The Dubbel is a brand-new electric bicycle designed to carry loads of cargo from Santa Cruz, California-based e-bike manufacturer Blix. The Dubbel, a spin on the term “double,” is made to accomplish exactly that: bear twice as much cargo as your run-of-the-mill e-bike. This is accentuated by its extended rear cargo rack that can double as a passenger seat, as well as its front-mounted cargo rack.<\/p>\n

The Dubbel, which was recently featured in an article by Electrek<\/em>, is what Blix is referring to as a “motorcycle-inspired compact utility e-bike<\/a> built for social adventures, family time, and practical utility use.” It may be motorcycle-inspired in terms of utility, but it still seems to convey the laid-back, cruiser-like charm for which Blix has become renowned. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the extended rear bench\/cargo rack and extra front cargo rack add to its rugged charm.<\/p>\n

The CEO and founder of Blix, Pontus Malmberg, stated in the same Electrek article that the Dubbel can accommodate a variety of demands and lifestyles. \u201cAdding more activity and enjoyment into the day-to-day will be crucial for people\u2019s wellbeing in the future. You need products that offer a really great experience for different lifestyles and needs; that combines functionality with compelling design and technology which work seamlessly in the everyday. That\u2019s why we developed the Dubbel.\u201d Malmberg stated.<\/p>\n

When it comes to performance, the Blix Dubbel is by no means a slouch. I mean, it\u2019s meant to carry the rider plus a passenger, and some cargo to boot, so it better be packing quite a punch. In fact, the bike has a 750W hub motor with a throttle that produces 90 Nm of torque. One or two 48V 14Ah batteries<\/a>, each with a capacity of 672Wh, or 1,344Wh combined, are included with the bike. The twin battery option allows for a range of up to 80 miles. The bike tips the scales at 31.8 kilograms, and gains an additional 3.6 kilograms with the addition of a second battery, but getting double the range is surely a worthy tradeoff.<\/p>\n

Supplementing the bike\u2019s healthy powertrain are 20 x 3.3-inch tires, which are smaller than conventional, but are designed to maximize efficiency, increase torque, and provide the bike with a lower standover height, thereby making it more accessible to riders of all shapes and sizes. Additionally, the bike gets an eight-speed drivetrain, allowing you to seamlessly pedal the bike be it assisted or unassisted\u2014assuming your intention is to get a workout in. Furthermore, when you have cargo, luggage, or a person on the rear rack, the step-through design makes mounting considerably easier.<\/p>\n

The Blix Dubbel is currently up for pre-order and should start arriving in October. The single battery variant will cost $1,999, while the double battery model will cost $2,499 at full retail. The bike’s three neutral colors\u2014Slate Gray, Bright White, and N\u00fc Cream\u2014give it a simple, though functional, look.<\/p>\n
