Where each one wins

- Troxus Trax 1 is 48 Wh more battery.
The Troxus Lynx 20 leads on 1 of these, the Troxus Trax 1 on 1. Neither sweeps it, so the choice comes down to which of those you actually use.
What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the two land within 5% of each other, which is inside the error on any of these inputs. Cost is not the deciding factor here.
That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Troxus Lynx 20 covers about 35,840 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Troxus Trax 1, about 38,400 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
