What people ask about the Trax LT
How much does it weigh?
The Trax LT weighs 29.9 kg. That is 10% above the median for city e-bikes. You will feel the extra weight when lifting it onto a rack or carrying it up stairs.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 45 Nm of torque. That is exactly level with the median for its type. It is enough for gentle hills, but not for steep or long climbs.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. The top speed is 32 km/h. It has no throttle, so assistance stops when you stop pedaling.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 64 km. Our range calculator estimates 36 km, with a band from 32 to 40 km. That estimate is 44% below the claim. The estimate assumes an 80 kg rider, rolling terrain, and a brisk pace. Your range will vary.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 1299 USD, level with the median. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. Use the cost calculator to see your yearly total. The warranty is not listed, so factor that into your decision.
Where it falls short
The Trax LT has a small battery for its class. At 499 Wh, it is 28% below the median. That directly cuts range. The estimated range is 36 km, while the class median is 50 km. If you ride longer distances, you will need to recharge more often.
Who should buy it
The Trax LT fits riders with short commutes and flat routes. It is a simple, no-throttle pedelec at a fair price. If you can charge at work or home, the range may be enough.
- You ride less than 32 km per day and can charge nightly.
- You want a city bike with a standard frame and no throttle.
- You weigh under 100 kg and do not carry heavy cargo.
Look elsewhere if you need long range, heavy cargo capacity, or a step-through frame. The Trax LT is not for those needs. Its 100 kg max payload and lack of cargo capability limit its versatility.
