2. General Information

2.1 Safety Advice

Riding

When riding a CAKE bike for the first time, there are a few things to consider. The bike has an electric motor with instant torque and a primary drive with no gears or clutch, 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 riding the Kalk&.

• Never ride the bike under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Always respect local laws and regulations when riding

2.2 Controls and Power Modes

Rider Controls and Components: Grips, Throttle, Kill switch, Front brake, Stem, Display, Handlebar control.

State Of Charge Indicator: The application includes a Battery SOC estimator, which uses an algorithm to estimate the SOC of the battery. The SOC is indicated on the top right of the display.

Kill switch: 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 is electric, it's hard 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.

Brakes: As the Kalk& bike is built for off-road use, it does not have ABS brakes to give the rider full control over the bike when riding in off-road conditions. Please be cautious not to lock the wheels when braking in traffic. The front brake is located on the right side on the handlebar, and the rear brake is located by the right foot peg and is operated by the right foot.

Display: The display on the stem is the bike's control panel. Here, you will be able to see the speedometer, odometer, trip meter, power mode, brake mode, service intervals, warning signals and limiters and error codes.

Operating the display: When the bike has been turned on, press the upper, white display button to activate the bike.

Changing Power Mode: When the bike has been activated, press the middle button on the display to change power mode. You will always change the power mode, starting from "Mode 1" to "Mode 2" to "Mode 3" to "Mode C" and back to "Mode 1" again, one press at a time. The bike will make a different sound depending on the selected power mode. Note: If you don't have power mode C in the display, but do have a connectivity module, you need to create an account in the app and configure the custom power mode.

Changing Brake Mode: When the bike has been activated, press the lower button on the display to change brake mode. You will always change the brake mode, starting from "Mode 1" to "Mode 2" to "Mode 3" to "Mode C" and back to "Mode 1" again, one press at a time. The bike will make a different sound depending on the selected brake mode. Note: If you don't have brake mode C in the display, but do have a connectivity module, you need to create an account in the app and configure the custom brake mode. WARNING: When riding in traffic and utilizing the brake mode, the braking light will not be activated and alarm other in traffic that you are slowing down. Use with caution and always use the real brakes as a mean to stop your bike when riding.

Change between Miles per hour and Kilometers per hour: When the bike has been activated. Press and hold the lower button on the display in order to change between mph and km/h.

Change between odometer and trip meter: When the bike has been activated, press and hold the upper white button on the display in order to change between odometer and trip meter.

See information about the software and bike information: When you are starting the bike and the display is loading, when you get to the screen "Press to start", press and hold the button on the right side of your display to access this information. This can be useful during service and maintenance.

Brake Modes

The bike has 4 different brake modes (1, 2, 3 & C). 3 pre-configured modes ranging from a freewheel experience that keeps you rolling after you release the throttle, to a harder motor brake that gently slows you down as you release the throttle. 1 custom brake mode that you can adjust according to your driving behavior.

Note: If you don't have brake mode C in the display, but do have a connectivity module, you need to create an account in the app and configure the custom brake mode.

Brake Mode 1: No motor braking. Gives the same sensation as riding a bike, perfect for mellow riding and the ultimate freedom experience.

Brake Mode 2: Moderate motor braking. As you release the throttle you feel the bike slowing down at a slow pace. This can boost your confidence when riding a bit more technical terrain as you get better control over the bike. The braking power is regenerated to the battery for extra range.

Brake Mode 3: Hard motor braking. When releasing the throttle, the bike will slow down significantly. This could be uncomfortable for novice riders as the braking is quite hard. This brake mode is best suited for technical tracks where full control of the bike is needed. All the braking power is regenerated back to charge the battery for extended range.

Brake Mode C: A configurable brake mode. Adjust according to your driving behavior. To configure brake mode C you need to create an account in the app and configure the custom brake mode. Note: If you don't have brake mode C in the display, but do have a connectivity module, you need to create an account in the app and configure the custom brake mode.

Power Mode

There are 4 different power modes to choose from when riding the bike (1, 2, 3 & C). 3 pre-configured power modes with different attributes in terms of top speed, acceleration, and torque to suit riders of all riding levels, from beginners to professionals. 1 custom power mode that you can adjust according to your driving behavior. Never ride the bike above your comfort level and always ride according to your personal riding skills. We always recommend a new CAKE rider to start with the first mode to get used to the bike and the differences between an electric motor and an internal combustion engine.

Note: If you don't have power mode C in the display, but do have a connectivity module, you need to create an account in the app and configure the custom power mode.

Power Mode 1: This mode is ALWAYS recommended when riding a CAKE bike for the first time. It has a limited top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) and soft acceleration. This Power mode still has a high torque for rideability off-road as well as something for new riders to progress with. This mode is perfect for tracks where control is more valued than power.

