Most impressive of all is the 200-plus mile range. This performance comes from the bike’s ability to be connected to up to three 750Wh batteries, one of which slots down behind the saddle to give up to 74.5 miles of range, with two additional battery packs fitted, pannier-style, on either side of the rear cargo bed. Cake has ensured these packs can also be used as mobile power banks, capable of cooling the cargo or powering tools and other kit.
Target audiences are small city businesses, delivery firms, and families, as well as those looking for a durable machine that doesn’t need constant charging.
