1. Introduction and Getting started

1.1 Introduction

Please read the manual to its entirety to ensure that you understand 
the functions and operation of this vehicle before you drive.

To get the most out of your Kalk, electric motorcycle, and to ensure safe 
operation, it’s critical that you fully understand the features of this bike. This 
manual includes important information that every rider needs to fully un-
derstand. Please study this manual cautiously in its entirety before your first 
ride on your new CAKE, Kalk. Do not ride the motorcycle until you’ve attained 
enough understanding of its controls and features.

1.2 Unpacking

You will receive your CAKE Kalk in a cardboard box. 
 
To ensure that the unpacking process is smooth and that you don’t damage the 
Kalk or yourself, make sure to go to www.ridecake.com/manuals and see  
the unboxing manual and how to unpack and assemble the bike. 

 

The manual features easy step-by-step guidance with pictures and what 
tools are needed.

1.3 Getting started

Before you are ready to take your first ride on the Kalk. Please follow the 
steps below to make sure to not make any damage to the vehicle, property 
or injure yourself or others. During transportation, the bike might have become  
damaged. We can’t guarantee the bikes drivability as it’s been strapped 
down for up to several weeks before you  receive it. During this time, some 
components might have become loose or even damaged.
