Cake, a Swedish e-mobility specialist, has a range of electric motorcycles that cater to different riding styles. It offers the off-roader called Kalk, as well as utility-focused machines like the award-winning Ösa. While Cake has already established a presence in various parts of Europe and the US, its next target is the Chinese market. Despite the saturation of small electric motorcycles in China, Cake sees great potential and has partnered with Shanghai Forever, a prominent bicycle retailer in China with over 80 years of experience.

As part of the partnership, Cake plans to sell 130,000 electric motorcycles in China. If these bikes are well-received, even more will be imported into the Chinese market. Additionally, Cake has hinted at a new model that is being developed exclusively for China. While no details have been revealed yet, the bike is expected to launch in the second half of 2024. Based on the teaser image, it appears to be a compact scooter with a step-through frame.

The CEO and founder of Cake, Stefan Ytterborn, mentioned that the Chinese market offers significant potential. He stated that the partnership with Shanghai Forever allows Cake to roll out high-quality, long-lasting vehicles and contribute to the electric wave in China. Chen Shan, CEO of Shanghai Forever, expressed similar sentiments about tapping into the opportunities available in the Chinese market and their excitement to reveal what they have planned.

Cake’s electric motorcycle lineup is set to debut in China by November 2023. The company is also eyeing expansion in other parts of Europe and South America.
