2023 Blix Ultra

Summary of the Blix Ultra E-Bike Review

Introducing the Blix Ultra, a versatile fat tire electric bike that effortlessly transitions between being a cargo bike and an all-terrain SUV. With its fat tires and wide array of accessories, this bike promises adventure and utility in one sleek package. The Blix Ultra is perfect for those who need a reliable ride for city commuting, off-road escapades, or hauling kids and cargo.

Starting at $2099 with a single battery, the Blix Ultra is also available in a dual battery option for $2499, which provides greater range and power, essential for carrying passengers or tackling longer rides. The single battery model is available only in white, while the dual battery model comes in a glossy gray finish, blending seamlessly with the bike’s fenders and other components.

The Blix Ultra is powered by a 750-watt motor, capable of peaking at 1300 watts and delivering 90 Nm of torque. This motor is paired with a dual battery system, where each battery operates independently, requiring separate keys and charging. The additional battery weighs 7.2 pounds, bringing the bike’s total weight to around 68 pounds with a single battery. This weight includes essential components like fenders and a suspension fork, but additional accessories like foot pegs, rear racks, and child guards are sold separately.

In terms of hardware, the Blix Ultra features a 135 mm hub spacing up front with a 9 mm axle quick release skewer, a basic coil spring suspension fork, ergonomic grips, and hydraulic disc brakes with two-finger adjustable levers and motor inhibitors for enhanced safety. The bike’s 180 mm rotors, dual piston calipers, and 190 mm dropout provide robust stopping power. The high-powered planetary geared hub motor is positioned securely, with a well-protected power cable and a design that minimizes the risk of damage.

The Blix Ultra’s frame is a high-step diamond design with a sloped top tube, making it approachable and sturdy. Despite its flexibility, the frame includes a gusset for added strength and a flat plate for mounting the battery. The bike comes with plastic fenders, which are lightweight and durable, avoiding issues like rusting seen with steel fenders. The drivetrain features an 8-speed micro shift system, with a 48-tooth steel chain ring protected by an aluminum alloy guide, ensuring the chain remains secure and clean.

Comfort and usability are key with the Blix Ultra. The 26×4.0 Chao Yang tires provide excellent traction and comfort, especially when ridden at lower pressures for soft terrain or off-road use. The bike’s adjustable components, including the handlebar and saddle, cater to different rider heights and preferences. Additionally, the bike supports various accessories, such as pannier hangers and a front tray, enhancing its utility.

The bike’s digital display offers essential information like current speed, pedal assist levels, and battery status. It is backlit and easily readable, with additional features accessible via the Blix app. The app allows riders to customize their experience, from changing units to controlling lights and locking the bike.

Overall, the Blix Ultra stands out for its versatility, robust build, and thoughtful design, making it a great choice for those seeking a reliable and adaptable electric bike.
