Swedish electric motorcycle manufacturer CAKE has announced a new dirt bike, their fastest yet. The CAKE Bukk has modest horsepower, but it’s got absolute mittfuls of torque, which is what really counts. Max speed is more than 62 mph.

The numbers: The Bukk (apparently that name means “ram” in the language of the Island of Gotland, where CAKE tests its bikes) makes 16 kW, or 21.5 hp, and a very hairy-chested 320 lb-ft of torque. The 2.9-kWh 72-volt battery is supposed to last three hours on the trails, and recharges to 100 percent in 2.5 hours—but a charge to 80 percent only takes an hour and 40 minutes. You can also quick-swap the battery packs if you buy a spare, for instant power top-up. No tools are required, making this a cinch when you’re out riding far from your garage! Electric Yamaha Bike

The Bukk has an extruded/forged frame of 6061 aluminum, with a WP cone-valve air fork and Ohlins S46 shock. Front and rear suspension are both custom-tuned for this bike. The seat is a jacked-up 38 inches high (965 mm), with 13.78 inches (350 mm) of ground clearance. Note, however, that the front rim is only a 19-incher, mated to an 18-inch rear wheel. The aluminum rims wear beefy motocross tires, but we haven’t seen what make and model—no worries, you can always change them out.

There’s a four-piston front brake mated to 260 mm rotor, and a two-piston rear brake with 220 mm rotor. That should haul this machine down from speed very nicely, considering it’s only 187 lb (85 kg). There are also three separate choices for engine braking resistance as well.

Asking price is $14,970 US, which sounds like an awful lot of money—but still less than most of the Zero lineup. No doubt CAKE will sell all 50 of these machines easily, but those buyers who miss out can console themselves by buying a more affordable Zero FX, and put the rest of the money towards a clapped-out YZ125, for when they still want to experience the guilty pleasure of two-stroke smoke.
