General information

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 off-road/racing purposes only. Not for highway use.

Controls and Power modes

WARNING: Read and understand this manual and its safety instructions before using this product. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. The product shall only be used as described by the manufacturer. Any other use is considered unprofessional and dangerous.
Rider controls and Components

  • Grips,
  • Throttle,
  • Kill switch,
  • Rear brake,
  • Front brake,
  • Stem,
  • Dashboard,
  • Master switch

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. When you are done riding or in case of an emergency, pull the kill switch to turn off 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 off.

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. 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 off 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 includes a Battery SOC estimator, which uses an algorithm to estimate the SOC of the battery. SOC is displayed using 4 LEDs on the dashboard.

Initialization procedure

The controller is getting information from battery during the 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. This information is showed after startup for hours specifed in parameter serdur.

These colors indicate information about service intervals to the user:

Performance state indicator

This application informs the user about performance limiters/issues on dashboards LEDs. Below is the list of indicated states (The most upper thing has the most prior visualization on dashboard):

Brake mode, the knob to the right

The bike has 3 different brake modes. All three are pre-configures from start, ranging 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. One of the pre-configured modes can be customized according to your driving behaviour via the CAKE Connect app. All energy from 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.
Note: The custom brake mode is either brake mode 1 or 3 depending on model year. (Mode 1 for Kalk models from late 2021 and mode 3 for models previous to that). Configure this mode by creating an account in the CAKE Connect app choose your settings from there.

Power mode, the knob to the left
The bike has 3 different 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 differences between an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. The 3 different power modes are pre- configured from start and have different attributes in terms of top speed, acceleration, and torque to suit riders of all riding levels, from beginners to professionals. One of the pre-configured modes can be customized according to your driving behaviour via the CAKE Connect app.

Power mode 1

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 off-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

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

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.
Note: The custom power mode is either brake mode 1 or 3 depending on model year. (Mode 1 for Kalk models from late 2021 and mode 3 for models previous to that). Configure this mode by creating an account in the CAKE Connect app choose your settings from there.

Starting procedure

Before you start the vehicle, please remember that this is an all-electric vehicle which is completely silent when it’s on.

With new factory wheels, you have to check and tighten the spokes after riding. To make sure the wheels are in their best shape you need to tighten the spokes after your first rides of a couple of hours. You will find some loose spokes for sure, this is because the spokes and rim will work a bit when they are new. Be sure that when you start to tighten your spokes the hub is completely cooled down, because the braking hubs get warm.  Tighten your spokes as follow. Use a spoke wrench and tighten the nipple which is found where the spoke and rim meets. Check all spokes with your spoke wrench and tighten loose spokes. Don’t tighten loose spokes too firm otherwise you will pull the wheel out of his straight position. Spokes that are still tightened don’t need to be tightened extra firm. Keep repeating to check the spokes after your second and third ride. You will find that the spokes keep nicely tightened because they are now ”settled” in the hub and rim.  Now your CAKE wheels are ready to race. Keep checking your spokes regularly. By checking regularly, we don’t mean that the spokes have to be tightened every time. You just need to make sure that there are no loose spokes in the wheel. If you tighten the spokes every time you check them the result can be that after a while the spokes are all way too tight. Keep in mind: A spoke needs to have the possibility to “stretch” with big impacts. When the spokes are over tightened the spoke cannot stretch and it can break.

  • Check that the tires are inflated with the correct pressure.
  • Check the tires tread pattern is at least 3 mm deep.
  • Check for bent spokes.
  • Check that all spokes have the correct tension.
  • Check that the brake discs are straight.
  • Check that the axle of the front wheel is tightened correctly.
  • Check that the rear axle is tightened correctly.
  • Check that the axle of the rear wheel is adjusted correctly and evenly on both sides, according to the swing arm markings.

Handlebar and Cockpit

Headset

Make sure that the headset bolt is tightened firmly and that there is no play between the head tube and triple clamps when suspending the forks. Adjusting the handlebar angle See the instruction video on

ridecake.com/en/makka-manuals-and-videos/.

