Blix Sol X
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!

8 reasons not to buy
- A tester finds that after changing the bike's speed settings, the motor's power output is inconsistent, sometimes struggling to reach 25mph and other times exceeding 28mph.
- The rear rack is supported by the fender instead of a second set of frame struts. One expert questions the stated 60lb capacity.

- A reviewer reports the battery readout is inconsistent, with pedal assist shutting off while showing 11% charge remaining.
- One tester says power is unevenly distributed between the PAS levels in Class 3 mode.
- With a minimum seat height of 32”, shorter riders in the 5’1” to 6’2” height guide are unlikely to fit.
- A companion Bluetooth app is required to change the bike from Class 2 to 3.
- Blix’s customer support is rated poorly for being unresponsive and not resolving frequent manufacturer defects.
Bottom line
The Blix Sol X is a beach cruiser e-bike with a 750W motor and 614.4Wh battery. Electronic shifting and the Auto PAS mode impress testers at this price, but the automatic shifting is very clunky and not worth using. Experts praise the ride comfort, stable handling, responsive PAS, powerful motor, and strong brakes. Complaints mention the inconsistent battery meter, inaccurate sizing, a questionable rear rack mounting, and poor support from Blix. Overall, reviewers see Blix's Sol X as an excellent value option for recreational rides.
