the functions and operation of this vehicle before you drive.
To get the most out of your Kalk, electric motorcycle, and to ensure safe
operation, it’s critical that you fully understand the features of this bike. This
manual includes important information that every rider needs to fully un-
derstand. Please study this manual cautiously in its entirety before your first
ride on your new CAKE, Kalk. Do not ride the motorcycle until you’ve attained
enough understanding of its controls and features.

the unboxing manual and how to unpack and assemble the bike.
The manual features easy step-by-step guidance with pictures and what
tools are needed.
1.3 Getting started
Before you are ready to take your first ride on the Kalk. Please follow the
steps below to make sure to not make any damage to the vehicle, property
or injure yourself or others. During transportation, the bike might have become
damaged. We can’t guarantee the bikes drivability as it’s been strapped
down for up to several weeks before you receive it. During this time, some
components might have become loose or even damaged.
• Read the manual and understand the information. If anything is unclear,
please get in touch with us.
• Charge the battery.
• Make sure that the handlebar is tightened firmly and in a comfortable
driving position.
• Check the suspension.
• Go to www.ridecake.com/manuals and see the Öhlins user manual on
how to tune your suspension properly. The suspension is racing grade,
in order to get the most of your CAKE Kalk, it’s important to tune
the suspension according to your body weight and riding style.
• Make sure that the headset is tightened correctly.
• Go through the chapter ”Regular Inspection and Maintenance”
and go through the checklist on ”Before each ride”.
2. General information
2.1 Safety advice
Riding
When riding a CAKE bike for the first time, there are a few things to consider.
The bike has an electric motor with instant torque and a primary drive with
no gears which means you have all the power available at all times in the
throttle. It’s very sensitive and it’s highly recommended to start riding in the
1st riding mode to get used to this kind of vehicle.
There is no clutch on the CAKE Kalk, instead, you have the rear brake positioned
on the left side of the handlebar. This means that there are neither rear brake
or gear shifter to be found by the rider’s feet. This can feel very unnatural for
experienced combustion motorcyclists.
• Never ride the bike under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•Never ride the bike on public roads.
• Never ride 2 persons on the bike.
• Always check your local laws and regulations where to ride.
• For o-road/racing purposes only. Not for highway use.

Brakes
Please note that, unlike a regular petrol motorcycle, both the rear and the
front brake is located on the handlebar and there is no foot brake. The rear
brake is located on the left side of the handlebar and the front brake is located
on the right side of the handlebar.
Kill switch
The kill switch is located on the right side of the handlebar. When the kill switch
is connected with the magnet, the bike is activated.
Master switch
Kill switch
Stem
Rear brake Dashboard Front brake ThrottleGrip
When you are done riding or in case of an emergency, pull the kill switch
to turn o the bike.
ALWAYS wear the kill switch strap around your wrist when riding. This is to
prevent further damage to the rider, the vehicle or other property. When falling,
losing control or feeling unsafe, release your right hand from the handlebar
and pull it back, this will disconnect the kill switch and turn the bike o.
ALWAYS
disconnect the kill switch when not riding. As the bike makes no noise
when on standby mode, it’s impossible for bystanders to know if the bike is
on or not. This can cause accidents if people are pulling the throttle while
expecting a turned o bike.
Dashboard
The dashboard on the stem is the bikes control panel. Here you can see the
bikes SOC (state of charge), Ride mode, Brake mode and warning notifications.
State Of Charge indicator
The application also contains Battery SOC estimator, which estimates SOC of
the battery using an algorithm. SOC is displayed with 4 LEDs on the dashboard.
Initialization procedur
Controller is getting information from battery during initialization procedure.
This state is indicated by gradually increasing white LEDs on dashboard.
There are two special states, in which initialization color change from white
to yellow or orange. These information is showed after startup for hours
specifed in parameter serdur.
100% -80%
40% - 20%
80% - 60%
20% - 10%
60% - 40%
10% - 0%
These colors indicate information about service intervals to the user:

Brake mode, the knob to the right
On the knob to the right, you can put the bike into 3 dierent braking modes.
This ranges from a freewheel experience, much of what you feel on an MTB,
which is suited for mellow riding on flats, to a hard engine brake, that is similar
to the engine brake on a 4-stroke motorcycle, which is suited for technical riding.
All the energy from the braking goes back into the battery for extended range.
Brake mode 1
No motor brakes. Gives the same sensation as riding a bike, perfect for mellow
riding and the ultimate freedom experience.
Brake mode 2
Moderate engine brake. As you release the throttle you feel the bike slowing
down at a slow pace. This can boost your confidence when riding a bit more
technical terrain as you get better control over the bike. The braking power is
regenerated to the battery for extra range.
Brake mode 3
Hard engine break. When releasing the throttle, the bike will slow down
significantly. This could be uncomfortable for novice riders as the braking
is quite hard. This brake mode is best suited for technical tracks where full
control for the bike is needed. All the braking power is regenerated to back
to charge the battery for extended range.
Power mode, the knob to the left
There are 3 dierent power modes to choose from when riding the bike.
Never ride the bike above your comfort level and always ride according to
your personal riding skills. We always recommend a new CAKE-rider to start
on the first mode to get used to the bike and the dierences between an
electric motor and an Internal combustion engine. The 3 dierent ride modes
have dierent attributes in terms of top speed, acceleration, and torque to
suit riders of all riding levels, from beginners to professionals.
Power mode 1 - Easy
This mode is ALWAYS recommended when riding a CAKE bike for the first
time. It has a limited top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) and soft acceleration.
This power mode still has a high torque for rideability o-road as well as
something for new riders to progress with. This mode is perfect for tracks
where control is more valued than power.
Power mode 2 - Medium
With a top speed of 70 km/h and a good acceleration, this mode is perfect for
enduro riding out in the woods.
Power mode 3 - Full
With no restrictions when it comes to the performance, this mode is perfect
when you need all power available. This mode is highly recommended for
highly skilled riders only.
2.3 Starting procedure
Before you start the vehicle, please remember that this is an all-electric vehicle
which is completely silent when it’s on.
Battery connected
To see if the battery is connected properly. Remove the seat by unscrewing
the 2 screws found under the saddle with a 5 mm Allen key. When the saddle
is removed, check that the battery is screwed down with the two screws
properly, so it’s secure and has no play. Make sure that the black 8 pin
connector on the top of the battery is connected properly so that the grove inside
the connector is aligned with the mating connector and that the connectors
are locked together by screwing the the latch on the battery connector. You
can leave the battery connected the bike for longer periods of time, such as
storage, as long as you turn o the master switch.
The master switch
The master switch is the silver button between the front of the seat and the
triple clamp.
When the master switch is turned o, all electricity in the bike is turned o as
well as the battery is disconnected from the the system. The master switch
needs to be turned on (pressed down) in order to start and ride the bike.
Press the button again to turn the bike O.
