CAKE could also be finest identified for its fashionable and highly-designed electric bikes. But the corporate’s newest teaser at the moment appears to suggest {that a} lighter electric two-wheeler is within the playing cards for the model’s subsequent mannequin.
It’s laborious to say precisely what CAKE is engaged on, because the picture is zoomed in to present simply two body members welded at a pointy angle.
But these two body members seem to use tubes which are narrower than these seen on CAKE’s bigger electric motorbikes and e-mopeds.
They additionally be a part of at an angle that fairly intently matches with the highest tube and down tube of a bicycle body.
The teaser picture additionally contains the next caption:
“The product line expanding, pre-launch starts soon. The new bikes are developed for a new user matrix, supporting the CAKE mission: To speed up the journey towards a zero emission society, combining excitement with responsibility.”
A transfer even additional into mild electric automobiles like electric bicycles would make sense for CAKE.
After getting its begin with electric grime bikes, CAKE rolled out road authorized variations adopted by decrease pace electric motorbikes after which even smaller and extra muted electric mopeds.
So persevering with the development of releasing even smaller and lighter two-wheeled EVs may ultimately deliver the model to a real electric bicycle.
As a European producer although, CAKE could be restricted to European e-bike legal guidelines when promoting by itself continent. That means low-power 250W motors and a paltry pace of 15.5 mph (25 km/h).
In the US, CAKE’s e-bikes may doubtlessly function 3 times that energy stage and practically twice the pace, up to 28 mph (45 km/h).
Though this assumes CAKE is even constructing an electric bicycle in any respect. The body members actually look like they match the entrance triangle of a diamond body on a motorcycle, however CAKE may simply be trolling all of us by purposefully photographing a small part of a special automobile’s body that appears vaguely bike-ish.
If you ask me although, I wager {dollars} to donuts that CAKE has an e-bike coming.
Just for enjoyable, right here’s the CAKE teaser picture lined up decently nicely with the body of the new VanMoof A5 e-bike simply introduced this week. See? It may work!
