About Kalk / Kalk&
The focus on developing the Kalk models has been off-road performance and innovation. Please note that Kalk& is certified for street use and has fantastic off-road performance as well!
"Every single component had to be developed from an empty sheet, to support the intended level of quality and durability: The sizing, the geometry and engineering of axles, hubs, rims, the cockpit and suspension, as well as building and customizing the different parts of the drivetrain, together with developing a whole new chassis; having led to numerous patent pendings, constitutes the introduction of a new category, the Light Electric Off Road Motorbikes (L.E.Os)."
The suspension is specifically developed, by Öhlins supporting the category of high-performance at minimum weight. Everything from the rims, hubs, stems to the custom Öhlins suspension is engineered and dimensioned, specific for the Kalk and the new category; lightweight electric motorbikes.
The light and snappy ride, with its focus on off and on trail riding, in the outback, means that its main character is about torque and acceleration, while providing a quiet gliding and surfy experience. Thanks to its digital pre setting, serving for 3 different riding modes, it will let anyone fly at their own level.
Front Suspension

”the reason the Kalk works so well is the use of a frame, a motor, suspension, wheels, tires, and cockpit all designed specifically for this weight class and riding style. Nothing is over or under-built, and that means lightweight, high performance"

”Super light, super torque, insane. Must be worlds fastest bike on narrow trails."
