Reviewers say the Sol Eclipse is a very comfortable ride.

In one test, the bike achieved 35.5 miles on pedal assist level 5 and 53 miles on level 3, exceeding the listed range.
The Sol Eclipse comes in a choice of four colors: Seafoam, Slate Grey, Sky Blue, and Sorbet.
A tool-free adjustable stem and quick-release seatpost make it easy to adjust fit for riders from 5’1” to 6’2”.

6 reasons not to buy

The throttle is active with pedal assistance off. Some testers consider this a safety risk.
An expert laments inconsistent power increases across assist levels and negligible power at levels 1 and 2.
Buyers must pay extra for fenders, a rack, and a rear light.
At 54.7lb without fenders or a rack, this bike is on the heavy side.
The Sol Eclipse is only available in one size.
A tester says the mechanical disc brakes require more effort at the lever than hydraulic brakes.

Bottom line

Blix’s Sol Eclipse is an electric beach cruiser with a “powerful” 750W motor and eye-catching style. Testers say responsive, easily controlled power and relaxed handling make it ideal for beginners. The bike is praised for its comfortable, “fun” ride and solid range. However, the Sol Eclipse is somewhat heavy. Additionally, experts note a lack of power at assist levels 1 and 2 and see the always-on throttle as a safety risk. That said, the Sol Eclipse earns high marks and is deemed a “solid” e-cruiser option at this price point.
