What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the Troxus Lynx Plus costs about 350 EUR less to own, once purchase, charging, servicing, a battery replacement where one is due, and resale are all counted.

That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Troxus Lynx Plus covers about 32,747 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Troxus Trax Plus, about 76,800 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict

On the measured axes the Troxus Lynx Plus is the better buy, and the Troxus Trax Plus needs a reason of its own: a colour, a frame, a shop you trust, a price that moves. None of those are in our numbers, and all of them are legitimate.

Range here is an estimate under one reference ride, not a measurement. Yours will differ with terrain, weight, tyres and weather, which is what the range calculator is for.
