BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Blix Sol Eclipse. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

12 reasons to buy

  • Reviewers applaud the Sol Eclipse’s combination of quality and value.
  • The bike’s stable handling and smooth power make it easy for novices to ride, say experts.
  • Testers appreciate how the Sol Eclipse holds speed going uphill.
  • Reviewers say the Sol Eclipse is a very comfortable ride.
  • Experts praise the smooth, “responsive” pedal assist and easy-to-modulate throttle.
  • The acceleration is good without being overpowering, according to one tester.
  • In one test, the bike achieved 35.5 miles on pedal assist level 5 and 53 miles on level 3, exceeding the listed range.
  • The Sol Eclipse comes in a choice of four colors: Seafoam, Slate Grey, Sky Blue, and Sorbet.
  • A tool-free adjustable stem and quick-release seatpost make it easy to adjust fit for riders from 5’1” to 6’2”.
  • Experts agree the large display is easy to read.
  • The bike features a USB port for charging devices.
  • In one reviewer’s opinion, the Shimano Tourney drivetrain has ideal gearing.

6 reasons not to buy

  • The throttle is active with pedal assistance off. Some testers consider this a safety risk.
  • An expert laments inconsistent power increases across assist levels and negligible power at levels 1 and 2.
  • Buyers must pay extra for fenders, a rack, and a rear light.
  • At 54.7lb without fenders or a rack, this bike is on the heavy side.
  • The Sol Eclipse is only available in one size.
  • A tester says the mechanical disc brakes require more effort at the lever than hydraulic brakes.

Bottom line

Blix’s Sol Eclipse is an electric beach cruiser with a “powerful” 750W motor and eye-catching style. Testers say responsive, easily controlled power and relaxed handling make it ideal for beginners. The bike is praised for its comfortable, “fun” ride and solid range. However, the Sol Eclipse is somewhat heavy. Additionally, experts note a lack of power at assist levels 1 and 2 and see the always-on throttle as a safety risk. That said, the Sol Eclipse earns high marks and is deemed a “solid” e-cruiser option at this price point.
