8 reasons not to buy

A tester finds that after changing the bike's speed settings, the motor's power output is inconsistent, sometimes struggling to reach 25mph and other times exceeding 28mph.
The rear rack is supported by the fender instead of a second set of frame struts. One expert questions the stated 60lb capacity.
Reviewers say auto-shifting can be delayed, unpredictable, inconsistent, and jolting while downshifting.
A reviewer reports the battery readout is inconsistent, with pedal assist shutting off while showing 11% charge remaining.
One tester says power is unevenly distributed between the PAS levels in Class 3 mode.
With a minimum seat height of 32”, shorter riders in the 5’1” to 6’2” height guide are unlikely to fit.
A companion Bluetooth app is required to change the bike from Class 2 to 3.
Blix’s customer support is rated poorly for being unresponsive and not resolving frequent manufacturer defects.

Bottom line

The Blix Sol X is a beach cruiser e-bike with a 750W motor and 614.4Wh battery. Electronic shifting and the Auto PAS mode impress testers at this price, but the automatic shifting is very clunky and not worth using. Experts praise the ride comfort, stable handling, responsive PAS, powerful motor, and strong brakes. Complaints mention the inconsistent battery meter, inaccurate sizing, a questionable rear rack mounting, and poor support from Blix. Overall, reviewers see Blix's Sol X as an excellent value option for recreational rides.

Level 2 expert

The Sol X does offer automatic shifting, though the experience can be a bit inconsistent so most riders are going to want to stick with the paddle shifters, which are excellent and user-friendly… The auto pedal assist worked well…
