Built by a Swedish team of expert bike enthusiasts that call themselves
"Cake," the Work series is a reimagining of utility, function, and green speed.
While a lot of e-bikes are used for recreation or short-distance personal transport,
Work aims to put innovative e-bikes in the hands of messengers,
first-aid responders, and other service professionals.
They do this with their range of e-bikes that include bigger batteries,
powerful drivetrains, and customizable configurations for any industry.
The Work Series is an extension of three models already offered by Cake, the Makka,
the Ösa, and the Kalk, with variations of each model in the Flex, Range, and Plus fit outs.
Let's take a look at each of the models a little closer.
A lightweight aluminum frame houses the massive 62Ah
3kWh lithium battery. It also extends out to provide rack space to the front and rear.
Each of the custom 14-inch motorcycle wheels is fitted with traditional motorcycle braking
and an EBS to convert lost braking power into charge for the battery.
Front and rear spring shocks give this beefed-up moped the smooth drive it deserves.
The Makka comes in two options, the Range, which boasts top speeds of up
to 15.5 miles per hour over a range of 68 miles, and the powerful Flex,
which tips the odometer up to 28 miles per hour over a maximum distance of 62 miles.
It's able to do this courtesy of a motor upgrade. Instead of the 2kW hub motor found in the Range,
the Flex doubles the output to 4kW while pushing 60nM of torque.
Not just a zippy e-bike, the Makka Flex can be personalized with customized
storage racks, towing trailers, and carriers for any occasion.
Fast and efficient, the Makke Flex Is purpose-built for short-haul
deliveries and busy commutes for the working professional.
The next option in Cake's Work Series is the Ösa,
the marriage between a powerful workbench and a high-performance, two-wheel towing truck.
Just like the Makka, the Ösa comes in Range and Flex variations
but is also available in the Plus model for those who feel the need for speed.
The Ösa's claim to fame is the high-capacity 75 Ah hot-swappable lithium battery,
capable of powering not only the bike while in motion but also a range of power tools at
a worksite. Everything from electric drills to welding machines and everything in between.
The Ösa Flex is comparable to a 50cc motorbike, enjoying a top speed of 28 miles per hour
over an 87-mile range. This is thanks to its 7-kW chain-driven direct drivetrain.
One step up again, the Ösa Plus is your green equivalent to a 125cc motorbike.
Capable of putting out a whopping 15 horsepower and 151Nm of torque, the premium version of the
Ösa can reach speeds of 56 miles an hour over the same 87-mile range.
Cake's most premium offering comes courtesy of the Kalk,
the sleek off-road electric motorcycle with more power than it knows what to do with.
It was built for those remote, out-of-the-way missions – everything
from surveillance and patrols to off-road service calls.
At the heart of the Kalk is a premium 50Ah lithium battery powering a 10kW Internal magnet motor
and direct chain-driven drivetrain. It's capable of speeds topping 56 miles an hour
over a 53-mile range.
When it's time to recharge the batteries, three hours from a
standard 220V power point is all it takes to charge from empty all the way up to 100%
While the Kalk has done away with the clutches and gears
you'd typically find on a high-powered dirt bike,
it hasn't lost any of the power and agility you'd come to expect from an electric alternative.
All-terrain capability comes courtesy of 18-inch Continental off-road tires
and independent front and rear suspension with rebound adjustment.
The Kalk's been fitted with formula motorcycle disc brakes that can be
set to one of three different braking modes when it comes to stopping power.
Freewheel, two-stroke, or four-stroke braking with kinetic energy regeneration.
Mechanical engineer Alex Desmond has always been interested in cycling.
Still, his foray into handi-accessible adaptive bikes was actually prompted by a personal tragedy.
A close friend of Alex, the person who taught him how to ride a motorbike as a teenager,
was permanently disabled after suffering a stroke. Alex would spend several years developing a rugged
adaptive mountain bike prototype that would give freedom to cyclists who use wheelchairs.
Enter the Phase AD3 from Orange.
Conquering rugged terrain has never been easier than with the Krusader!
This all-wheel-drive electric bike from Rambo Bikes in Minnesota
packs two 500-Watt motors for a peak of 1,500 Watts.
Thanks to its single-speed drive, it rides pretty silently too,
and it has plenty of power with its 48-Volt battery for a range of 38 miles.
Civilized Cycles is a global team comprised of various talents in the industry.
They say their mission is to make the most “civilized” bikes globally for the world.
Through a lengthy design process that took many people worldwide to help build,
Model 1 was created.
It’s not hard to guess why Barcelona-based e-bike manufacturers named their latest creation
the “Oohbike.” The uniquely creative design looks like a cross between a traditional road bike
and a futuristic Tron cycle, turning heads with its next-century aesthetic.
The hubless front wheel is sleek and confusing at first glance,
especially as the inner ring remains stationary while riding.
But this hollow space was designed with storage in mind,
allowing riders to stash away items for safekeeping.
