Remember Cake’s ‘Cleanest Dirt Bike Ever’ project? The Swedish electric motorbike maker, together with Vattenfall, first announced their intention to build as fossil-free a motorcycle as they possibly could by 2025. At the time, the pair of companies acknowledged the need to push things further in terms of decarbonization and stated that merely seeking to eliminate emissions during operation of a bike wouldn’t be going far enough to make the kind of change that the world needs.
A year later, in August 2022, Cake and Vattenfall officially bestowed the ‘Cleanest Dirt Bike Ever’ name on this project. They then decided to analyze exactly what goes into making a current Cake Kalk OR in terms of emissions, looking at manufacturing processes, product design, and transportation to get the finished bikes to their new owners.
