No, actually it's the DE, Dimension Edge.
You might have missed that but the DE is particularly notable with the lever operated disengagement system, offers complete freewheel which is nice.

and remember a poor bike is still a poor bike even with a engine attached IMO

FWIW, I bought a Citizen 16" folding bike for $200 including shipping and a carrying bag on the web.
Then, I hung my BikeMotorParts.com friction drive ($175 including shipping) with a Subaru/Robin 33cc 4 cycle engine ($100 on Craigslist) on it. Top speed is about 28 mph.
It all fits easily in my homebuilt experimental airplane.
Now, when I fly somewhere, I have 'wheels'.
(When it's not on the folding bike, the friction drive is on my Rans recumbent.)
Very cool motorized folding bike - under $500.