  • Tool: Allen key 5 mm.
  1. Loosen the 4 stem bolts.
  2. Adjust the handlebar angle and center the handlebar. Make use of the handlebar guidelines.
  3. Tighten the 4 stem bolts to 10 Nm.
  4. Ensure to tighten the upper and lower bolts equally. Check that the gap
    • (A) between the upper and lower stem is equal. See Fig 1.

Suspension

Linkage
Read the Öhlins manual at www.ridecake.com/manuals to change the factory settings for your bodyweight and riding style. If the bike is not used for longer periods of time, the fork might start leaking oil. This is due to that the rubber gaskets dry up. It’s therefore recommended not to let your bike stand for too long periods at a time. Make sure that the linkage has no damage. Make sure that all bolts on the linkage is firmly tightened.

Brakes

Look at the front and rear calipers to see that they or the brake brackets are not damaged. Look at the front and rear brake pads to see that they are not worn out. Look in the window to see that there is enough brake fluid in the brake housings on the handlebar. Make a brake test to check that both the front and rear brake works properly.

Remove and Installation

Battery and Seat

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 5 mm 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 in order to remove the 2 screws that’s holding 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 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 help of a friend if needed.Disconnect the black 8 pin connector on the top of the battery by unscrewing the latch on the connector and pull the battery apart. When connecting the battery connector again, make sure that the connector from the bike is stowed away so it is not squeezed between the battery and the battery compartment. When connecting the black 8 pin connector, the grove on the inside of the connector should align with the mating connector before connecting them, proceed by screwing the the latch on the battery connector to lock them together. When you don’t have the battery inside the bike, always be careful handling the battery. If dropped, inspect it visually and get in contact with a CAKE 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.

Owning and Operation

Maintenance and Repairs

DANGER: Use only original parts. High voltage components should only be serviced by trained technicians. Do not probe or modify high voltage cables. Alterations and technical modifications are prohibited and void the warranty. Repairs should be done only by qualified technicians.

California Specific Warnings

WARNING: California Proposition 65 – Exposure to lithium-ion batteries can cause cancer and reproductive harm. California Perchlorate Advisory – Special handling may apply for service or disposal of lithium batteries. For more information go to: dtsc.ca.gov. Maintaining the bike is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Clean the bike after use and conduct regular inspections. Charge to at least 30% SOC and turn off with the main switch for extended non-use.

Cleaning

Always be cautious when cleaning the bike. The bikes electrical components can be damaged if cleaned improperly which can damage the bike, property or persons. 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 chain cleaner and scrub the chain with a brush. Repeat the cleaning before drying the chain and apply chain lube.

Storing

To ensure that your CAKE Kalk is always in good condition and to extend the life of the bike, follow these steps:

  • Regular Use: We recommend riding the bike at least once every month. Some components of the bike need to be used regularly to maintain their best condition.
  • Indoor Storage: Store the bike indoors and away from direct sunlight to prevent unnecessary aging or discoloration.
  • Main Switch Usage: When not in use, make sure to turn the bike off with the main switch, ensuring it is pointing backwards. If not turned off properly, the bike remains in standby mode, leading to battery drain and potentially shortening its lifespan.
  • Battery SOC Management: Never store the bike with an empty battery. The optimal State Of Charge (SOC) for storage is 30%, indicated by 1- 2 green LEDs on the dashboard. If you plan to store the bike for an extended period, charge it to 30% SOC to maximize the battery’s lifespan.
  • Temperature Considerations: Avoid storing your bike in temperatures below 10° C. If it’s not possible to store the bike in warmer conditions, remove the battery and bring it indoors.
  • Weekly Battery Monitoring: It’s important to monitor and maintain the battery every week, aiming for a 30% SOC, especially if it drops below 20%. This practice helps in preserving the battery’s health.

