First Look: Troxus Lynx Cargo E-Bike

Whether you’re joining the e-bike revolution for the first time or upgrading your ride to the latest technology, it’s a great time to shop for an electric bicycle. That’s because e-bikes are still relatively new, and innovations and improvements are being made in leaps and bounds with every passing season. Exhibit A: Troxus has unveiled the newest, most refined cargo e-bike yet with the Lynx Cargo. Whatever kind of riding you have in mind, this e-bike will get it done. The team at Troxus packed the Lynx Cargo with smart features to enhance its durability, longevity, ridability, and, most important, safety. Here’s how it works.

Two Switchable Sensor Modes

The biggest innovation in the Lynx Cargo is the addition of switchable Torque and Cadence sensor modes, which are smoother than anything on the market. Together, these switchable sensors make traveling with cargo easier than ever. The Lynx Cargo is equipped with five different levels of pedal assist, along with a thumb throttle for that extra push. You can engage Torque sensor mode at any pedal level to allow for a smoother, more natural riding feel. Torque mode also extends battery life and is designed to harness the full output of the rider. It’s ideal for exercise, battery preservation, and retaining the simple pleasure of getting out there and riding a bike.

If the going gets tough, your legs get tired, or you just want to cruise, switch over to Cadence sensor mode—the secret sauce for a smooth uphill ride with extra weight. For faster riding with less effort, Cadence mode detects crank arm rotations down to a quarter crank and maintains a constant speed. Troxus is the first to offer these two switchable modes on its display, making any ride as easy as can be. Plus, the throttle assist functions equally well under both modes, leading to an e-bike experience that you can perfectly tailor to the day’s mission.

Versatility

Sporting a 6061-T6 aluminum frame, the Lynx Cargo is strong enough to withstand daily commutes or leisure rides and has a 500-pound carrying capacity. It uses a step-through frame construction, allowing the rider to easily mount and dismount. Powering the Lynx Cargo is a Bafang 750-watt motor sustained by a 48-volt battery enhanced with Samsung cells. This battery can keep trucking for up to 90 miles per charge, ensuring you won’t be left in a lurch with just human-powered pedaling. Not only that, but the motor reaches a top speed of 20 mph with throttle assist, perfect for around-town travel. The pedal-assist function is aided by an eight-speed Shimano derailleur for easy work no matter the hill grade. Optional features like folding footboards, seat cushions, seat backs, and rails, plus the included heavy-duty front and rear racks, keep you comfortable on your travels and your cargo well stowed and safe.

Safety and Warranty

Troxus dramatically raised the bar on efficient riding with the Lynx Cargo, but no compromise was made when it comes to road-ready safety. All 2024 models, including the Lynx Cargo, are UL 2849–certified for increased safety assurance. You can feel confident sharing the road thanks to rear brake lights and turn signals, eliminating the need to let go of the handlebars for signaling. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes allow for an easy, expedient deceleration whether for a red light or an emergency stop. For wet weather visibility and nighttime cruising, the Lynx Cargo features an 80-lux front light that lets you see the road ahead and be seen by others. The Lynx can tackle paved streets and uneven surfaces alike with 80 millimeters of travel on the front suspension, so it doesn’t matter what kind of commute you have—to the office, the farmers’ market, or the beach.

But the best part is that your e-bike is protected for the long haul. The Lynx Cargo is backed by a 5-year/5,000-mile warranty, as well as supplemental Troxus Total Care+ on all new bicycles.
