The 2018 CAKE Kalk has 2 recalls, both centered on the lithium battery pack, which can fail in ways that create a fire risk or cause a sudden loss of power to the rear wheel while riding.
The battery can overheat during normal use or while charging, raising the risk of fire. Separately from the heat concern, a power loss to the wheel can occur without warning, which may cause the rider to lose control and crash.
