2. General information
2.1 Safety Advice
Riding
When riding a CAKE bike for the first time, there are a few things to consi-
der. 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 posi-
tioned 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.
• Only for off-road/racing purposes only. Not for highway use.

Brakes
Please note that, unlike a regular petrol motorcycle, both the rear and front
brake is located on the handlebar and there are no footbrake. The rear bra-
ke is located on the left side of the handlebar and the front brake is located
on the right side of the handlebar.
Killswitch
The kill switch is located on the right side of the handlebar.
When the kill switch is connected with the magnet, the bike is turned on.
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.
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
