lifestyle and fitness bike with an upright seating position and flat ergonomic handlebars. This makes it a great bike for commuting, just going for a spin on the neighborhood, or running errands.
The CrossCore RC features Yamaha’s 500 watt hour battery integrated into the frame. The battery is removable so you can charge the battery on or off the frame. Charge time for the battery is just 4 hours so you can get going on the road quicker. Having the battery integrated into the frame helps keep the silhouette of the bike sleek and balance out the weight of the bike.
This powers Yamahas all new PWseries ST drive unit. The mid drive PWSeries ST drive unit delivers a natural feeling power assist using Yamaha’s quad sensor system. This features a new Automatic mode along with 4 manual modes you can choose from. Yamaha’s Proprietary Quad Sensor System features torque, speed, crank, and angle sensors to adapt immediately to the riding conditions and deliver a natural power assist. The automatic mode uses all these sensors to adjust between ECO, Standard, and High for optimal performance and efficiency. I opted to use the automatic mode for most of our ride today and was impressed with the smooth transition between assist levels. It worked super well when transitioning from getting to the top of the hill to the flat part of the road and it was very nice to not have to think about toggling through modes.
