Cake Kalk&
Cake’s Kalk& is an all-encompassing e-moto that boasts the title of the company’s first-ever road-legal platform. Aside from its award-winning design principle, futuristic styling, and off-road orientation, this interesting cycle also features improved range and speed over its predecessor, making it a valuable proposition for the urban commuter. If you’re tired of sticking to the city’s tightly-packed streets, you can utilize the Kalk& on your favorite trail, back road, or alleyway, thanks to its dirt bike-inspired layout. A capable suspension system, lightweight chassis, and slimline silhouette pair nicely with the bike’s 2.6 kWh lithium-ion battery, giving it an expansive 83-mile range and 56 mile-per-hour top speed. When you’re out of juice, the Kalk&’s quick 2.5-hour charge time ensures that you’ll be back on the road with minimal effort.

Battery Capacity: 2.6 kWh Range: 83 miles depending on use Top Speed: 56 miles-per-hour Weight: 174 lbs

Purchase: $14,000



Huh? This thing looks like a bike that some fifth grader put a small motor on for his science fair project. For FOURTEEN THOUSAND dollars?! A much better looking, real motorcycle that looks better, has farther range, sounds much better, can refuel in minutes, can be purchased for WAY less. I don;t know who would buy any of these things except maybe some rich guy as another toy. These electric bikes aren't gonna be popularized until their msrp comes way down, below a similar real motorcycle. Motorcycles already get great mileage/are cheap to drive. Electrics can't argue much savings in fuel!

The fine print sez that it may have a top speed of 56mph but if you travel that fast it’ll run out of charge in about 20 miles. These promos for electric vehicles never tell the real truth.
