How to Change Your Blix Bike from Class 2 to Class 3

Blix bikes are designed with versatility in mind, allowing riders to switch between Class 2 and Class 3 modes depending on their needs. This guide will walk you through the process of changing your Blix bike from a Class 2 to a Class 3 using the Blix app, explain the differences between these classes, and provide troubleshooting tips for any issues that may arise.

Electric bikes are categorized into three main classes based on their speed capabilities and features:

• : Pedal-assist only with no throttle; maximum assisted speed is typically up to 20 mph.

• : Includes both pedal-assist and throttle options; maximum assisted speed is also up to 20 mph.

• : Pedal-assist only with no throttle; maximum assisted speed can reach up to approximately 28 mph.

To change your bike's mode from Class 2 (20 mph) to Class 3 (28 mph), follow these steps using an iPhone:

1. :

   • Open the App Store on your iPhone.

   • Search for "Blix Connect" or "Blix Bike" app (depending on availability).

   • Download and install it. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blix-connect/id6736794024?l=es-MX

2. :

   • Once installed, open the app by tapping "Open."

3. :

   • If you haven’t already created an account within the app, do so now. Otherwise, log in if you have one.

4. :

   • Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone.

   • Turn on your bike by pressing its power button.

   • Follow in-app instructions to pair it with your phone via Bluetooth.

5. :

   • Navigate through settings within the app until you find options related to class settings or speed limits.

   • Select “Class Mode” or similar option if available.

   • Choose “Class Mode: Off” or adjust settings manually if needed—typically this involves setting a higher top assist speed limit of about 28 mph for a Class 3 setup.

6. :

   • After making changes, ensure they’re applied correctly by checking your bike’s display if available or testing its performance during a ride.

The primary difference between a Class 2 e-bike like most standard models by Blix (e.g., Sol X Cruiser) and a Class 3 e-bike lies in their top speeds:

• Class 2: Provides assistance up until about ~20mph (32 km/h) without exceeding this threshold unless overridden via software adjustments.

• Class 3: Offers pedal assist at speeds reaching around ~28mph (45 km/h) but lacks throttle functionality beyond this point.

If you encounter issues while trying to switch modes:

1. : Ensure that both devices are close together during pairing attempts since proximity affects connectivity reliability.

2. : Restart both devices (bike & phone) before retrying connection attempts as sometimes simple reboots resolve connectivity glitches.

Currently, there might be limitations accessing certain features like switching modes directly through apps optimized primarily for iOS devices due largely because some functionalities aren't fully supported across platforms yet:

1. Use Another Device Temporarily: Borrow an iOS device temporarily just long enough change class settings via compatible apps available exclusively there currently.

However note recent updates indicate broader compatibility including Android support may become more prevalent moving forward. Keep checking official channels such as manufacturer websites forums social media etc., updates regarding expanded platform support!

By following these steps and understanding how different classes work, you should be able easily transition between them according specific riding preferences requirements!
