Troxus T-Rex vs Troxus T-Rex Plus
The Troxus T-Rex and the Troxus T-Rex Plus are close enough that no single figure decides it. The table below shows every axis, and the differences that are inside the margin are marked as ties rather than dressed up as wins.
Range is our estimate under the reference ride, not the manufacturer's claim. Cost is over 5 years at 3,000 km a year, on the same formula the cost-of-ownership calculator runs. How we work this out
| Spec | Troxus T-Rex | Troxus T-Rex Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Estimated range | 68 km | 68 km |
| Battery | 960 Wh | 960 Wh |
| Weight | 35.8 kg | 35.8 kg |
| Motor torque | 85 Nm | 85 Nm |
| Top speed | 45 km/h | 45 km/h |

Where each one wins
Nothing separates the Troxus T-Rex and the Troxus T-Rex Plus by more than the margin on our own estimate. On the numbers, this is one bike sold under two names.
Who each one is for
Troxus T-Rex
Suits you if you want:
- 85 Nm of torque, which is steep-hill territory
- fast class, which keeps up with city traffic
- rated to 150 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 68 km estimated, which covers a 34 km each-way commute
What it asks in return:
- 35.8 kg, which is a bike you park rather than carry
- fast class, so it is registered and helmeted in most places

Each line above is read straight from the specification: torque, weight, payload, battery and our range estimate. Nothing here is a preference, and neither bike is being recommended over the other.
What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the Troxus T-Rex costs about 211 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 T-Rex covers about 51,200 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Troxus T-Rex Plus, about 51,200 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
| Over five years | Troxus T-Rex | Troxus T-Rex Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $1,999 | $2,299 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $972 | $972 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-488 | $-561 |
| Total | $2,551 | $2,779 |

Verdict
On the measured axes the Troxus T-Rex is the better buy, and the Troxus T-Rex 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.
