Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line

The Troxus Explorer Plus improves over its previous version with a color display, turn signals, and switchable torque or cadence-sensing modes. The powerful Bafang motor, solid battery range, and reliable Tektro brakes impress. Reviewers also enjoy the ride comfort over bumpy pavement and light trails. Drawbacks are minor, but a tester complains of jerky power delivery in torque-sensing mode. All in all, testers are pleased with the Explorer Plus, though it's on the pricier side for a fat-tire e-bike.

The Affordable E-Bike That Changes Everything

The Troxus Explorer Plus step-through bike is a really, really good bike. We’re happy with it, very well built, and I think this is a bike that would be perfect if you were doing city riding, [and] maybe some light trail riding.
