Blix Folding Bikes from Sweden have Arrived
This will be the season of the “European Invasion” here at Ashland Electric Bikes regarding additions to our model lineup for 2016. The first wave comes in the form of the Vika+ folding electric bike from Blix Bikes of Sweden. This is one swanky, stylish little folder that can!
The Vika+ sports a Bafang 350 watt geared motor, Panasonic 36V11AH lithium battery, Tektro V-brakes, fenders, rear rack, alloy side stand, lights, and of course, folding pedals. A beautiful Velo spring loaded leatherette seat and matching wrapped ergonomic grips make for a very comfortable ride. Four levels of pedal assist and manual throttle modes manage the power and Shimano Acera 7-speeds keep you in the game.. Highly adjustable seat post and telescopic handlebar stem allow the shortest as well as tallest riders to enjoy the Vika+.
The fit and finish are up to the level that you’d expect from European craftsmen. The ride is surprisingly stable for a folding bike which inherently possess more flex than standard frame bikes. The hinges and locking mechanisms are very solid; in fact, this is the best folding e-bike I’ve found in nine years in business. For a high quality e-folder at a surprisingly low price, the Vika+ from Blix cannot be beat. $1699 is all it takes to make it yours.
