The Yamaha Cross Connect is a stylish and practical electric bike that helps you take control of your your day. While providing the smooth power assist expected by many e-bike users, Yamaha systems feature quicker acceleration, powerful climbing assistance and a natural-feeling amplification of your pedal strokes. Includes utility rear-rack, lights and hydraulic disc brakes.
Yamaha Cross Connect comes with a hydro-formed aluminum frame and added a SR Suntour NCX fork to take out the bumps in the road with 63mm of travel. While the CrossCore and the CrossConnect models look similar, they’re two separate platforms, with the latter running sans a suspension fork. The Cross Connect has bosses for water bottle cages on the seat tube, a rear rack and a kickstand. It comes in a diamond frame only, with no step-though option.
It is available now for shipping in different colors and sizes. Yamaha Marketplace has brand new and fairly used Yamaha electric bikes in stock, however it is recommended to contact Yamaha Marketplace to confirm color and size availability before ordering as inventory varies from day to day.

Bobby Roy –
I bought 2. Unfortunately, one came without the light bracket to mount it. it is easily unplugged so for now its not on the bike. Their customer service been very responsive and helpful and is sending one. I so far have 30 miles on one bike and I’m very impressed. I’ll note that I have never rode or owned an e-bike. I did weeks of research and wound up with this bike. UPDATE THEY SENT ME FREE FENDERS AND GAVE ME AN ENTIRE LIGHT NOT JUST THE BRACKET!!! *** AWESOME!!
