Its ~88 lb weight and an unresolved motor-wattage conflict are the main cautions before buying. - Author: Carlos Hickey - Tags: hynox, reviews A 20-inch folding full-suspension fat-tire e-bike for riders who want strong hill-climbing torque and a tunable rear shock in a frame that folds. **Manufacturer:** [Hynox](https://www.pnwebike.com/manufacturers/hynox/) Review — specs unverified ## Is the Hynox Trooper X good for steep, hilly routes? On paper it is a plausible fit for steep routes: a 1,000 W motor and 100 N·m torque claims, plus a folding full-suspension frame and an air rear shock. Hynox lists a 1,000 W rear hub, 100 N·m and a DNM air rear shock. Some listings cite a 1,600 W peak, and marketing has also cited 78 lb rather than the \~88 lb shipped weight. Motor 1,000 W hub Manufacturer claim; some listings cite 1,600 W peak. Torque 100 N·m Manufacturer claim, unverified. Weight \~88 lb Some marketing cites 78 lb. ## Editor's note No firsthand observation, measurement, or owner quote was invented for this page. Motor, weight and peak figures conflict between the listing and marketing; both are shown. ## Who this is for This suits a rider who wants maximum torque in a folding frame and can store and move an \~88 lb bike at ground level. It is a poor fit if you must lift it, if you need a settled weight before ordering, or if 1,000 W puts the bike outside the state's e-bike definition where you ride. ## Is 1,000 W legal in Washington? Washington defines a compliant e-bike with a 750 W motor cap, so a 1,000 W nominal rating may sit outside that definition and change where it can be ridden as a bicycle. Oregon permits up to 1,000 W. That is a legal question to settle before buying, not a performance feature. ## What owners say No attributable owner sample is recorded for the Trooper X in the sources used here, so this page makes no reliability claim. ## Where it falls short - Weight conflicts: \~88 lb listed against 78 lb in marketing. - Peak power is quoted as 1,600 W in some listings and not others. - A 1,000 W nominal motor may fall outside Washington's 750 W definition. - No brake model is published in the sources used. - No water-ingress rating is recorded. ## Spec versus reality | Spec | Manufacturer claim | Independent / verified reality | | ---------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Price | Not stated in the sources used | Confirm the current price with the seller. | | Motor | 1,000 W rear hub | Some listings cite 1,600 W peak. | | Torque | 100 N·m | Manufacturer claim, unverified. | | Battery | Not stated in the sources used | Ask for capacity and part number. | | Weight | \~88 lb | Marketing has cited 78 lb. | | Suspension | Full suspension, DNM air rear shock | Manufacturer claim. | | Frame | 20-inch folding | Manufacturer description. | | Brakes | Not stated | Ask for the caliper model. | ## PNW reality check #### Rain No ingress rating is recorded and no water-damage term is confirmed here. Store it dry and charge indoors. #### Hills 100 N·m is the claim that makes this bike interesting for steep routes, but no hill test is recorded and the motor rating raises a legal question in Washington. #### Storage The fold handles storage; \~88 lb still has to be moved. #### Lifting \~88 lb is not a one-person lift for most riders. Plan a ramp or ground-level storage. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does the Trooper X weigh? About 88 lb is listed, while marketing has cited 78 lb. Ask for the shipped weight and the battery-removed weight. ### Is the motor 1,000 W or 1,600 W? 1,000 W nominal is listed; some listings quote 1,600 W as a peak figure. They are different numbers, not a contradiction, but confirm both. ### Is it legal in Washington? Washington caps e-bike motors at 750 W. A 1,000 W nominal rating may sit outside that definition; confirm the class and how the bike ships. ### Is it legal in Oregon? Oregon permits up to 1,000 W, which matches the listed rating, but local path rules can still restrict access. ### Does it fold? Yes, it is a 20-inch folding frame. ### What suspension does it have? Full suspension with a DNM air rear shock, per the listing. ### What brakes does it have? Not stated in the sources used. Ask before ordering. ### What is the range? Not published in the sources used. Ask for the battery capacity and a realistic range figure. ## Sources 1. 2026-10-20 — Hynox / EZWheel USA, [Trooper X product listing](https://ezwheelusa.com/products/trooper-x-ebike?ref=pnwebike.com).
