2amp chargers are common, especially among the value priced bikes. The charger is a 2amp charger that weighs ~1.8lbs.

The battery is a TranzX BL19 which is a 48v 8.7ahah lithium-ion pack running at 417.6 watt hours. Since they are mechanical brakes and must travel further, you might have to get a hard press going to get that real stopping power, additionally, there are no motor inhibitors so keep that in mind.

Tektro 160mm mechanical disc brakes with 4 finger levers. Shimano Acera rapid fire plus triggers on tight (optical window display, one way high, three-shift low). Not the highest end drivetrain, but still better than the entry level. On the mechanical side, the bike is driven by a Shimano Altus 8 speed with 11-32 tooth cassette. Riding with the motor is great, its zippy and fairly quiet while being somewhat dynamic. There is a throttle optional wire so you can add a throttle, but then it becomes a Class 2, so keep that in mind. As it stands, it is a Class 1 ebike, making it legal for most trails. Its got a 20mph top speed but cuts out at that 20mph and doesn’t support fast pedal rotations, so be careful when taking it to the max. There is no shift detection, so ease off some when changing gears so the derailleur doesn’t take quite as much pressure. The M16 is capable of measuring both cadence and torque in pedal cycles. The system has a 300-500 watt output and 60nm of torque. Some other features include quick release on both wheels, Wellgo aluminum alloy pedals, internally routed wires, and USB port charging.ĭriving the bike is a TranzX M16 GTA mid-drive motor. Being a kind of dual purpose bike, they added a kickstand and it can be removed as well if you don’t want it bouncing around on a trail ride. Some options for configuration here like the bottle cage bosses, rear rack bosses, threaded eyelets for adding fenders, tapered head tube if you want to swap out a different fork… there is a ridged seat post, that can also be swapped out for more comfortable options. This is a compromising size that does great for both on and off road and really works great for a dual-use/cross-country sort of applications.

The size itself is great, using a 27.5” x 2.25” setup. 40-65 PSI capacity, but unfortunately no puncture protection is included in this set. The tires are CST Patrol with some nice tread to them. No full lockout here or rebound, but you do have these thicker stanchions. If you weigh a little more or just want less travel, you can configure those in tandem for better results. Its got a nice SR Suntour XCT30 semi-adjustable suspension fork with the preload being the adjustable option. The E3 Edge is somewhat lightweight with an aluminum alloy frame weighing in at 52lbs. Each frame style also has its own sizes with the mid-step coming in a 17” or 19” frame and the high-step coming in either a 19” or 21” frame. The Edge comes in both a mid-step and high-step as well as 2 colors: black with lime accents or neon blue with green and black accents.
