The New Blix Sol X E-Bike Promises “Ultimate Comfort” & Smart Technology
The newest Blix Bikes e-bike, the Sol X, is designed with comfort in mind, offering effortless pedaling, an upright riding position, ergonomic handlebars, a plush saddle, and a low step-through frame, but it also integrates a powerful motor, a torque sensor, auto headlights, brake lights and turn signals, an auto pedal-assist system, and an automatic shift mode, so it’s also built to ride adventurously and safely.
“We all want to feel safe when we ride, especially in busy city streets or low-light conditions. The Sol X is packed with features to help you feel confident no matter where you’re headed. Its lighting system is next-level, with high and low beams, brake lights, and turn indicators all integrated seamlessly. You’ll be visible to cars and pedestrians at any time of day. Plus, the electronic horn adds that extra layer of safety when you need to be heard.”
We’re no stranger to Blix Bikes at CleanTechnica, as we’ve ridden and reviewed a number of the company’s e-bikes, including the Packa e-cargo bike, the Dubbel utility e-bike, and the Sol Eclipse, and all of them have been solid performers. We haven’t ridden the new Blix Sol X yet, but based on what we know about the company’s other models, plus the specs on the new model, the Sol X just might surpass those due to the inclusion of some advanced features and innovative technology.
“We innovate to make cycling accessible and enjoyable for everyone. By making our bikes easier to ride and more user-friendly, we’re encouraging more people to experience the freedom of cycling,” says Blix founder and CEO Pontus Malmberg.
“… when it comes to gear-shifting, forget about fumbling with levers or worrying about what gear you’re in. With fully automated electronic gear shifting, the Sol X does all the work for you—optimizing your ride based on your speed and environment. Just sit back, press a button, or let the bike shift automatically. The result? Effortless, hands-free riding that lets you focus on enjoying the journey.”
The Sol X can handle a total payload of 400 pounds, which includes 60 pounds of cargo on the rear rack and 22 pounds on a front rack (optional), and has a range of up to 70 miles per charge. The full specs on the Sol X can be found on the Blix Bikes website, where it is currently listed at $1799 (reg. $1899).
