Yamaha Unveils New Civante E-Bike for the Road

Yamaha Bicycles has unveiled its latest e-bike for the road called the Civante, which features a robust PWSeries SE motor that utilizes frictionless sensors that measure pedal-torque, speed and crankarm cadence, delivering seamless power-assistance to meet the ever-changing terrain and riding conditions. Moreover, the system elevates the Civante to a class 3 e-bike that’s capable of reaching a top speed of 28mph.

“The Civante will introduce a new group of riders to Yamaha’s legendary quality, comfort and performance and increases and diversifies our retail options,” said Drew Engelmann, Yamaha’s Power Assist Bicycle group sales and marketing manager. “The Civante looks great, feels smooth and comfortable, and delivers the cutting-edge handling dynamics and seamless integration of assist technology that Yamaha does better than anyone else.”

• Multi-function LCD display with Bluetooth app compatibility and readout showing assist modes, speedometer, odometer, trip meter, battery capacity, clock, stopwatch, diagnostics and more.
• Ergonomic drop handlebar design for multiple riding positions and extra padding wrapped in cork bar tape for vibration damping.
