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 brake is located on the left side of the handlebar and the front brake is located on the right side of the handlebar.

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.  

 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. 

 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.

The dashboard on the stem is the bikes control panel. Here you can see the bikes SOC (state of charge), Ride mode, Brake mode and over temperature.

On the know to the right you can put the bike into 3 different braking modes. This ranges from a free wheel experience, much of what you feel on an MTB, which is suited for mellow riding on flats, to a hard engine brake, which reminds the rider of the engine break on a 4-stroke motorcycle, which is suited for technical race tracks or in the woods. All the energy from the braking goes back into the battery for extended range.

No motor brakes. Gives the same sensation as riding a bike, perfect for mellow riding and the ultimate freedom experience.

Moderate engine brake. 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.

Hard engine break. 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 for the bike is needed. All the braking power is regenerated to back to charge the battery for extended range.

There are 3 different power modes to choose from when riding the bikes. 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 on the first mode to get used to the bike and the differences between an electric motor and an Internal combustion engine. The 3 different ride modes have different attributes in terms of top speed, acceleration and torque to suit riders of all riding levels, from beginners to professionals.

 recommended when riding a CAKE bike for the first time. It has a limited top speed of 45kmh (28mph) and soft acceleration. This mode still has a high torque for ridability offroad as well as something for new riders to progress with. This Mode is perfect for tracks where control is more valued than power.

With a top speed of 70kmh and a good acceleration, this mode is perfect for enduro riding out in the woods.

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

When charging the bike, do the following steps. 

 read the charging manual before charging.

When the charger is connected, it will show a red light. When the charging is done, it will light in green. When the charging is finished, don’t forget to put the rubber cap on the connector, not to break it during riding.
