The Troxus Trax 1 is a city e-bike with a 720 Wh battery and a 60 Nm hub motor. Its price is 1699 USD, which is 31% above the median for its type. You get a sturdy frame and a high-capacity battery for that price.
This bike suits commuters who want a long battery range and strong torque for hills. It is not foldable and has no throttle, so it is a straightforward pedelec. The step-through frame is absent, so you need to swing your leg over. If you value simplicity and range, this bike is worth a look.

Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who prioritize torque and battery capacity over weight and price. It is a solid choice for daily commuting on hilly routes.
- You need strong hill-climbing power from a hub motor.
- You want a large battery for longer commutes without frequent charging.
- You prefer a simple, non-folding e-bike with no throttle.
Look elsewhere if you need a lightweight bike for carrying upstairs or if your budget is tight. Also consider a step-through frame if you have limited mobility.
