Our story

CAKE is a Scandinavian maker of premium electric vehicles, built on a clear mission to inspire and accelerate the transition towards a zero-emission society by combining excitement with responsibility.

Every component is engineered to maximise functionality, modularity, and efficiency. From the smallest detail to the overall riding experience, each element reflects a commitment to craftsmanship, purposeful design and sustainable thinking.

Our heritage & the road ahead

Founded in Stockholm in 2016 by Stefan Ytterborn, CAKE set out to redefine two-wheeled transport. In 2018 the first bike, Kalk was launched, an electric off-road motorcycle whose minimalist architecture earned it a permanent place in Sweden’s Nationalmuseum design collection. By 2024 four more platforms were released, earning fame by their original designs and characteristic approach. 

Following a period of industry-wide financial headwinds in early 2024, Norwegian investor and entrepreneur Espen Digernes acquired CAKE, ensuring the brand’s groundbreaking legacy lived on. Backed by renewed stability, optimised supply chains, and more than 200 international design and innovation awards, including Red Dot and iF Design Awards, CAKE continues forward with a refined focus and sustainable operations.

The Essence

Light, quiet, and clean—these aren't just adjectives, but a mantra that took shape in January 2018 with the unveiling of our first model, Kalk, and is being carried onwards and forward.

The power to weight ratio and absence of clutch or gears, caters for lighter vehicles, riding simplicity and excitement. It’s quiet, does not disturb, and foremost it doesn't pollute. All to prioritise matters of sustainability, responsibility and respect, in conjunction with an active life and the overall need for a change in urban transportation and commuting.

CAKE is more than a lineup of electric vehicles, it is a purposeful movement rethinking how the world moves.