Crash

In the case of a crash, please go through the bike for any visual or structural damage. If you find any damage affecting the handling of the vehicle, stop riding to prevent further damage to the vehicle, yourself or the environment around you.
For inspection, please go through the procedures under Chapter 3 ”Regular Inspection and Maintenance”. In case of a broken or damaged component, visit www.ridecake.com/spareparts to order spare components. If you can’t find what you are looking for or have any questions, please get in contact with CAKE directly.

Troubleshooting

If your bike isn’t working properly, please read the following use cases to find the solution. If you can’t find the problem you are experiencing or a solution that works for you, contact CAKE directly.

My bike won’t turn on

  • Start with checking that both the main switch and kill switch is turned on properly.
  • Remove the seat to check that the battery is properly connected to the bike.
  • Carefully try to give the bike some throttle to climate the possibility of
  • a malfunctioning dashboard.
  • Get in contact with CAKE directly for further instructions and
  • troubleshooting to solve the issue.

My bike doesn’t give me full power

  • Check the dashboard for temperature signals. The bike is designed to self-regulate and protect itself from damage due to extreme temperatures or voltage issues.
  • Ensure the bike is properly charged. Refer to the LEDs on the dashboard for the State Of Charge (SOC). As the battery nears depletion, its ability for high discharge (full power) diminishes.
  • If performance issues persist, consider whether any of the drivetrain components are overheated, under-voltage, or over-voltage, as these conditions can limit the bike’s performance.

Please be careful when checking if the controller or motor is overheated as you could get burned. This will be shown by the Dashboard Temp LED glowing in RED. If it does, please let the vehicle cool down sufficiently to avoid permanent damages to either the motor, controller or battery.

The dashboard is blinking in weird colors

Check the picture with different warning signals under “Dashboard”. If the dashboard blink in colors/pattern that is not covered by this picture, please take a 30 second long video of the dashboard and send it to service@ridecake.com

My charger doesn’t work

  • Adhere to the charging instructions detailed in section 2.4 “Charging.”
  • Inspect and, if necessary, replace the small fuse on the charger.
  • If the charger does not function as expected, cease repeated charging attempts with the non-functioning charger. Contact CAKE directly, providing a detailed description of the issue for further assistance.
  • These steps should help identify and resolve common issues related to power and charging. Regular maintenance and awareness of the bike’s operational status are key to ensuring a smooth riding experience.

NOTE!

If your bike does not charge as expected, it is crucial not to attempt resolving the issue on your own. Contact CAKE directly for guidance and assistance. Taking actions not in line with the instructions provided in Section 2.4 of this manual can be dangerous and may lead to unforeseen risks or damage. Always prioritize safety and adhere strictly to the outlined procedures for charging.

My motor is sounding strange or won’t spin

If the motor sounds strange when giving throttle and does not run properly. Please turn the bike off and do not give the bike any throttle as the motor can still be overheated by the battery current. This could potentially happen if the sensors in the motor get humid/water. The issue is temporary, please put the bike inside to let it dry for 24 hours. Get in touch with CAKE directly regardless if the issue disappears or not.

My bike won’t turn on after a long time of inactivity

Does the dashboard turn on when the main switch and kill switch is turned on and connected properly? While the battery is connected to the bike, turn on the main switch and measure the voltage with a multimeter in the small yellow connector on the battery. If the voltage is under 48V, get in contact with CAKE.

Oil has started leaking from the fork

This can happen if the bike is stored for too long without being ridden. When the suspension is static for too long, the gasket in-between the moving pipes can dry out. If this happens, wipe the oil off, test the suspension to see if it works normally and see if the leaking disappears. If it doesn’t, get in contact with CAKE directly.

Theres play between the front suspension and the frame

This is due to the that the headset is not tightened properly/has become loose. Put the bike on a stand. Start with unscrewing the 4 screws on the upper triple clamp so they become loose (don’t unscrew completely). Push the lower triple clamp upwards so the head tube gets full contact with the frame. Loosen the headset bolt just a bit before tightening it hard. Tighten the screws on the upper triple clamp and test the suspension to see if the play is still there. Repeat if necessary. Get in contact with CAKE if the issue doesn’t resolve after the actions above.
