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.
