Yamaha PW-X3 / PW-ST / PW-TEDoes the Yamaha rack battery 500 Wh fit a Yamaha PW-X3 / PW-ST / PW-TE bike?
Whether the Yamaha rack battery 500 Wh fits a Yamaha PW-X3 / PW-ST / PW-TE e-bike, and what to confirm on your own frame first.
Yes, with the right mount. The Yamaha rack battery 500 Wh is the native pack for a Yamaha PW-X3 / PW-ST / PW-TE bike (500 Wh, 36 V), charged through the Yamaha PW-series charge connector.
| Battery | Yamaha rack battery 500 Wh (500 Wh, 36 V) |
|---|---|
| Native drive system | Yamaha PW-X3 / PW-ST / PW-TE |
| Verdict | fits (native pack) |
| Charge port | Yamaha PW-series charge connector |
| Will not fit | a different drive system, or a different Bosch/Shimano generation even if the shape matches |
The Yamaha rack battery 500 Wh is proprietary to the Yamaha PW-X3 / PW-ST / PW-TE drive, so it fits that system and no other. The Yamaha 500 Wh rack pack sits on a rear carrier, a common fit on Haibike and other Yamaha-powered trekking bikes. It needs the rack carrier mount, so it is not a drop-in for a frame-battery bike.
Confirm the mount and the Yamaha PW-series charge connector on your own frame, because packs that look identical across generations do not always interchange.
