It's important to keep the bike in good condition in order to get the full
performance of the bike and increase it's lifetime. When you are done
riding, always clean the bike and follow the "regular inspection" check list.
Charge the bike to a minimum of 30% State Of Charge. Turn the bike off
with the main switch if it will not be used for more than a week.

Always be cautious when cleaning the bike. The bikes electrical components
can be damaged if cleaned improperly which can damage the bike,
property or persons.
• Always make sure that the bike is standing firmly before washing and

• Never use a pressure washer or a water hose in order to clean the bike.
It's recommended to use pressurised air, a bucket of water together with
a cloth and brush.
• When cleaning the chain, use chain cleaner and scrub the chain with a
brush. Repeat the cleaning before drying the chain and apply chain lube.

5.3 Storing

Follow these following steps to ensure that your CAKE Kalk is always in a
good condition and to extend the life of the bike. We recommend you to
ride the bike at least once every month as some the bikes components
needs to be used in order for them to be in the best condition.
Store the bike indoors away from sunshine to avoid unnecessary ageing or
discolouration.Make sure to turn the bike off with the main switch (pointing
down) as it's otherwise in standby and will drain the battery to an
unhealthy level which will shorten the lifespan of the battery. Never store
a bike with an empty battery. The optimal SOC is 30% (1-2 green LEDS on
the dashboard). If the bike will be stored for a longer period of time, charge
the bike to 30% SOC (see under dashboard) to maximise the lifespan of the
battery. Never store your bike in below 10° C, if you are unable to store the
bike in temperature above that, remove the battery and bring it inside.
If the bike is unused for too long. The oil inside of the forks can start to leak.
