Cake Jante: New IPM Motor for Electric Motorcycles

The Swedish manufacturer of electric motorcycles, CAKE, has announced the introduction of a new high-performance IPM electric motor. The unit, named Jante, has been developed from scratch and utilizes the latest IPM motor technology (Internal Permanent Magnet). It is supposed to offer high efficiency, power, and reliability. With a lightweight yet robust design that includes a housing made of aircraft aluminum and a double-supported shaft, the motor is designed for optimal performance and a long lifecycle in lightweight electric vehicles. With low and high-voltage drives, speeds of over 100 km/h and a torque of over 500 Nm at the rear wheel can be achieved, the manufacturer further outlines. The compact and lightweight design is intended to allow easy integration into a variety of applications.

The unit is supposed to offer the best radial flux for efficiency and performance, low cogging torque for smooth acceleration and precise handling at low speeds, and an air-cooled system with high torque at high speeds. The motor meets the IP67 protection class and can be used under all conditions. It is designed to utilize CAKE’s own frame, suspension, and components, thus ensuring agility and control.
