Nice review Alex! Cake has some really cool design in the bikes they produce. For those of you that still like to get dirty, they make a very cool moto addition to the lineup. Price point, biggest issue. Electric future is looking pretty bright!
yeah yikes, i saw the price for the electric mtb/dirtbike and shits over 13k but then again there are regular bikes that get up to 20k in the setup, hell some of the mtb frames can get to 10k as well
@@sheddy22 problem is, you overpay for electric but you also can't use it. 32 miles is pathetic. I'd love to do deliveries on one but lmao that's one beach ride. Not a whole day of working. Useless for anything but 1h joyrides. They're toys at this point. Still. We've been stuck at this point for years. Maybe some day I'll see swapping station system in my country, but I'm not gonna be in delivery health/age by that time 🥲
Good design!!! I like the frame design of this e-Bike. I have ridden an e-Bike for a while. After 6 months the, I could feel a noticeable decline of battery power declined. It was one of the best quality batteries in the market: LG. Panasonic is good too. I have been riding a Honda Ruckus since July 2021. Riding it on snowy days was challenging a little bit. My personality is getting along better with my Ruckus than my ex-e-Bike. Cheers!
So how do you go about securing a bike like this? It’s something that your average bike thief would absolutely try pretty hard to get their hands on I’m imagining. Any suggestions for securing it?
For that money, I'd rather have a Monkey, or a Grom and a helmet and jacket, or 2 Navis with matching helmets. I just feel like ebikes are almost there but not quite.
32 miles? That's a go to grandma and back. I need all these companies to stop competing like dogs and start working together, cause we've been stuck in the same "1h ride 8h charge" situation for years
Great review as usual, but I have one issue. Constantly looking up and down while using a helmet cam was making me seasick. You might try a chest mount cam in the future. Believe it or not, a chest cam actually gives a very realistic view.
It has some appeal. But like the other Cake bike, it would not suit my environment. Lowland/city dwellers with flat terrain and low MPH zones I can see it being ok in. 1st question posed on camera(only one shown)was, where do you rent them? Thus heavily implying it would be ideal for a rental shop for tourists, not so much for the everyday run about.
Is anyone else getting violently annoyed at the biker ahead who has failed to cancel his left turn indicator? Who is Alex riding behind, an 87 year old from Florida?
Sweet looking bike! But like all electric bikes,only goes 30 miles,I live outside of town,not far enough.stick with my scooter.and the section in back doesnt look big enough for a milk crate to hold items from a store
The niu’s seems like so much of a better deal for just over a thousand more you get double the power with 6.5 kilowatts motor and 3.7 kWh battery which full body panels and nice creature comfort’s like curse control, auto canceling blinkers and theft protection not to mention it can actually keep up with US street traffic speeds it’s actually competitive with 125cc scooters
Well its chinese made of course its better priced it also targets different ppl. Its still good bike tho aside from its fatal flaws it has (unless they fixed it) when it just turns itself off when driving.
Given how much space there is down low I would hope they add an upgrade for a larger cap battery. I like this but 30 miles is just not enough for my everyday unless I JUST drive it to and from my destination. Not adding an upgrade for a larger battery and/or a better motor is a huge mistake IMO. I like everything about it but I don't see my friend and I giving up our Peugot's for these without an option to give it a little more omph now or in the future. Hell I'd buy it stock IF they were going to offer a battery and/or motor upgrade kit. I just want the battery but I know my riding partner and he'll want a bigger engine. I like cruising but he loves the option of "going hard". 😂 Not that you're really going to be doing that in these but he likes to have the best performance version of anything he buys.
Does it come with a lifetime supply of replacement socks from those floorboards that look way too wide to be comfortable. How do you get on it? The Cake website is horrible too The first thing I noticed is there's not a single photo from the front or back showing how wide the bike is and your videos just barely showed the female looking like she didn't know how to put both feet down at the stop sign. It seems like "the emperor's new clothes" to me.
IF I'm ubderstanding what you're saying correctly a dead zone might be a good thing for the inexperienced riders who are going to be buying these things. We've all seen those vids 😂. That being said a proper throttle mode should be included.
Yeah I think the target market would want a throttle that always works the same way vs one that adjusts with how fast you're going but it shouldn't be difficult to make that an adjustable setting in the app or something
Yeahhhh, there really is nothing about those bikes that I like,,,,. Must be a young person thing. They are actually looking really cheap and hideous. Their price doesn’t reflect the apparent quality.
@@SubstanceD91 - because they are so unique, and from Sweden, they are treated as a premium product. You probably pay twice what you would from China, I’m sure. I still bet there’s just over 100% mark up on them though,,,,,,,,.
I’ll stick with my gas scooter. Top speed of 40mph and costs only $4 to fill up with a range of 100 miles. When I want to go faster I’ve got my 125 motorcycle that can go about 60. Eventually I’ll get another motorcycle that can do freeway speeds no problem

Prices in Sweden on the makka are now down to $3800.
The Cake Ösa + is now down to $5900.