Power Mode 2: With a top speed of 70 km/h (43 mph) and a good acceleration, this mode is perfect for enduro riding out in the woods.

Power Mode 3: With no restrictions when it comes to the performance, this mode is perfect when you need all the power available. This mode is recommended for highly skilled riders only.

Power Mode C: A configurable power mode. Adjust according to your driving behavior. To configure power mode C you need to create an account in the app and configure the custom power mode. Note: If you don't have the Power mode C in the display you need to create an account in the app and configure the custom power mode.

Charging Screen

As a safety measure, you are not able to ride your bike while charging the bike. The screen will display the loading screen when charging the bike. Unplug the charger to use the display.

Limited Performance

The bike has a level of self-preservation, which means that during certain conditions, the performance will be limited or even stopped completely. During the following conditions, the performance will be limited.

Battery Overvoltage or Battery Undervoltage: If the voltage is out of the ordinary range of the battery pack, such as an overcharged battery pack or an empty battery pack, the performance will be limited as to not damage the battery or other components in the drivetrain. Note: This occurs naturally when you turn off the bike and it is not an issue.

Battery Overtemperature and Battery Undertemperature: If the battery pack is too warm or too cold the performance is limited as it could otherwise cause damage and decrease the life cycles of the battery pack. The limiter is proportional to the temperature and will stop the bike completely if it's too hot or cold. Note: In order to avoid potential limiters when out riding. It's recommended to keep your bike inside if the outside temperature isn't within the following range: +2° C to +35° C (36° F to 95° F).

Controller Overtemperature: If the controller is getting too hot, the performance will gradually be limited. Go easy on the throttle or take a short break if this occurs.

Motor Overtemperature: If the motor is getting too hot, the performance will gradually be limited. Go easy on the throttle or take a short break if this occurs.

Error Codes

If a critical electrical error occurs, the display will show a message with a code on the screen. In the unlikely event that this happens, please take a picture of the code with your phone or write the code down and contact CAKE at service@ridecake.com

3. Regular Inspection and Maintenance

3.1 Before Each Ride

To make sure that your bike is always in good condition and avoid injury or damage, please make sure to always take care of your CAKE Kalk& bike by the following steps:

• Check the angle of your mirrors.
• Try your turn signals, head light, rear light, braking light and horn.
• Check the wheels (see 3.3 Wheels and Tires).
• Check the condition and tension of the chain.
• Clean your bike (see Chapter 5.2 - Cleaning).
• Check the suspension.
• Check that the headset is properly tightened.
• Check that the brakes are functioning properly by doing a brake test.

3.3 Wheels and Tires

The wheels should be inflated to a pressure of: 200 kPa / 29 psi / 2 bar.

With factory new wheels, you have to check and tighten the spokes after riding. To make sure the wheels are in their best shape, you need to tighten the spokes after your first rides, up to a couple of hours. You will find some loose spokes for sure, this is because the spokes and rim will work a bit when they are new. Be sure that when you start to tighten your spokes the hub is completely cooled down, because the braking hubs get warm.

Tighten your spokes as follows: Use a spoke wrench and tighten the nipple which is found where the spoke and rim meets. Check all spokes with your spoke wrench and tighten loose spokes. Don't tighten loose spokes too firm otherwise you will pull the wheel out of its straight position. Spokes that are still tightened don't need to be tightened extra firm. Keep repeating to check the spokes after your second and third ride. You will find that the spokes keep nicely tightened because they are now "settled" in the hub and rim.

3.2 Service Table and Service Intervals

Now your CAKE wheels are ready to race. Keep checking your spokes regularly. By checking regularly, we don't mean that the spokes have to be tightened every time. You just need to make sure that there are no loose spokes in the wheel. If you tighten the spokes every time you check them, the result can be that after a while the spokes are all way too tight. Keep in mind: A spoke needs to have the possibility to "stretch" with big impacts. When the spokes are over tightened, the spoke cannot stretch and it can break.

• Check that the tires are inflated with the correct pressure.
• Check the tires tread pattern is at least 3 mm deep.
• Check for bent spokes.
• Check that all spokes have the correct tension.
• Check that the brake discs are straight.
• Check that the axle of the front wheel is tightened correctly.
• Check that the rear axle is tightened correctly.
• Check that the axle of the rear wheel is adjusted correctly and evenly on both sides, according to the swing arm markings.

3.4 Handlebar and Cockpit

Headset

Make sure that the headset bolt is tightened firmly and that there is no play between the head tube and triple clamps when suspending the forks.

Adjusting the Handlebar Angle

See the instruction video on ridecake.com/en/makka-manuals-and-videos/. Tool: Allen key 5 mm.

