The first such anti-poaching patrols in Africa. Electric motorbikes in action

Quiet, lighter and solar powered electric motorcycles from Swedish company Cake have already provided an alternative to diesel heavy two-wheelers, allowing for more style anti-poaching patrols in Africa. It’s the fruit of Cake’s collaboration with Southern African Wildlife College and Goal Zero, which takes the form of both a motorcycle and a fun show.

Cake’s Kalk AP electric motorcycles went on the first anti-poaching patrols in Africa

Until now, to counter poaching, wildlife rangers at Southern African Wildlife College have used internal combustion motorbikes to patrol the African bush. These have become an artifact of the past, however, against the backdrop of the latest Kalk AP electric bikes, which borrowed the best of Cake’s Kalk OR, complementing it with a sealed drivetrain, more robust suspension, custom off-road tires and a lightweight frame.

On board Cake Kalk Or there is also a trunk for transporting medical equipment, a strong Silva reflector for night patrols and a number of elements made of Trifilon biocomposite. The drive is responsible for the combination of an 11-kW electric motor with a set of replaceable 2.6 kWh batteries. In the highest mode, this drive allows you to drive for an hour when fully charged, but on the lowest Explore with a maximum speed of 45 km / h, 3-4 hours of driving can already be done.

The charging of these bikes is carried out using the Goal Zero mobile solar charging station, and if you like this initiative, you can support it. All you have to do is buy this bike for your own use for $ 25,000, which will give Southern African Wildlife College another model and an additional charging station.
