The XtraCycle EdgeRunner XPP with our GMAC system features:
- A meticulously engineered chromoly steel frame capable of carrying up to 3 child passengers, cargo, and more.
- A motor system that provides over 80 N-m of torque to climb any hill and powerful regenerative braking to stop confidently.
- 750 watt-hour battery for unmatched range.
- Bright, powerful lights that run off the ebike battery (never forget to charge those rechargeables again!)
- Torque sensing bottom bracket for proportional assist and power/cadence sensing
- Full coverage fenders
- Sturdy "Kickback 3" double kickstand
- Vuelta triple road crankset or 1x Narrow/Wide crankset (your choice)
The GMAC motor system is capable of producing over 80 N-m of torque, in both forwards (acceleration) and reverse (braking) directions. Because it's a hub motor, it offers this torque regardless of the gear that you're currently shifted into! This means peak torque from a stop without having to downshift, and also means that the motor doesn't wear your (extra-long) chain excessively, as it would with a Bosch system (or any mid-drive). Regenerative braking will increase your range by 10-15% in hilly city terrain, and more importantly, doesn't wear your brake pads down.

This is the ultimate bike for in-city transport of cargo and passengers. Come take it for a test ride!

Simply choose the options you'd like and order! You can pick up at our Seattle flagship store, or have the bike shipped to you. Please allow up to 2 weeks for shipment.

The hub motor works to assist your pedal power. The motor supplies power as soon as you start to pedal, and the amount of power it provides is based on the level that you select on the display and also on how hard you pedal. When you stop pedaling, the motor shuts off. You can also activate the motor with the handlebar throttle without needing to pedal.

The EdgeRunner is rated to a 400 lbs total payload (rider + passengers + cargo).

The GMAC system has a 28mph top speed when pedaling, and a 20 mph top speed when using the throttle only. You can unlock higher speeds via the "off-road" option.

The battery life varies based on numerous factors (the power level used, the rider’s weight, the amount of pedal assistance, cargo, terrain, wind, etc). However, you can expect at least 15 miles on a full charge, even with heavy weight in hill terrain, and much more in more ideal conditions.

The XtraCycle frame comes with a lifetime warranty, and all non-electric bicycle components come with their respective manufacturer's warranty. The electric assist system comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty except for the display and controller, which have a 3-year warranty. Essentially, that means that any damage not caused by an accident or misuse is covered. See the full warranty here.

It really comes down to how well you, the battery’s owner, care for it. With that said, you can expect a full 400 cycles with the standard charger before the battery life drops to 80% of its original capacity. But with the Cycle Satiator charger, you can extend that number to 1,000 cycles or more. We warranty the battery for 2 years with some stipulations (see the warranty section for more information).

From completely flat, the standard battery takes 6 hours to charge, and the extended battery takes 8 hours to charge. Want faster charging speeds? Check out the Cycle Satiator!

Nope. But don’t leave it plugged in for too long (24 hours or more). It keeps the cells from dropping down to their resting voltage and prematurely ages the pack.

No! Actually, it's best to not completely discharge the battery. We suggest you simply recharge the battery overnight after riding, regardless of whether it's completely dead or not.

Matt Haskell said: Minivan with a mullet

Henry shipped mine to Tennessee 2000+ miles ago, to improve on my previous (also fabulous) e-cargo bike. Tune it up regularly, because you’ll use it more than your car. Me and the boys ride it to school and work 12 months a year, and it has never let us down (have a good plan for flats even with the fabulous tires). The motor is unflappable, regardless of weather or task. It’s fast and strong. It’s a big bike to park or walk, so plan ahead. Once you’re pedaling, it’s size and the good lights are a reassuring asset. Plan to replace the center stand feet a couple of times a year. Xtracycle recommends some chair leg feet on Amazon. Fenders, bags, and hydraulic brakes are critical, so get these from the outset. Don’t hesitate on the expense, just spend less on your car.

It’s width can be unwieldy to secure. I use a chain with loop most of the time and replaced the quick release front axle with a locking axle to avoid locking it every time. It needs a battery lockout or a hidden cutoff switch, the version I have allows a passerby to turn it on with just the switch on the battery. Bike Swift may have improved any of these already, and it’s not a readily stolen bike anyway. It gets so much attention a thief would return it. Xtracycle complaint - it needs a chain guard! Grin complaint - I appreciate the versatility of the charger, but it needs to be able to charge while the bike is turned off, and it’d be awesome if someone would build a charger into a battery. Small complaints that may have been improved since mine, on a bike you’ll love as much as your kids will.

And Bike Swift’s support has been very good even across the country. Six thumbs up

Laurel Thacker said: Get this bike!!

We bought our Edgerunner a year ago and man-of-man have we been happy with this bike. This bike actually replaced another "cheaper" ebike (not from bike swift) and I would hands-down make the switch again. We live on one of the biggest hills in Seattle and are usually hauling around a kiddo or two, plus groceries, backpacks, toys, etc. I used to commute through the city and also always felt like I could keep up with cars and traffic if I needed to. Having the e-assist and the regenerative braking makes riding the bike a dream. This bike has replaced our car and is so much easier and way more fun to get around the city in. My kid's favorite phrase while riding is "Go faster, go faster!" -- It's been a hit all-around.

Raymond G said: Great bike, great shop

We're kicking off the spring/summer in style with our EDGERUNNER XPP W/ GMAC. The good folks at Swift offered great guidance on the e-bike revolution, and the various options and trade-offs of various systems, which made me comfortable embarking on the latest trend (and also confident that the GMAC from Bike Swift was the right call).

We're a few months in with the bike and it has fully delivered on its promise. The power is surprisingly strong and the battery life is great. Our route regularly takes us up some serious hills and don't even break a sweat (if I don't want to). On our very first ride our little man shouted out "this is so much fun, I want to ride on the family bike every day!" What else needs to be said?

Overall take away--great shop with deep knowledge, and awesome bikes.

McCoy Erin said: We love our Edgerunner!

We bought our GMAC-equipped Edgerunner from Henry a year ago, and are really happy to have gone with this cadillac of a family bike. We are a tall couple of adults (6' and 6'5") who wheel around their also-large 4 and 6 year old around West Seattle. We have big hills and found this the most powerful option after test-riding a couple of other options, including the Bosch option that Edgerunner sells as their built-in e-assist option. We use it like a second car during the nicer months of the year and love the way it allows us to be outside with each other - so much so that we quickly recruited two other families to join our bike gang. Henry was incredibly knowledgeable and great to work with and answered all of our many questions - great experience all around.
