Your PIN can consist of either 3 or 6 digits. The available digits are 1, 2, or 3. A PIN can for example be “131”, “113”, “132212” or “123321”.

In the “ENTER YOUR PIN” screen, hold button 2 and 3 (middle and lower) simultaneously for 5 seconds.

Enter your new PIN.
Enter your new PIN again to confirm.
Your new PIN is now set, please restart the bike to make sure it works.

Lock

In order to keep your bike safe. It’s recommended to use an external lock that is recommended for motorcycles. When leaving your bike on the street, always turn the bike off and remove the key as well as the kill switch from the bike.

Steering lock

Lock the steering lock by turning the handlebar all the way to the left, insert the key into the steering lock and turn the key. You will feel how the handlebar will lock in that position, effectively making it impossible to ride the bike. The steering lock is found under the triple clamps between the fork legs.

Removal of the Battery

In order to remove the battery please follow the steps below. Make sure that the bike is standing securely before removing either the seat and/or the battery pack.
Removing the seat
Use a 5mm Hex key and unscrew the screws under the seat. Then pull the seat upwards and backward in order to remove the seat.
Removing the battery pack
Use a hex key to remove the 2 screws that hold the battery pack down. When removed, put away the 2 screws nearby. There are two steel rods holding the battery in place, make sure to lift the battery straight up using both hands. Note that the battery pack is very heavy, and you might want the help of a friend to assist.
When mounting the battery in the bike, make sure that there’s no dirt or objects on the battery rubber floor or where the connectors are. This can cause the battery to not connect properly. Look through the holes in the battery pack making sure that you match up the holes and the metal rods before gently sliding it down. Use the help of a friend if needed.
When you don’t have the battery inside the bike, always be careful when handling the battery. If dropped, inspect it visually and get in contact with a CAKE employee if there’s any damage to it.
Slide the seat on and make sure that the metal tongue gets full contact with the pin without any cables getting in the way. Before screwing on the 2 bolts in the rear seat, make sure that the seat has good contact with the carbon frame, both in the front and on the side.

Ownership and Operation

Maintenance

While CAKE bikes are low maintenance, they will perform best when cared for. To avoid stripping the screws avoid using power tools.
During removal, some bolts have Loctite in the threads (example: suspension system, footplate, and center stand). Use a heat gun to soften the Loctite to help avoid stripping these bolts. If additional leverage is needed, use a breaker bar or impact wrench. During installation, if the bolt had Loctite prior to removal be sure to add fresh Loctite of the correct grade before reinstalling (blue = #243, red = #271). Only a drop of Loctite is needed – do not soak the threadsin Loctite. Install the bolt and use a torque wrench to tighten the bolt to specification.

Cleaning

Always be cautious when cleaning the bike. The bikes electrical components can be damaged if cleaned improperly which can damage the bike, property and people.
Always make sure that the bike is standing firmly before washing and don’t forget to turn the bike off.
Never use a pressure washer or a water hose in order to clean the bike. It’s recommended to use pressurized air, a bucket of water together with a cloth and brush. When cleaning the chain, use a chain cleaner and scrub the chain with a brush. Repeat the cleaning before drying the chain and apply chain lube.
