This relaxed beach cruiser boasts a powerful 750W motor, a responsive and natural ride, electronic shifting, and a cool, contemporary design.
Cruiser-style e-bikes are known far and wide for their comfort, with upright riding positions and a relaxed, leisurely feel. They’re often simple, feature-light, and uncomplicated, which makes them easy to operate—but this also means they may lack some functional elements.
Additionally, beach cruisers don’t usually have a reputation for being high-tech or high-performance, but the Blix Sol X isn’t your average cruiser.
Like the Vika X we reviewed a short time prior to the Sol X, this bike is loaded with cool technology features that are uncommon for its style and price point. The Sol has an electronic shifting system. It also pairs with the Blix Connect app for ride data and customization, and it offers an Auto pedal assist setting with optional automatic shifting.
The Sol X also offers a comfortable ride with better-than-expected handling and a responsive feel. It pedals similarly to an analog bike thanks to its torque sensor, and its relatively light construction keeps it feeling lively and highly maneuverable on the road or path.
On top of that, it includes a variety of commuter-friendly features to enhance safety and functionality. The bike has integrated turn signals and lights (including a high- and low-beam LED headlight), a cargo rack, and fenders.
The Sol X even breaks from the norm in its appearance; where many electric cruisers look like they’re fresh out of the 1950s, Blix opted for a much more contemporary vibe with black trim and a selection of cool, trendy colors.
