The Cake Ösa + doesn’t look or feel like other motor-driven cycles—and not just the combustion-powered ones, either. The brand has its own design language, which is clearly evident up and down the current model lineup—including this bike. Since it’s out there, drifting on its own and quite unlike anything else, that design language tends to be rather divisive; either you really, really love it, or you really, really don’t.
It’s a design language that doesn’t play it safe—and whether it’s a design you like or not, isn’t that admirable on its own merits? To me, one of the coolest things about the electrification of all kinds of powered-two wheelers is when people try new things. From alternate-timeline takes on the evolution of what we think of as “motorcycles,” to futuristic little scooters that look like they came out of a sci-fi sketchbook, I kind of adore this aspect of electrification. It’s invigorating.
