Kalk - Our heritage
The roots of our DNA, marking the beginning of an era of emission-free, high-performance, and sustainable mobility solutions.
Bike Rumour
”The reason the Kalk works so well is the use of a frame, a motor, suspension, wheels, tires, and cockpit all designed specifically for this weight class and riding style. Nothing is over or under-built, and that means lightweight, high performance."
Revival Cycles
"Of the e-bike craze, this is the finest one made."
Hiconsumption
“Thanks to an envelope-pushing powertrain with gobs of torque and a ridiculously light curb weight, the riding experience offered by the Kalk is genuinely unlike anything else out there.”
Light, quiet and clean
Light, quiet, and clean - these aren't merely adjectives, but a mantra that took shape in January 2018 with the unveiling of our first model, Kalk.
The Kalk platform is not just an assortment of electric off-road motorcycles; it's an embodiment of our commitment to purpose, performance, quality, and innovative design. It stands as a testament to CAKE's revolutionary approach to electric midsize off-road motorcycling, heralding an era of emission-free, high-performance, and sustainable mobility solutions.
The next generation
In 2023, the new platform Bukk was launched - the next level in the category of lightweight electric motorcycles.
The robust build, at only 89 kg, provides 456 Nm of instant torque. Built lighter and tougher for a new riding experience, the highly connected software features are combined with the finest aircraft alloy components, state-of-the-art drivetrain, and the most precision-tuned premium suspension. Everything to extend product lifetime, minimize maintenance, and make the lightest competitive enduro bike on the market.

The specs, such as range, speed and power are not estimated by CAKE. The numbers are the result from the European homologation test, WMTC-II. (performed in a controlled environment and might differ from regular use) • Peak power is the maximum power the power supply can sustain for a short time. • The actual range depends on a number of different aspects, e.g. riding style, rider weight, weather conditions, temperature, road surface and tire pressure. • The actual energy storage capabilities of the battery can vary from the nominal rated capacity. • Torque values based on motor specifications. • Charging time may differ depending on the voltage in the local grid. • All specifications are subject to change without notice. • It is the buyer’s/owner’s responsibility to ensure all local rules, regulations, classifications and license requirements are followed.
