”Like flying down an endless DH course with no need for a hill."

- Robin Wallner, Ibis cycles Enduro race team

BikeRumor

”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."

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.”

Revival Cycles

"Of the ebike craze, this is the finest one made."

Midsize - A new category of bikes

Ride Modes

The ultimate mode during exploration. Top speed limited to 45 km/h (28mph) with 3-4 hours of battery range.

With 1-2 hours of riding time, a top speed of 70km/h and snappy acceleration, this mode is perfect for enduro riding out in the woods.

The perfect choice when you need all power available. Maximum torque and speed, no restrictions when it comes to performance. Up to 1 hour of riding time.

Braking Modes

No simulated motor braking. Feels like riding a bike, perfect for smooth, relaxed sessions.

Similar to 2-stroke motor braking, with energy regeneration. As you release the throttle you feel the bike slowing down at a slow pace.

Similar to 4-stroke motor braking, with energy regeneration. The bike will slow down significantly when the throttle is released. A good choice for technical tracks when full control of the bike is needed.

Components

The Kalk features a lightweight and class-leading, powerful battery with premium lithium cells for the best possible range. The battery is easily removable and can be charged when installed on the bike or separately.

The external charger uses standard 110v/220v outlets and gets you from 0 to 80% in two hours, 0 to 100% in three hours.

With a superior power to weight ratio, the mighty drivetrain of the Kalk& delivers 252 Nm's of powerful, rear wheel torque.

Featuring 204mm travel, the premium Öhlins three-staged air spring can be individually set for high or low speed compression and rebound adjustments. The custom designed 19” motorcycle rims together with dual sport motorcycle tires are designed to meet the demands of riding on paved urban roads as well as trails.
