Cake is an electric motorcycle, moped and e-bicycle manufacturer based in Stockholm, Sweden. The company was founded by entrepreneur and Ikea veteran Stefan Ytterborn in 2016. Their first motorcycle, the Kalk, launched in 2018 and took home a Red Dot Design award.
Unlike Zero Motorcycles, which has skewed toward building more traditional-style motorcycles, Cake sells offbeat, design-focused bikes that are practical, modular and lightweight. The bikes straddle the line between small motorcycle and electric scooter. They target a wide range of riders, from experienced collectors to first-timers, and use cases, both urban and adventurous.
The main drawback with Cake is the price. You do pay a premium for the utility and Swedish design sensibility. Typically, Cake’s offering will cost more than other options in the segment offering similar utility.
