Troxus Explorer Review | A New Challenger To The Fat Tire E-Bike Ranks?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 Would you use the Troxus Explorer for adventuring, running errands, or both? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

[@richardackerman838]

I received my Troxus Explorer Step Thru a week ago. I'm 75 years old and overweight. I started slow because I haven't ridden a bike for at least 40 years. I live in a very hilly neighborhood and this bike had no trouble going up even the steepest hills in my area. I haven't taken the bike out of Setting 1 and Gear 3. Been working on stopping and starting. I'm 5 foot 8 and I have the seat all the way down so I can put both feet on the ground. I'm also recovering from a broken leg last December. Basically I'm telling everyone that this bike is awesome, and If I can handle it, anyone can handle it. I just put on some music which plays in my hearing aids and the wind in my face makes me smile. I did add a mirror on my helmet so I could see behind me. I try to ride a little every day to get back in shape. Your video has helped me understand that there is a lot more to this bike that I need to learn. ThankQ

Nice to see a good, no bullshit, easy to follow review where the reviewer doesn't act like a ridiculous "KZbinr."

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thanks! That's what we're aiming for!

A couple of comparative differences between this bike and Aventure 2 include AV 2 weighs 77 pounds this bike 83 lbs; this bike a cadence sensor and Aventure 2 torque sensor; max weight to carry for this bike 353 lbs and an Aventure 2 400lbs. Battery on this bike 48 v 20 Amp hours and Aventure 2 48 V and 15 amp hours. Price for this bike $2299 and Aventure 2 $1999. looking forward to more ride comparisons.

[@richardackerman838]

This bike was on sale for $1399.00, but I missed the sale. But I was able to get it for $1705.00 delivered.

Great review as always. How do you change the speed setting in controller?

[@Cyberdactyl]

They should offer a dual motor version of this for around $2699. They would have a REAL beast in their lineup.

[@chow-chihuang4903]

Most cadence sensor bikes program their PAS levels to correspond with speed targets. A few program theirs to correspond with current/power sent to the motor, so you don’t get the initial surge and the motor assist doesn’t appear off as you approach a speed or stop providing help above those speed targets. Mate, Lectric XPedition (their longtail cargo bike) and Ride1Up e-bikes with cadence sensors do the latter.

[@horsepastedelish]

I like that this one comes with a cassette instead of a cheap freewheel.

[@telerover]

Do you know what the psd code is on the display and how to change the settings?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

We were not given that information, sorry!

[@Mojo-Risin-Risin]

Hi... Could you please tell me what your height and pant inseam is?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

I'm 5'-11" with about a 31" inseam.

[@Mojo-Risin-Risin]

@@ElectricBikeReport thank you!

[@jjboohoo9641]

Isn't that the same bike as the Aventon Adventure 2? Just painted and branded different..Oh and higher price tag

[@ElectricBikeReport]

They look very similar, but this one does include a larger battery which is where we'd attribute some of that extra cost.

[@auturgicflosculator2183]

The two have a similar layout, but there are sharper, more aggressive bends and contours on the Aventon bike~

[@kenslavikrealtorkellerwill6671]

this bike has a cadence sensor and an aventure 2 has a torque sensor.

[@whothefoxcares]

Q: for apartment dwellers, is it easy to carry up & down 3 flights of stairs?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Around 80 lbs it won't be the easiest to deal with going up and down stairs.

[@chow-chihuang4903]

There are affordable options ranging from low 30 to mid 50lbs, but none have fat tires or huge batteries. Some have decent battery capacity (48V, 14-15Ah), a few have similarly torquey motors. The lightest have either or both small wheels and road-style frames + forks. The Propella bikes come immediately to mind, as do the FLX Babymaker II, Ride1Up Roadster (as well as the gravel version). There are other models with similar designs. Search for them by weight, then decide what combination of features shits you. Mine was the Ride1Up LMT’d - 53lbs (before accessories), 48V14Ah pack, 750W nominal, 100Nm torque geared hub motor, torque sensor, air fork, 27.5x2.4in tires. I think the latest version has slightly less torque (95Nm) but I hear the motor is much quieter. I think the Aventon Level.2 is comparable. That’s as heavy a bike I’d be willing to carry up to a third floor, and I’d probably take a break mid-way after a longer ride.

No price..?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Prices change often, so we recommend checking on the Troxus website. There's a link in the video description!

[@getnbetr01]

@@ElectricBikeReport ok thanks! Good review!

[@dcdc8885]

😎👍

[@erhodes352]

Looks like an Aventon Adventure clone.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Our first thought as well. Rides a lot like the Aventure 1 too, but a much larger battery.

[@electrifiedlatina6871]

Great review, huh quality stuff, BUT another presenter that puts me to sleep!!! This has been happening with this new batch of presenters, the ones you had before were way better! Sigh!
