where are blix bikes made
All of our bikes are assembled in Asia, where the majority of bicycle parts are produced. However, because we are heavily involved in the manufacturing process and frequently on-site, we have complete command of quality assurance and details throughout the entire supply chain.

The electric bike from Blix is sleek and modern. What distinguishes your electric bike from others on the market? When you were designing it, what were you hoping to accomplish?
The ease with which one can commute when using an electric bicycle is unquestionably its greatest benefit. Electric bicycles, on the other hand, are either prohibitively expensive for the average commuter or they don’t look or feel like a commuter bicycle. When we started working on our e-bike, we wanted to create something that was both simple and beautiful.
What country are you from? Why did you choose Santa Cruz as the location for your business?
We have a great mix of passion for bicycles and technology here, which gives us a solid foundation for growth as a business. Since the majority of bicycle commuters live in Northern California, we are able to better serve a wide range of customers and retailers from there. There are many things that contribute to a high quality of life in Santa Cruz, and that’s what matters.
