Description

The Blix Sol X is a Class 2 comfort e-bike with a low step-through, pedal-forward frame, a removable 48 V battery of 614.4 Wh and a 750 W geared rear hub motor rated 70 Nm of torque, with a torque sensor.

Blix says an app setting switches it to Class 3, raising pedal assist from 20 to 28 mph while the throttle stays at 20 mph. It has hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors, a steel fork, 26 x 2.4 in puncture-resistant tires and an 8-speed electronic shifter with an automatic mode.

It weighs 62 lb, and the manual rates it for 312 lb in total while the product page prints 400 lb with a 318 lb rider limit. Integrated front and rear lights with turn signals, a colour LCD display, fenders and a 60 lb MIK rear rack come fitted, and the box holds pedals, the battery and keys, a charger and a tool kit.

Blix claims up to 70 miles in its lowest assist mode. It comes in Slate Gray, Nü Cream, Sky Blue and Seafoam at one price. A second store listing sells the same Nü Cream bike at $2,899.00. A spare Vika X and Sol X battery is listed at $599.99.
