    Makka means "Little bug" in gutnish which is spoken on our Biggest Island Gotland where Cake also happens to have a test/race track on.

      And in "standard Swedish", "macka" which sounds the same, means sandwich..

    A funny thing to mention as a swedish person is that the word “makka” spells like the Swedish word “macka” that also means cake. Funny fact as you mention that in the beginning

      Macka is not cake, it’s sandwich?

    It seems "makka" is "mate". Thats what it should be too!

    650 Watts is a mere 0.65 Kw. Just looks low ,so as you said they say 650 w as it sounds better

    An electric commuter bike for the near future. Just another reason why it will be hard to prise me out of Thailand.

    Hi,
    Did you buy one in the end?
    Wondering if you can do an update video if you did.
    I am considering, thanks for great video!

      I did not buy one. I was put off by the insurance costs and high purchase price. I was also waiting for the release of the pedal assist version that doesn’t require DVLA registration or insurance cover. The pedal assist also triples the range, I believe. Probably won’t buy that either, as it is as expensive as the non-pedal version.
      Thanks for your comment.

      @@DickWhistles yes comprehensive insurance is looking at roughly 500 a year when I looked. I did not hear about the pedal version, but if its classed as an ebike it will be likely limited to 15.5mph as per ebike regulation (look at Vanmoof s3/x3 if you want a pedal assisted which can be derestricted by a 3rd party app for like £5, then can press boost without pedal and go much faster, its lots of fun and then as its a bike, can go where ever you want, ie parks and off road etc).
      I am temped for the Makka though, seems to work for what I want.
      thanks again!

    This one looks more promising, and at least it doesn't make that awful chain noise.

    Not much bang for the buck! Same price scooters are pushing 10,000watts, and and 60+ ah
