The Yamaha Wabash RT is the BEST Gravel Ebike I've Found So Far!

Gravel bikes are one of the fastest growing segments of bicycling right now, and so are ebikes! Yamaha has combined these two trends to create a very compelling bike for the right buyer.

Yamaha just announced they are exiting the US by year-end due to tough market conditions.

6:04 Cooling vents on the motor housing behind the FT wheel seems like a good place for dirt / mud to enter.

Yamaha has an awesome deal on this right now. I just picked one up for $1, 679.00.

Yes. mine is 1-by-11 as well. My previous non-eBike had 3-by-8 but it was poor for cross-chaining; hence the fall off!

Hi Peter.
I like the gravel bike. I have a Raleigh Mustang Elite from when I used to commute to work.
I fitted a stempost extension due to my height - and a third party add-on to double the limited speed (15.5mph is too slow, and it was poor at decoupling beyond that). I tend to ride at 20mph. I can make 35 mph, but the cadence is limited by the 44:11 gearing. My legs won't spin faster.

Strong man.. lifting 48Lb like it is nothing..

I like the new colors of the Wabash RT. The one I have has a glossy fork that looks great intially but gets scratched and dinged up easily. Kinda wish the fork was flat black though for durability.

I just picked up a Wabash and love it. Can you please tell me what kind of headlight is that and is it easy to hook up? Nothing in the manual about that.

i have the 2024 Wabash, what is the name of that light bracket adapter in the front?

[jermboat]

How do you get that color? All I see online is the light blue?

Are you guys ever thinking about reviewing the 2024 Vespa GTV 300?

It does seem strange that motorcycle manufacturers badge bikes and add bicycle groupsets. If Japanese motorcycle manufacturers got together and built an electrogearbox they might push too hard on the bicycle industry - I guess.
It's too bad Yamaha didn't put suspension on the front. A little extra weight with a battery wouldn't make much difference.

Is there any difference in this model beyond my bike’s model color ( blue steel)?

[rickyricardo]

How is this color not the currently offered steel blue (light blue)? Is this a 2025?

What is the cost of Yamaha Wabash in your country?
İ m in Türkiye and 2022 Wabash (Blue color) here is 2314 $. İ bought 2 day ago.

I like that mine is only 15kg without the external battery - I could lift it onto the roof bars of my MB E220.

With the deal Yamaha has on these right now, this seems to be a good E-bike for the price. If it were full price, probably not! Still heavy at 46lbs. The GRX 1x11, although good is outdated. Most new gravel bikes are 1x12 and you can find SRAM wireless electronic shifting on gravel bikes starting at under $5K. Oh BTW, it's pronounced Wah-bash. You are saying it too fast and putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable.
