2023 Blix

Dubbel

A feature-complete utility electric bike with extra large off-road tires! It comes with a sturdy rear rack that can be used for a passenger if you get the pad and pegs, two integrated lights, and steel fenders. Excellent bags, baskets, and child seat options too.

Deep step-thru frame is easy to mount and stand over. Adjustable handlebar and seat post offer good fit, but the bike only comes in one size. There are three nice color options, the 8-speed drivetrain is above average, and the hydraulic disc brakes have motor inhibitors.

Streamlined smartphone app allows for trip planning with GPS, locking the bike, and adjusting from Class 2 to Class 3 high speed performance. Very powerful hub motor, high resolution pedal assist, trigger throttle on the left, sturdy Wellgo pedals, and two bottle mount locations.

The 3.3" extra-wide tires provide stability, float, and traction. The fork and fenders are steel, so they may rust if scratched. The bike is fairly heavy, and the kickstand hangs down low. Separate keys for the dual battery option, charger is light and compact but kind of slow, bike is very heavy.

750W hub motor offers terrific power, but the fact that it can produce 90Nm of torque, which not only makes it a beast on hills, that much torque makes it a beast even when loaded.

Terrific frame design integrates the rack into the frame and its step-thru design makes it suitable to riders of a fairly wide range of heights.

8-speed drivetrain not only offers one more gear than most similar bikes as well as a wider range of gears with more low-end for hills.

Thanks to Blix’ smartphone app, riders can toggle between Class 2 and 3 performance, check battery health, navigate routes, connect with other Blix owners and more, making for a much richer and more rewarding experience.

The Dubbel comes with many mounting points for accessories and Blix offers a huge collection of accessories to customize the Dubbel.

An optional second battery to extend the range up to 80 mi. per charge means saying goodbye to range anxiety.

Thanks to the combo of the frame design and the myriad of ways to outfit it, the Dubbel holds appeal to just about any prospective buyer as it fits most any use case shy of performance racing or MTB.

The display is integrated with the PAS selector and displays only one data point at a time. Riders can connect the Blix app to the bike and use a phone as a full display though.

The Dubbel’s two-legged kickstand is handy for loading up the bike with cargo, but its design when up is one of the lowest to the ground we’ve seen and it can nick a curb if you ride too closely to one.
