The Swedish brand CAKE releases its cheapest electric bike yet?for kids. Plus news of a CB750 owned by Steve McQueen up for sale, a custom CCM from Goblin Works Garage host Anthony Partridge, and an incredible Weslake-powered classic race bike from the Japanese shop Berrybads MC.
The CAKE Go is launched ?Start them young,? the saying goes, and CAKE has obviously taken the advice to heart. It?s just released three bikes as part of a ?Kids Evolution Program,? ranging from a balance bike to a $3,500 off-road electric motorcycle.
The range is cleverly called Ready, Steady, Go, and the latter bike is the one we?re interested in here. It?s designed for riders aged six and over, and has a top speed of 40 km/h (25 mph).
CAKE knows how to do things properly, so the Go has a quality tubular Chromoly steel frame and good-looking plastics.
It weighs just 32 kilos (70 pounds) including the battery, and the power output can be adjusted from 600W to 1.5kW according to rider ability. Charging takes four hours from a standard household socket, which will give an hour or more of riding time.
Conventional forks with 95mm of travel at the front are matched to a pre-load adjustable gas shock. The wheels are aluminum F14/R12 units, and shod with decent Michelin Starcross knobbies.
The CAKE Go can be delivered worldwide, and we suspect it?s going to be another hit for the revolutionary Swedish brand.
