Zack of Revzilla reviews the 2021 Kalk&. Yeah Cake has an issue(s) which I’ve known, but others are now realizing. You know – those folks outside of Cake’s marketing department. His final rating puts it just above the Super 73 in their stable of daily rides placing it third from the bottom! And he mentions…
AMEN to Hanna Elliott of Bloomberg. Finally an assessment of the bike I ‘owned’ and am glad I’m a former owner. I absolutely laughed at the URL for her piece: “cake-kalk-electric-motorcycle-review-back-to-the-bike-lane-with-this-weakling” LOL!!!! As my friend Phil so aptly put it. “Mark the Cake you bought reminds me of any sail boat purchase. The two best…
March 18 2021 On Friday March 11 2021 I was informed by Cake that there are no batteries in the USA stating – “As of right now, our sales are exceeding our inventory of the bike.” So as of this date – March 18 2021 my bike is still inoperable, 39 days from when Cake…
I have always held that technology changes rapidly; people slowly. A friend sent me this video “The First Gas Station” and it summarizes for me how people must have felt when horses went to steam engines and steam to gasoline.

I wanted to link to their piece here to help support the concept of a standard charging infrastructure for two wheel EVs. Original Post…
I found out via ElectricMotorcyclenews that CAKE just announced their new CAKE AP which is known as their anti poaching version of the OR to be used in Africa to assist authorities in apprehending those who poach endangered animals. Makes sense since the Australian Army is now testing the Sur Ron line of bikes for…
In two other posts I have explained how I now charge at EVSE level 2 charging stations. Extending my Kalk Charging at Level 2 Charging Stations Due to COVID19 when I charge my bike I either stay very close by or just sit next to my bike. If the EVSE station is located near a…
When I first purchased my & I discovered Max Fredriksson’s YouTube videos where he rides and tortures an OR which illustrated the incredible build quality of the bike. I actually included one of his videos in my CAKE KALK& Purchase Experience post under “How Durable is the CAKE line of Bikes?” I am often asked…
I was made aware of a YouTube site Electric is Better which posted a video titled “How To Get More RANGE On Your Sur-ron/Segway.” I was intrigued for two reasons, first I own a Sur Ron and although I had not been looking for extending its range I have been investigating methods to extend my…
