blix

Blix is one of the many well-recognized California-based brands in the e-bike industry. Considering it was founded in Santa Cruz in 2014 by Swede, Pontus Malmberg, it’s safe to say that it’s one of those standout brands that walk the talk through the close to incomparably rapid growth it has undergone since that time.

Founded in Santa Cruz, CA in 2014, Blix is one of the fastest growing, direct to consumer, ebike brands in the U.S. Blix offers innovative e-bike models including city, cruiser, cargo and folding ebikes. We make short distance travel more enjoyable, fast and easy.

The Blix Ultra is now taking pre-orders and is expected to begin shipping in July of this year. The bike is priced at either $1,999 for the single battery model or $2,399 for the dual battery model. FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.

All Blix bikes are assembled in Asia where most parts in the bicycle industry are made. But we’re highly involved in the manufacturing process and often on location, giving us control over quality assurance and details in the whole supply chain. SCTB: You’re from Scandinavia.

Although made in China, Blix and their partners Cycle of Sweden oversee every aspect of the manufacturing process. From battery to motor controls, Blix understands that the bike needs to arrive ready to ride and trouble-free with the confidence that comes with high-level quality control.

This Class 2 e-bike has a top speed of 20 mph using both the throttle and pedal assist, so it isn’t necessarily the fastest bike around, but we feel it’s plenty fast for a utility/cargo style model.

Press the switch to the “I” on the battery mounted beneath the saddle to power on the battery. On the dual-battery Packa, you will also need to press and hold the rubber button on the downtube battery. The battery(ies) must be powered on in order to control the display on the bike.

The Blix Packa is a highly sensible electric cargo bike that costs less than half of primary competitors like the Tern GSD and Yuba Spicy Curry Bosch. The mid-tail bike is only slightly longer than a regular bike and, thanks to 24-inch tires, it’s easy to whip around town—despite weighing nearly 80 pounds.

Its left-hand throttle dial requires small-but-explicit extension with a finger to prevent dangerous, accidental touches, and its pedal-assist system is calibrated exactly the way I want it. Getting to and maintaining a riding speed of 15-20 mph is easy and comfortable enough on the Vika+, but it isn’t lightning fast.
