CAKE unveils the ‘:work’ series at Milan’s International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition (EICMA). The line of electric motorcycles addresses urban mobility needs.
Available now, CAKE’s :work bikes focus on inner-city mobility. The brand targets delivery drivers, on-call service professionals, and last-mile deliveries with three new models at various capability levels.
The Swedish brand developed the :work line to confront transportation challenges in increasingly congested areas and help decrease emissions. Bans on new internal combustion engines (planned worldwide) will force cities to rely increasingly on alternative transportation for commerce.
CAKE’s new electric motorcycles, geared toward urban utility, propose a solution to “last mile deliveries,” another way of referring to the last leg of supply chain operation (also known as delivering a product to the customer).

“Any industry that handles large volumes of short-haul transportation of both people and goods understands the daily struggle with traffic jams, parking fines, and the need to find both economical and sustainable fossil fuel-free vehicles,” Stefan Ytterborn, CAKE CEO said.
“The CAKE :work series offers the immediate potential of moving last-mile deliveries and mobile workforces away from traditional solutions for urban transportation … speeding up the process towards a zero-emission society.”
CAKE Electric :work Series: Updates, Models
The :work collection builds on CAKE’s three existing platforms: the Kalk (high-performance off-road), Osa (modular utility), and Makka (urban commuter). Optimizations include increased range so the bikes can run for a full workday, and onboard power to support a broader range of trades.
The brand says the power supply can run electric tools or help keep takeout food at the right temperature.