1. Loosen the 4 stem bolts.
2. Adjust the handlebar angle and center the handlebar. Make use of the handlebar guidelines.
3. Tighten the 4 stem bolts to 10 Nm.
4. Ensure to tighten the upper and lower bolts equally. Check that the gap (A) between the upper and lower stem is equal. See Fig 1.

3.5 Suspension

Read the Öhlins manual at www.ridecake.com/manuals to change the factory settings for your bodyweight and riding style. If the bike is not used for longer periods of time, the fork might start leaking oil. This is due to the rubber gaskets drying up. It's therefore recommended not to let your bike stand idle for too long periods at a time. Make sure that the linkage has no damage. Make sure that all bolts on the linkage is firmly tightened.

3.6 Drivetrain and Chain

Chain

Check that the chain is in good condition. It's advised to clean your chain and apply chain lubricant when needed in order to prolong the lifetime of your chain. Check that the chain has correct tension. The chain gets longer as the bike is being used and will need to be tensioned with time. It should have a total play of 20 mm. Check the video instructions on www.ridecake.com/manuals to ensure that you tension the chain correctly if you are unsure how to do it. If done incorrectly, it's easy to misalign the whole wheel, which is dangerous and can lead to a crash.

3.7 Brakes

Look at the front and rear calipers to see that they or the brake brackets are not damaged. Look at the front and rear brake pads to see that they are not worn out. Look in the window at the reservoir to see that there is enough brake fluid in the brake housings on the handlebar. Make a brake test to check that both the front and rear brake works properly.

4. Remove and Installation

4.1 Battery and Seat

In order to remove the battery, please follow the steps below. Make sure that the bike is standing securely before removing either the seat and/or the battery pack.

Removing the Seat

Use a 5 mm Hex key and unscrew the screws under the seat. Then pull the seat upwards and backward in order to remove the seat.

Removing the Battery Pack

Use a hex key in order to remove the 2 screws that's holding the battery pack down. When removed, put away the 2 screws nearby. There are two steel rods holding the battery in place; make sure to lift the battery straight up using both hands. Note that the battery pack is very heavy, and you might want the help of a friend to assist.

When mounting the battery in the bike, make sure that there's no dirt or objects on the battery rubber floor or where the connectors are. This can cause the battery to not connect properly. Look through the holes in the battery pack, making sure that you match up the holes and the metal rods before gently sliding it down. Use help of a friend if needed.

When you don't have the battery inside the bike, always be careful handling the battery. If dropped, inspect it visually and get in contact with CAKE if there's any damage to it.

Slide the seat on and make sure that the metal tongue gets full contact with the pin without any cables getting in the way. Before screwing on the 2 bolts in the rear seat, make sure that the seat has good contact with the carbon frame, both in the front and on the side.

5. Owning and Operation

5.1 Maintenance & Repairs

DANGER: Use only original parts. High voltage components should only be serviced by trained technicians. Do not probe or modify high voltage cables. Alterations and technical modifications are prohibited and void the warranty. Repairs should be done only by qualified technicians.

California Specific Warnings

WARNING: California Proposition 65 - Exposure to lithium-ion batteries can cause cancer and reproductive harm. California Perchlorate Advisory - Special handling may apply for service or disposal of lithium batteries. For more information go to: dtsc.ca.gov.

Maintaining the bike is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Clean the bike after use and conduct regular inspections. Charge to at least 30% SOC and turn off with the main switch for extended non-use.

5.2 Cleaning

Always be cautious when cleaning the bike. The bike's electrical components can be damaged if cleaned improperly, which can damage the bike, property, or people. Always make sure that the bike is standing firmly before washing and don't forget to turn the bike off. Never use a pressure washer or a water hose in order to clean the bike. It's recommended to use pressurized air, a bucket of water together with a cloth and brush. When cleaning the chain, use a chain cleaner and scrub the chain with a brush. Repeat the cleaning before drying the chain and apply chain lube.

5.3 Storing

To ensure that your CAKE Kalk is always in good condition and to extend the life of the bike, follow these steps:

• Regular Use: We recommend riding the bike at least once every month. Some components of the bike need to be used regularly to maintain their best condition.
• Indoor Storage: Store the bike indoors and away from direct sunlight to prevent unnecessary aging or discoloration.
• Main Switch Usage: When not in use, make sure to turn the bike off with the main switch, ensuring it is pointing backwards. If not turned off properly, the bike remains in standby mode, leading to battery drain and potentially shortening its lifespan.
• Battery SOC Management: Never store the bike with an empty battery. The optimal State Of Charge (SOC) for storage is 30%, indicated on the top right of the display. If you plan to store the bike for an extended period, charge it to 30% SOC to maximize the battery's lifespan.
• Temperature Considerations: Avoid storing your bike in temperatures below 10° C. If it's not possible to store the bike in warmer conditions, remove the battery and bring it indoors.
• Weekly Battery Monitoring: It's important to monitor and maintain the battery every week, aiming for a 30% SOC, especially if it drops below 20%. This practice helps in preserving the battery's health.

