CAKE was founded in 2016 by the acknowledged entrepreneur in strategy, design and branding, Stefan Ytterborn.
After a global success with POC and more than 3 decades as an influential force in design, product development and communication, Stefan Ytterborn starts his new company - CAKE.
From the very start the goal was to create electric motorcycles that would combine excitement with responsibility, while inspiring the shift to a zero-emission society. The mantra instilled in the design team was "light, quiet and clean" and the result would two years later manifest itself in the first model, the Kalk, that first saw the light of day in January 2018.
Since day one, the ambition to inspire towards a zero-emission society has been at the very heart of our operations. With our models gaining interest from more and more professional riders and companies alike, and with increased demand among both consumers and companies for efficient, emission-free vehicles that don’t contribute to the rising issue of congestion, we’ve developed a new range of vehicles that builds on our existing platforms, but cater specifically for professional use.
The aptly named :work series launched in November 2021, featuring revamped editions of both the Kalk, Ösa and Makka, that had been tuned and optimized for everything from modern last-mile delivery couriers and service professionals to craftsmen, park rangers and carpenters. These are truly durable service tools with prolonged product life cycles, built for high efficiency and low TCO.

What does the future hold for us? Plenty, we’re happy to admit. In 2022 we’ll among other things continue our groundbreaking sustainability project with Vattenfall, where we investigate the feasibility of producing a bike with zero emissions. We’ll continue to innovate the field of midsize motorcycles, championing the segment and spreading the gospel of clean, quiet riding. All this in line with our mission credo - to develop high-quality, sustainable electric motorcycles that will inspire towards a zero-emission society.
