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!
Facts
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 agree the Vika+ Flex is a "joy" to ride.
- Reviewers appreciate the balance of nimble handling and stability.
- This bike comes with integrated lights, alloy fenders, and a "pleasingly loud" bell.
- The 55lb-rated rear rack supports Thule Yepp child seats and has standard pannier hangers and bungee loops.
- This bike fits riders from 4'10" to 6'2", with easily adjustable handlebar height.
- The Vika+ Flex folds down to a relatively compact 36" x 21" x 28".
- 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 "very respectable" speeds with low battery charge.
- Experts are pleased with the braking power.
- 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 easy-to-use RevoShift shifter is less prone to damage when the bike is folded or transported.
- Experts appreciate the range of practical, easy-mount accessories.
5 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.
- An expert notes that setting up Tektro Aries brakes "can be a little tricky."
- 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 is 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 "elegant" 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. Additionally, 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 so small, and deem it to offer very good value.Expert Reviews
