Cake 

The Swedish Cake Kalk OR is a Light Electric Off-Road Motorbikes (L.E.Os) that has already proven its off-road performance and innovation. The Kalk; named after Kalksten Limestone in Sweden; was developed for off-road use only, so this season Cake has tweaked the Kalk with a headlight, blinkers, more extended fenders with a license plate mount, different gearing, and higher top speed to create a street-legal version. The new Kalk& will have an official March website unveiling which will have more precise more specs, pricing, and performance, so you’ll be able to pre-order the bike with a $200 deposit with pricing around $13,000.

It will still use an industrial standard IPM motor, customized for CAKE and made in Europe. It’s a range 7-15 kW mid motor, powered by a 51.8 Volt, 50Ah battery for torque and range, conducted by specifically developed and tuned software, for the controller and dynamic performance.
With the intention of simplicity, promoting easiness in terms of riding as well as maintenance, it’s a light bike weighing in at 150 lbs, using a single pivot direct drive, reducing the number of heavy and moving parts.

The suspension is specifically developed, by Öhlins supporting the category of hi-performance at minimum weight.
 Nothing has been left aside and every part including axles, hubs, cockpit, sprockets, and even the tires, have been explicitly designed and engineered for the ultimate experience. The light and snappy ride, with its focus on off and on trail riding, in the outback, means that its main character is about torque and acceleration while providing a quiet gliding and surfy experience.
 Thanks to its digital presetting, serving for three different riding modes, it will let anyone fly at their personal level.
