With so much talk the past several years about e-bikes being a substitute for vehicles, at times we find ourselves disappointed in the reality of how challenging it is to actually replace your car with an e-bike. So, as I dove into our review of the Blix Packa Genie, I continually asked myself a few
Good quality, value-priced e-cargo bike that lets you carry up to 400 lbs (up to 200 lbs of cargo)
Great handling for an e-cargo bike. Riding around I easily forgot that the bike is 81” long
Over 200+ accessory combos, making it easy to load the bike up with cargo and/or kids
Very long range with dual battery setup (up to nearly 80 miles in our real-world range test)
Powerful climbing hills, even when loaded up with weight
Good, quality components (hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano drivetrain)
Easy to get on/off thanks to 24” wheels and low, 19.4” step-over frame
This is me being super nit-picky, but I’d like to see a slightly larger front chainring. On PAS 5 you really don’t have to pedal much at all to get the bike cruising at 20 MPH.
You can do so much with this bike, and there are a ton of accessories already. I just want more – specifically some type of large cargo basket for the rear rack.

A fully-equipped electric cargo bike with fenders, integrated lights, USB charging port, and a large versatile rear rack. It comes in three colors, has an adjustable stem to improve fit, uses 24" wheels that make loading easy but still provide good comfort, and has a dual-battery option for extended range!
The Genie improves upon the original Packa model by granting three of the top customer wishes. It offers a more powerful 700 watt 90nm rated motor, can go further if you purchase the second battery, and has hydraulic brakes now vs. mechanical. It still offers pedal assist and throttle mode, but throttle overrides assist with full power!
Redesigned frame looks nice, adds stiffness, and makes the batteries easier to access, but this does raise the top tube a bit (higher standover). Dedicated attachment points make it easy to attach and pull a trailer. Features two Yepp! EasyFit windows and lots of proprietary rack, seat, and bag accessories.
Super stable adjustable double-leg kickstand and deflopilator spring makes it easy to load and unload. Reflective puncture-resistant tires improve safety. Two bottle cage mounts and a head tube rack mount add convenience and versatility. Cannot charge two batteries simultaneously, requires two chargers or one at a time.
