The Blix Vika X is a Class 2 folding e-bike with a removable 48 V battery of 614.4 Wh and a 500 W geared rear hub motor rated 55 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, 20 x 2.4 in puncture-resistant tires and an 8-speed electronic shifter with an automatic mode.

It folds to 36 x 21 x 29 in. Integrated front and rear lights with turn signals, a colour TFT 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.
