Cake Kalk: Redefining Off-Road Biking with Electricity

Lightweight Electric Off-Road Motorbikes by Cake Design Team

Imagine a clean outback, void of pollution, noise, and maintenance. This is the dream that inspired the Cake Design Team to create the Cake Kalk, a high-performance electric off-road motorbike that combines excitement with responsibility. This award-winning design is not just about speed and performance; it's about respect for the environment and those who share it.

The Cake Kalk is not your typical motorbike. Every component of this bike has been made from scratch to optimize riding performance in this new category. The team's meticulous attention to detail and consideration for sustainability are evident in every aspect of the bike, from its lightweight design to its nearly silent operation.

Powered by a 15 kW mid motor and a 51.8 Volt, 50Ah battery, the Cake Kalk offers impressive torque and range. The bike's software has been specifically developed and tuned for dynamic performance. With a weight of less than 70 kilos and a single pivot direct drive, the Cake Kalk is designed for simplicity, ease of riding, and low maintenance.

But the Cake Kalk is more than just a motorbike; it's a statement. "It’s all about the outdoors. - Explore with respect," says the Cake Design Team. This ethos is reflected in the bike's design, which promotes a level of respect for the surroundings and those sharing the space, whether they be fellow hikers, wild animals, or neighbors.

The Cake Kalk is a testament to the power of innovation and the potential of electric vehicles. It's a bike that doesn't compromise on performance or sustainability, and it's setting the standard for future off-road motorbikes. The Cake Kalk was awarded the Golden A' Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design Award in 2019, a testament to its outstanding design and trendsetting capabilities.

The Cake Design Team, based in Stockholm, Sweden, is made up of CEO Stefan Ytterborn, Product Manager Marcus Carlsson, Lead designer David Gonzalez, and Nils Ytterborn, who is in charge of Software and supply chain. The team's dedication to creating a high-performance, sustainable off-road motorbike has resulted in a product that is not only functional and efficient but also respectful of the environment and those who share it.

In conclusion, the Cake Kalk is more than just a motorbike; it's a symbol of what is possible when design, innovation, and respect for the environment come together. It's a bike that challenges the status quo and pushes the boundaries of what an off-road motorbike can be. The Cake Kalk is not just a bike; it's a movement towards a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable future.
