Blix Vika+ Flex Review - 1.7k

The Blix Vika+ Flex is an elegant folding electric bike sold in four classy colors with matching fork, rear rack, and aluminum alloy fenders. Velo brand ergonomic grips, Selle Royal gel saddle, and wider 2.4" CST tires provide enhanced comfort. Higher power, improved battery controller design, and the bike has bottle cage bosses! Excellent integrated lights front and rear. The headlight points where you steer and offers side cutouts to keep you visible from more angles, the tail light uses two LEDs and goes bright when either brake lever is pulled. Anti-puncture tire casing and reflective stripes expand your visual footprint. Adjustable height stem and seat post allow the bike to fit a wide range of riders. Intuitive folding design, sturdy aluminum alloy folding pedals from Wellgo, improved magnetic clasp that keeps the bike from rattling around, bike can be wheeled when folded. USB charging port on the display. Trigger throttle and pedal assist. Heavier than some folding ebikes due to the fenders, lights, and rack. Seat may need to be raised to remove battery pack from frame. Limited seven speed 14-28 tooth gear range and basic Shimano Tourney derailleur. Sold direct, requires some unboxing and adjustment vs. dealer.
