Question I just got a wabash RT, and I noticed that it doesn’t have a shock absorber on the front wheels, I can replace it the forks with forks that have shock absorbers? So I can take the bike out on trails.

My wife bought me a Wabash in Oct 2024, and had it delivered to a local bike shop. They got my extra promo battery about a year ago, but there was no end caps. I kept checking with them every few months. I called this month and it was finally ready for pickup, haha. So it took like 20 months, but I did eventually get the free 2nd battery. I think the bike shop had kind of forgotten about us, so it's good that I kept calling.

So bummed… here for 10 days, brought our bikes (crosscore and moro) and forgot out chargers! Anyone have one nearby we could borrow or have or something? Or any ideas on how to acquire one quickly?

I recently bought a second battery off ebay for wabash RT. It was new and still packed in the original packaging from Yamaha so I am mostly confident it is indeed legit and new.

For whatever reason, the power output is marginally less with it. It still works and everything seems fine but it is a bit less powerful at the same level of pedal assist as the battery that came with the bike.

It is is not really a big deal but I am curious has any thoughts on what may be causing this.

My brother has a Moro 05 that he got back when Yamaha had that big product dump. It’s a cool bike and rides well. I’m visiting from and took it for a ride and he commented that I shouldn’t change the power mode while moving and should stop. That’s really strange to me but he said the manual says so.

I looked for the manual online but didn’t find anything about that.

Anyone heard this as well? It goes against how my bikes work.

I checked the rules and did not see anything regarding sales, but delete if not allowed. I recently sold my Moro 07, and buyer did not want to buy the second battery. It is new, still in sleep mode.

Is there any interest here, or can someone point me in the right direction to selling it?

Thank you!

Edit: Selling in OH. Will sell it for $350, if you are interested, DM.

After I replaced the chain with CN HG701 11. I am getting skipping on torque when I am using smallest cog (only). I ordered Shimano11T (Y1RK11000) and cheap Amazon whip chain tool and lockring adapter. Anyone having similar problem? Do I need any other tool or materials?

Upway offered me 2455 for my barely used (107 miles, mostly pavement) large Moro 7. Before I take their offer, I wanted to see if anyone in the Massachusetts area was looking for one before I sell it to them. If someone is interested, it will be the same price they are offering me. Just throwing it out there!
