Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Blix Vika+ Flex. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
14 reasons to buy
- Experts say the Vika+ Flex is a joy to ride.
- Reviewers appreciate the balance of nimble handling and stability.
- Experts say this bike functions well in urban traffic with its good agility, stability, acceleration, and braking.
- Two testers get over 27 miles of real-world range on pedal assist level 5. One exceeds 43 miles on level 3.
- One reviewer says the Vika+ Flex manages respectable speeds with low battery charge.
- Experts are pleased with the braking power.
- The Vika+ Flex folds down to a relatively compact 36" x 21" x 28".
- Tests show the 500W motor provides snappy acceleration, maintains speed well, and impresses uphill.
- The motor responds in about half a pedal stroke thanks to a sensitive cadence sensor.
- The Vika+ Flex has a stated height range of 4'10" to 6'2", with easily adjustable handlebar height.
- The 55lb-rated rear rack supports Thule Yepp child seats and has standard pannier hangers and bungee loops.
- Experts praise Blix's offering of practical, easy-to-mount accessories.
- The Vika+ Flex comes with integrated lights, alloy fenders, and a "pleasingly loud" bell.
- The easy-to-use RevoShift shifter is less prone to damage when the bike is folded or transported.
4 reasons not to buy
- The reach is a little short for taller riders. A 6'1" tester finds it particularly noticeable at higher speeds and on longer rides.
- One reviewer's test bike had a very noisy motor, and the derailleur wasn't set up correctly.
- The saddle must be removed to fit the folded bike into the included carry bag.
- Full throttle is available in PAS 0. This can be handy but it's also a safety risk.
Bottom line
The Blix Vika+ Flex is a compact folding e-commuter with a 500W motor, 270lb weight capacity, and a useful cargo rack. The bike's looks, agile handling, abundant power, and excellent range impress testers. Experts say the Vika+ Flex is fun and practical and suits riders across a good range of sizes. However, the riding position is slightly cramped for taller riders. Buyers may need professional assistance to set up the mechanical brakes. Testers appreciate that the Vika+ Flex rides like a regular e-bike but folds down small, and they deem it to offer excellent value.
