What makes the 2016 Xtracycle Edgerunner so fantastic?

  • Revolutionary EdgeRunner Frame Design Made Even Better for 2016 - The EdgeRunner is well known for the 20" rear wheel that’s designed to get your heavy cargo lower.  On the 2016 EdgeRunner, lower your kids or cargo an additional 3-4" with the new LT2 EdgeRunner racks.  This is great for shorter riders, or riders carrying bigger kids.  By lowering deck weight, even by a few inches, the stability of the bike improves dramatically.  Basically, EdgeRunner handles great, and the 2016s are even better.
  • Bosch Mid Motor System Conquers the Hills - The Bosch drive system has the best reputation in the industry for a reason: it’s powerful, lightweight, and perhaps most importantly of all when it comes to investing in an electric bicycle, offers bullet-proof reliability. For San Francisco cargo riders, Bosch brings the goods: smooth acceleration, ruthless climbing ability and dead simple operation. Don’t trust us - come try it! The demo is available for test rides every day, 11am - 7pm.
  • Front Rack is Your Answer to Cargo Constraints - We specialize in electric longtail cargo bikes because they are simply the best option for the urban environment.  But, if carrying 2 (or more) kids is in your future, it’s easy to fill the rear cargo rack with kids and find yourself short on space for groceries.  The new PorterRack front rack and PorterPack bag gives you tons of options when it comes to additional cargo.

Xtra Info… Accessories Get an Overhaul As Well.

Last but not least, the new Edgerunner with Bosch sports an array of new accessory updates that we appreciate and we think you will too. A new center Kickstand skips the removeable spring, making it more robust, and means that the KickBack stays put until you kick it up - which can help when you’re carrying squirrely kids. Narrower U-Tubes keep your wide load a little less wide.  Padded Hooptie rails help kids know where to hold on. There’s new bags with reflective printing and a new MagicCarpet design as well. Xtracycle accessories are landing over the next 4-8 weeks and we’ll equip our demo bike as they become available.