5.4 Locking the Bike

In order to keep your bike safe, it is recommended to use an external lock that is approved for motorcycles. When leaving your bike on the street, always turn the bike off and remove the key and the kill switch from the bike. Lock the steering lock by turning the handlebar all the way to the left and insert the key into the steering lock and turn the key. You will feel how the handlebar will be locked to that position, so you can't ride the bike. The steering lock is found under the triple clamps between the fork legs.

5.5 Crash

In the case of a crash, please go through the bike for any visual or structural damage. If you find any damage affecting the handling of the vehicle, stop riding to prevent further damage to the vehicle, yourself, or the environment.

For inspection, please go through the procedures under Chapter 3 "Regular inspection and Maintenance". In case of a broken or damaged component, visit www.ridecake.com/spareparts to order spare components. If you can't find what you are looking for or have any questions, please get in contact with CAKE directly.

5.6 Troubleshooting

If your bike isn't working properly, please read the following use cases to find the solution. If you can't find the problem you are experiencing or a solution that works for you, contact CAKE directly.

My bike won't turn on

• Start with checking that both the main switch and kill switch is turned on properly.
• Remove the seat to check that the battery is properly connected to the bike.
• Carefully try to give the bike some throttle to check the possibility of a malfunctioning dashboard.
• Get in contact with CAKE directly for further instructions and troubleshooting to solve the issue.

My bike doesn't give me full power

• Check the dashboard for temperature signals. The bike is designed to self-regulate and protect itself from damage due to extreme temperatures or voltage issues.
• Ensure the bike is properly charged. Refer to the LEDs on the dashboard for the State Of Charge (SOC). As the battery nears depletion, its ability for high discharge (full power) diminishes.
• If performance issues persist, consider whether any of the drivetrain components are overheated, under-voltage, or over-voltage, as these conditions can limit the bike's performance.

Please be careful when checking if the controller or motor is overheated, as you could get burned. This will be shown by the Dashboard Temp LED glowing in RED. If it does, please let the vehicle cool down sufficiently to avoid permanent damages to either the motor, controller, or battery.

The dashboard is blinking in weird colors

Check the picture with different warning signals under "Dashboard". If the dashboard blinks in colors/pattern that is not covered by this picture, please take a 30-second long video of the dashboard and send it to service@ridecake.com.

My charger doesn't work

• Adhere to the charging instructions detailed in section 2.4 "Charging."
• Inspect and, if necessary, replace the small fuse on the charger.
• If the charger does not function as expected, cease repeated charging attempts with the non-functioning charger. Contact CAKE directly, providing a detailed description of the issue for further assistance.
• These steps should help identify and resolve common issues related to power and charging. Regular maintenance and awareness of the bike's operational status are key to ensuring a smooth riding experience.

NOTE! If your bike does not charge as expected, it is crucial not to attempt resolving the issue on your own. Contact CAKE directly for guidance and assistance. Taking actions not in line with the instructions provided in Section 2.4 of this manual can be dangerous and may lead to unforeseen risks or damage. Always prioritize safety and adhere strictly to the outlined procedures for charging.

My motor is sounding strange or won't spin

If the motor sounds strange when giving throttle and does not run properly. Please turn the bike off and do not give the bike any throttle, as the motor can still be overheated by the battery current. This could potentially happen if the sensors in the motor get humid/water. The issue is temporary; please put the bike inside to let it dry for 24 hours. Get in touch with CAKE directly regardless if the issue disappears or not.

My bike won't turn on after a long time of inactivity

Does the dashboard turn on when the main switch and kill switch is turned on and connected properly? While the battery is connected to the bike, turn on the main switch and measure the voltage with a multimeter in the small yellow connector on the battery. If the voltage is under 48V, get in contact with CAKE.

Oil has started leaking from the fork

This can happen if the bike is stored for too long without being ridden. When the suspension is static for too long, the gasket in-between the moving pipes can dry out. If this happens, wipe the oil off, test the suspension to see if it works normally and see if the leaking disappears. If it doesn't, get in contact with CAKE directly.

There's play between the front suspension and the frame

This is due to the headset not being tightened properly/has become loose. Put the bike on a stand. Start with unscrewing the 4 screws on the upper triple clamp so they become loose (don't unscrew completely). Push the lower triple clamp upwards so the head tube gets full contact with the frame. Loosen the headset bolt just a bit before tightening it hard. Tighten the screws on the upper triple clamp and test the suspension to see if the play is still there. Repeat if necessary. Get in contact with CAKE if the issue doesn't resolve after the actions above.
