Blix Vika+ Electric Folding Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]

The Blix Vika+ is a sporty compact eFolder with impressive cargo features for the economical price of $1,699. 

A big highlight is the very impressive range it provided in the tough range test.

My destination, the lovely Wood Nook Campsite, was some 45 miles from home and the massive 1,000Wh dual battery capacity of the Load 60 promised more than enough power on tap to get me there. [Read More…]
