Based on probing electronic transport properties, we study the recently discovered phase diagram of 1D Floquet topological insulators [Kennes et al., Phys. Rev. B 100, 041103(R) (2019)]. Using Keldysh formalism, we compute transport properties of this model, where we consider a setup in which states with a large relative edge-weight primarily contribute to the transport, which grants experimental access to the topological phase diagram. Surprisingly, we find conductance values similar in magnitude to those corresponding to topological edge states, when tuning the lead Fermi energy to special values in the bulk, which coincide with bifurcation points of the dispersion relation in quasimomentum space. These peaks reveal the presence of bands of states whose wave functions are linear combinations of delocalized bulk states and exponentially localized edge states, where the amplitude of the edge-state component is sharply peaked at the bifurcation point, resulting in an unusually large relative edge-weight. We discuss the emergence of these states in terms of an intuitive yet quantitative physical picture, which is not specific to the model, suggesting that they may be present in a wide class of systems.
