CAKE is a Swedish company whose main aim is to create high-performance bikes that contribute to a zero-emission society, with a bit of fun and flair thrown in. The CAKE KALK Electric Off-Road Motorbike represents their first foray into achieving this end.
Each component of this limited edition bike has been lovingly manufactured and assembled to achieve this, from the sizing, geometry, and engineering of the axles, hubs, rims, cockpit, and suspension to the customization of the drivetrain and the new chassis. The result is a bike that is perfectly made for off-road performance, with an industrial graded 15 kW IPM motor customized by CAKE that uses a 51.8 Volt 50Ah battery for torque and range.
While it packs quite a punch, its light frame tops out at just under 150 pounds and uses a single pivot direct drive, which reduces the number of hefty moving parts. Its suspension has also been developed by Öhlins with the specific aim of high performance at a minimum weight, offering a light and zippy ride for both on- and off-road riding. With a digital presetting, even the most inexperienced novice can enjoy gliding over the terrain.
