The Cake Äik comes in two street-legal variants: In the US, it ships with a throttle and mid-drive 500W motor (with a 1000W peak) with a 20mph (32km/h) top speed, while in Europe it’s pedal-assist only and you’re stuck with a 250W motor (500W peak) capable of just 16mph (25km/h) max.Like the Cake Ösa electric moped I reviewed last summer, Åik is positioned less for commuters, and more as a utility bike for people that rely upon two-wheeled transport for their livelihoods or rugged outdoor fun.The 66lbs (30kg) Åik, which translates to “big and heavy load,” is capable of carrying about 176lbs (80kg) in cargo — 132lbs (60kg) on the back and 44lbs (20kg) up front.Or dedicate one of those extra batteries to use as a power bank for a portable laptop, drone, or hell... even a full-on fridge.It’s assisted by an Enviolo Extreme CVP hub gearbox for stepless automatic shifting even when stopped, with four-piston hydraulic disc brakes on the front and back wheels ensuring it actually does."
