riding reviews

”Like flying down an endless DH course with no need for a hill."
Robin Wallner
Ibis cycles Enduro race team
”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"
-BikeRumor
”The Kalk OR is a super light bike with face-melting amounts of all-electric torque and the most premium parts."
- Digital trends
”Super light, super torque, insane. Must be worlds fastest bike on narrow trails."
Robert Kvarnström
2x Swedish enduro champion, world championship contender

both proffessionals and beginners love this bike

Classified as Off-road, no special licence is required. This bike got wheels adapted for the race course but the sense of control makes it easy to ride even for beginners. Few moving parts, no filters, no oils – life gets easier with your CAKE.

about Kalk INK

The Kalk INK is based on the same technology as the Kalk OR. Same powerful drivetrain with slightly heavier and stable wheels and a simplified yet sturdier suspension. It’s all about fast, hassle free and thrilling backcountry exploration, without polluting or disturbing.

More about the Kalk INK

The focus on developing the Kalk Models has been off-road performance and innovation.
As there wasn’t anything off-the shelf to support the category, every single component had to be developed from an empty sheet, to support the intended level of quality and durability:
The sizing, the geometry and engineering of axles, hubs, rims, the cockpit and suspension, as well as building and customising the different parts of the drivetrain, together with developing a whole new chassis; having led to numerous patent pendings, constitutes the introduction of a new category, the Light Electric Off Road Motorbikes (L.E.Os). Please note that KalkINK is developed for off-road use only.
