Blix Introduces Foldable eBike with Cutting-Edge Technology, Enhanced Safety, and Versatility

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blix, a leading eBike company in the U.S., announces the launch of the Vika X, a groundbreaking foldable eBike designed with state-of-the-art technology to deliver enhanced safety features and one of the best ride performances available on the market.

The Vika X is engineered to provide a safer and easier riding experience, thanks to numerous innovative features such as an advanced torque sensor for responsive and smooth acceleration, and fully automated electronic gear and Pedal Assist Level shifting. The optional auto-shift feature seamlessly adjusts both gear shifting and motor power to match the rider's pedaling, offering an effortless riding experience and enhancing efficiency to achieve up to 70 miles battery range - the longest in the market for hub motor ebikes.

"The Vika X represents a significant leap forward in both technology, safety, and ease of riding," says Blix founder and CEO Pontus Malmberg.

A range of new features has been added to enhance riding safety, including enhanced visibility with brake lights, turn indicators, display with auto-adjusted backlighting that uses an ambient light sensor to adjust the screen's brightness based on the surrounding light, and even integrated high-beam headlight that provides 120 lux illumination at night. Additionally, a speaker-based electronic horn ensures riders are clearly heard in any environment, and hydraulic disc brakes for better stopping power.

"This new Vika X represents a significant leap forward in our mission to integrate health and activity into everyday life," says Blix founder and CEO Pontus Malmberg. "With its combination of cutting-edge technology and enhanced safety features, it's a compelling choice for both urban commuting and recreational riding."

The Vika X also offers app connectivity, allowing riders to control settings and switch between class 2 and 3 modes to get a top pedal speed up to 28mph, access useful data, and monitor service needs. Additionally, over-the-air firmware updates ensure the bike continues to improve throughout its lifespan.