It's Awesome,
Please bring it with the same design at a reasonable price to India aswell.
Anyone know how to get another battery charger now that the company seems to be dropping off?
Great review as usual, but I have one issue. Constantly looking up and down while using a helmet cam was making me seasick. You might try a chest mount cam in the future. Believe it or not, a chest cam actually gives a very realistic view.
NO WAY am I choosing that thing over a Honda Monkey!
For that price you can buy TWO Honda Navis
@@chrish6373 Or a Grom, or Super Cub. Both would still be a bit cheaper.
I've heard people are going ape over the monkey LOL
Gas is 7$ in California. Only problem with this bike is range
@@bushidobrown2328 There is a bigger battery that doubles the range, no idea what it would cost in USD tho.

If you live in a dense flat city with well-maintained roads, it makes sense. Granted that's a relatively small market
You mean Portal colors? 😂
Has it got walk assist mode . ?????
Is anyone else getting violently annoyed at the biker ahead who has failed to cancel his left turn indicator? Who is Alex riding behind, an 87 year old from Florida?
He really had a left turn coming up. The bike is just that slow.
No, I try not to get worked up over such trivial matters. It's just a turn signal...it's going to be fine
@@aaronbehindbars I refuse to believe that you can refrain from murdering the offender over this outrage

The only thing that would make it better is if it had a gas motor and went as fast as a Honda ruckus
A $1999 Honda Navi would destroy this thing. Sorry, electric motorcycles just aren’t worth it yet.
@@dant.6364 Some of the high end ones are cool, but still crazy expensive compared to their gas counterparts
@@dant.6364 Navi has no storage or rack
@@fbyi2940 Navi has a plainly visible storage box right behind the front wheel.
How does it really feel goi g uphill? I have a Super73 S2 that I love but it’s pathetic on steeper inclines and I moved to a house on a hill lol
Are they DMV approved ? Can they be registered to operate on public roads?
Yes!

Never heard of this in Sweden.
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE
Rocket had a "fast" bike that included pedals. It looked strange pedaling at 70k. It must have had genny.
Video I wonder if you have to have insurance on it and have a yearly inspection like a regular motorcycle.
No under 30 miles a hour.

30 mile range in what mode?
The talaria would smoke this thing in every realm :)
It's designed to be road legal and cheaper than talaria and rons. Isn't it cheaper in the US?
@@SindreS no. It’s almost double the price and 1/2 as fast 🤷♂️
What about for repairs
Does it come with a lifetime supply of replacement socks from those floorboards that look way too wide to be comfortable. How do you get on it?

A little like my Coleman.. if only it could be ridden on road like the cake can.
Yeee
Is it loud? Have never seen one in Sweden.
Såg min första i Götet idag!
Next year the digital battery will be out. More power and faster charging.
You can change out the battery on this thing in under a minute so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Did he say 3.6 jigawatta?????
dope
Do you need a license to drive it ?

can anyone just take out the battery?
Why would anyone pay for that?
Show baggage attachments on utility bikes!!!!!!!
Come on America get a bit of exercise with bike pedals. Otherwise, you'll become a Pound Cake. Haha
Yeahhhh, there really is nothing about those bikes that I like,,,,. Must be a young person thing. They are actually looking really cheap and hideous. Their price doesn’t reflect the apparent quality.
I think a lot of the price comes from it being made in Sweden. China could probably make an identical bike for less than half the price.

Company bankrupted sadly nomere vehicules.
Once again we have a totally useless overpriced electric vehicle
It is not useless
once again totally useless comment.
1st....
I’ll stick with my gas scooter. Top speed of 40mph and costs only $4 to fill up with a range of 100 miles. When I want to go faster I’ve got my 125 motorcycle that can go about 60. Eventually I’ll get another motorcycle that can do freeway speeds no problem
Now for offgrid or afar, i think these will be great with renewable energy that you can have it home
