A category of its own

Light & Powerful
Up to 280 Nm of rear-wheel torque, housed in a lightweight chassi, creates a unique power to weight ratio.
Quiet
The Kalk combines leading lightweight and sturdiness at maximum performance. No pollution, no disturbance. Explore with respect.
Clean
Electric drivetrain means zero emissions of carbon dioxide from riding. It also means that you can forget about fumes, oil changes, and filling up fuel.

Who needs a car? No parking fines and baskets for my
deliveries. So fun to ride, people are smiling and waving
wherever I go!"

-Mirja Bozarth Fornell, Owner, Boz Arts

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.”

  • *Disclaimers

    The street legal bikes are homologated for the specific country the bike is delivered to. That means that lights, blinkers and other “street legal necessities” might differ in look, style and dimensions, everything to meet the local regulations. Accordingly, details might look different from the product photo. • Images show fully specced vehicles. • 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.
