CAKE presents autonomous E-ATV
The Cake Kibb is not intended for fast rides or recreational activities. The ATV is designed for light agricultural use, where it can complement the work of people or machines and "meet the special requirements of regenerative agriculture." Most agricultural vehicles used today emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The Kibb is intended to offer a more environmentally friendly agricultural transport option and play a pioneering role on the path to sustainable agriculture.
"Sustainable and responsible agriculture is essential for healthy ecosystems, and we want to make Kibb the most important tool for all future farmers," explains Cake CEO and founder, Stefan Ytterborn.
Rolling Workbench or Autonomous Transporter
The Kibb features a modular body, not unlike that of the Cake Ösa electric moped: Like the "kit moped," the ATV can be equipped with various attachments and configured for the respective purpose of use. Additionally, the ATV's battery pack can serve as a type of mobile power station, supplying electricity to various devices or equipment used in the field. The Kibb can even autonomously complete individual tasks, allowing farmers to have time for other work.
From Master's Thesis to New Product
The Kibb concept originated as part of a master's thesis by a Swedish transport designer who interned at Cake. The company was so impressed with the idea that it decided to convert it into production development.
The Kibb electric quad was first conceptualized by Fanny Jonsson, a Swedish transport designer, during her master's thesis at the Umeå Institute of Design. As part of her diploma thesis in 2022, Jonsson completed an internship with Cake's product design team and utilized their expertise in product development to design the Kibb electric ATV platform. Since her graduation, Cake has hired Jonsson full-time into the brand's product development team, where she is to help bring the Kibb from rendering to reality.
Cake Kit Concept on Four Wheels
Jonsson was able to combine her original concept with a large part of the technology developed by Cake for its electric motorcycles.
“When I started working on the concept, I had the real-world challenges in mind and explored intensively where there is the most untapped potential in the market,” Jonsson explained. “It was really exciting to combine the Cake DNA with a new vehicle type. That Cake gives me the opportunity to follow the progress from my renderings and the concept to reality is an honor and a great opportunity to take emission-free and regenerative agriculture to the next level.”
Start of Production? Maybe 2025
Those looking forward to driving a Cake Kibb to work (or walking alongside it) will have to be patient a little longer. Cake is still in an early development stage and does not expect the autonomous four-wheeler to hit the market before 2025. Until then, one will have to make do with the company's range of electric motorcycles.
“The name Kibb comes from the old local language 'Gutniska' and means ox,” Ytterborn further explains, “the name seemed fitting to us. The ATV is meant to showcase strength in performing tasks while also symbolizing gentleness regarding biodiversity.”
What does that mean?
An electric powerhouse that functions as a packhorse or mobile workbench and can even operate autonomously if needed. The Cake ATV is naturally a niche product - but a very ingenious one!
