Brake mode, knob to the left.
On the know to the right you can put the bike into 3 different braking
modes. This ranges from a free wheel experience, much of what you feel on
an MTB, which is suited for mellow riding on flats, to a hard engine brake,
which reminds the rider of the engine break on a 4-stroke motorcycle,
which is suited for technical race tracks or in the woods. All the energy from
the braking goes back into the battery for extended range.
Brake mode 1
No motor brakes. Gives the same sensation as riding a bike, perfect for mel-
low riding and the ultimate freedom experience.

Drive mode
Brake mode 2
Moderate engine brake. As you release the throttle you feel the bike slowing
down at a slow pace. This can boost your confidence when riding a bit
more technical terrain as you get better control over the bike. The braking
power is regenerated to the battery for extra range.
Brake mode 3
Hard engine break. When releasing the throttle, the bike will slow down
significantly. This could be uncomfortable for novice riders as the braking
is quite hard. This brake mode is best suited for technical tracks where full
control for the bike is needed. All the braking power is regenerated to back
to charge the battery for extended range.
Power mode, to the right
There are 3 different power modes to choose from when riding the bikes.
Never ride the bike above your comfort level and always ride according to
your personal riding skills. We always recommend a new CAKE-rider to start
on the first mode to get used to the bike and the differences between an
electric motor and an Internal combustion engine. The 3 different ride
modes have different attributes in terms of top speed, acceleration and
torque to suit riders of all riding levels, from beginners to professionals.
Power mode 1 - Explore
This mode is ALWAYS recommended when riding a CAKE bike for the first
time. It has a limited top speed of 45kmh (28mph) and soft acceleration.
This mode still has a high torque for ridability offroad as well as something
for new riders to progress with. This Mode is perfect for tracks where
control is more valued than power.
Power mode 2 - Excite
With a top speed of 70kmh and a good acceleration, this mode is perfect
for enduro riding out in the woods.
