Bike Size Charts

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 Vika X. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

12 reasons to buy

  • Experts find the Vika X easier to fold and more portable than similarly priced folders.
  • This bike has frame-integrated magnets to hold it together when folded.
  • Testers praise the smooth and natural-feeling pedal assist and "fluid" acceleration.
  • Experts appreciate the Vika X’s maneuverability and responsive steering.
  • One reviewer commends the stable handling.
  • In a max PAS range test, a reviewer gets 39.6 miles on a flat, paved route at an average speed of 15.9mph. Another gets 24.7 miles of throttle-only range on a hilly test course.
  • The Vika X achieves shorter-than-average stopping distances in one publication’s standardized test.
  • This bike has electronic shifting.
  • The 2.4" tires have puncture protection, and a tester says they provide good traction on pavement.
  • The Vika X comes with a 120-lux headlight with high and low beams, a rear light with turn signals and brake activation, fenders, and a rear MIK-HD-compatible cargo rack rated for 59.5lb.
  • Blix's Connect app allows users to swap between Class 2 and Class 3 top speeds, customize the auto shifting, and view ride statistics.
  • Reviewers compliment the Vika X’s sleek, clean look.

5 reasons not to buy

  • Testers complain of limited gearing (46t, 13-32t) that results in ghost pedaling above around 18mph.
  • Reviewers find the auto-shift feature clunky. One says it shifts awkwardly, and another says it shifts slowly on hills.
  • One expert says the “soft” brake levers must be pressed down halfway to engage the brake.
  • Reviewers find the ride bumpy over broken pavement.
  • A 6'2" tester finds the bike cramped despite being rated for 4'10" to 6'2". This rider also notes flex in the stem when it's fully extended.

Bottom line

The Blix Vika X is an entry-level folding e-bike with 20” wheels, a 500W motor, and a 614.4Wh battery. Experts praise the bike’s maneuverability, range, natural pedal assist, powerful brakes, useful accessories. However, the gearing is inadequate to ride at Class 3 speeds, and reviewers complain that the auto-shifting is clunky. The height range is wide but slightly exaggerated. Overall, reviewers deem the “feature-packed” and portable Blix Vika X good value.
