the functions and operation of this vehicle before you drive.
To get the most out of you 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
understand. Please study this manual cautiously in it’s entirety before your

attained enough understanding of its controls and features.
1.2 Unpacking
Yow will receive your CAKE Kalk in a wooden box.
Once you have the box in front of you, you will be able to unpack it and
make the final assembly before your first ride.
You will need:
• Screw driver (Electric screw gun is preferred)
• 5mm Hex key
To disassemble the box and unpack the bike, please follow the
following steps:
1. Remove the lid. Remove the lid with the help of a screw driver or electric
screw gun by removing the screws securing the lid. When the last screw
is removed, remove the lid.
2. Remove one of the long side walls by the help of your choice. Make sure
that the wall don’t fall on the bike as you remove the last screws.
Remove when done.
3. Take out the wooden box which is equipped with your charger and
additional information. SAVE FOR LATER The bike is secured by the help of
straps to ensure a safe delivery. The suspension is therefore pressed
down, this will make the bike jump up like a spring when removed.
Please be careful not to injure yourself or to damage the bike.
4. Start with assembling the handlebar so you have something to grab
before removing the straps. If you have enough room to get inside the
box and start with the assembly of the handlebar and stem. Please do
so, otherwise remove more walls (as step 2) until you feel confident.
Use the 5mm Hex key to attach the handlebar on the Stem and
dashboard. If you are unsure about this step. Please see the
Chapter “Remove and Installation” under “Handlebar and cockpit”.
Be carful on this step to avoid unnecessary scratches on the handlebar
or bodywork.
5. Now you are ready to remove the straps to bring the motorcycle outside.
Make sure that release one strap at a time and that you are able to hold
the bike as you are removing the strap so it doesn’t fall down. If you are
unable to do this by yourself, take help of a friend.

lean it towards a wall securely or place it on a motorcycle stand.
