Its loading capability, for example, is up to 200 pounds. Even by cargo bike standards, it&#8217;s pretty impressive, with 150 pounds in the back and 50 pounds in the front. The Ultra also comes with a long list of high-performance specifications. It has a 750W rear hub motor that produces 90Nm of peak torque, making it among the more powerful hub-mounted motors available on the market.<\/p>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"image\" data-border=\"\" data-id=\"6712439\" data-title=\"\"><picture loading=\"lazy\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/bgg7Zn\/s1\/blix-introduces-the-ultra-dual-purpose-electric-bike.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/bgg7Zn\/s3\/blix-introduces-the-ultra-dual-purpose-electric-bike.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/bgg7Zn\/s2\/blix-introduces-the-ultra-dual-purpose-electric-bike.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/bgg7Zn\/s1\/blix-introduces-the-ultra-dual-purpose-electric-bike.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/bgg7Zn\/s3\/blix-introduces-the-ultra-dual-purpose-electric-bike.jpg\" alt=\"Blix Introduces The Ultra Dual-Purpose Electric Bike\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/bgg7Zn\/s3\/blix-introduces-the-ultra-dual-purpose-electric-bike.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/bgg7Zn\/s1\/blix-introduces-the-ultra-dual-purpose-electric-bike.jpg 2x\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/picture><\/section>\n<p>Blix has also equipped the Ultra with two <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/category\/battery-tech\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"8\" data-params=\"%7B%22section_route%22%3A%22news%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22battery-tech%22%7D\">batteries<\/a>, which, owing to their 1,344Wh capacity, can provide a ride range of up to 80 miles on a single charge.
