Experts agree the Aveny Skyline offers great value for money.
Testers enjoy the ride comfort from the "laid back" geometry and shock-absorbing steel fork.
The Aveny exceeds Blix's listed 45-mile range in testing, achieving 35.5 miles on pedal assist level 5 and 53 miles on level 3.
This bike comes with full-length fenders, a 55lb-capacity cargo rack, and integrated lights with brake activation.
Experts compliment the Aveny Skyline's looks and paintwork.
Reviewers say this bike accelerates quickly at high assist levels and easily cruises at speed.
Experts relish the "very controlled and responsive" assistance.
According to testers, the Aveny Skyline is easy to pedal with the motor off.
Reviewers like the clean cockpit and large display that is easy to read.
The throttle operates at all pedal assist levels. Experts say it's easy to modulate.
In testing, the Aveny Skyline's braking distances are shorter than average.
Reviewers value how approachable this bike is with its low-step frame and out-of-the-way battery.
The wide, padded seat features a large handle, making it easier to maneuver the bike.

6 reasons not to buy

A 6'1" tester says the seat is too low and the swept-back bars are too close, despite being listed for riders from 5'1" to 6'2"
One expert finds that the fenders rattle and require tuning to stop tire rub.
Because of frustrating intermittent motor whine, a reviewer calls their Aveny "noisy."
Testers and users find the Aveny Skyline to be slow when climbing steep hills.
Misaligned screw holes frustrate one reviewer's attempt to fit a Blix rear cargo basket.
Some users' bikes arrived poorly packed. One complains of bent parts and manufacturing defects.

Bottom line

The Blix Aveny Skyline is a stylish e-commuter with a 500W motor, upright riding position, and choice of four eye-catching colors. Testers appreciate how the "balanced" Aveny feels like a regular bike, even with the motor off. The responsive assistance, range, "quality" components and finish, and ride comfort impress. However, underwhelming hill-climbing performance disappoints, and experts report that riders over 6' might feel cramped. Overall, reviewers see the Aveny Skyline as a "bargain" and the perfect bike path cruiser, ideal for urban environments.

Blix Aveny Review

Level 1 expert

… I think the main thing that’s going to attract somebody, probably a woman (not necessarily so), is that it is stylish, it is comfy. What more can I say? It’s a nice, nice bicycle.
