Sinje Gottwald has been exploring the world on two wheels for a long time. Back in 2017, she successfully completed her plan to ride around the world—certainly no small task. In February, 2023, she’s just completed the first electric motorcycle crossing of Africa on an electric motorcycle, without assistance.
What was her steed of choice? A CAKE Kalk AP, which she credits with requiring very little maintenance and also going far above and beyond the things it was meant to do. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, Gottwald is currently a CAKE B2B account manager, which helps explain the reasoning behind using this bike. Like many who eat, sleep, and breathe motorcycles, she’d been riding for a long time—and then scored herself a job in the industry.
“At a company dinner during fall 2021, I sat next to Sinje, when she told me she had the dream of riding electric, by herself from Spain to South Africa. Besides being amazed by her courage and spirit I was thrilled about the ability for us to support her, while truly getting a chance for extreme field testing,” CAKE CEO and founder Stefan Ytterborn said in a statement.
