Electrify Expo is set to see the kick off of CAKE’s new IPM motor platform and its dealer recruitment program. Called the “Jante” the new Internal Permanent Magnet (IPM) motor technology was designed from a clean sheet of paper and features an aircraft-grade aluminum housing and dual-bearing shaft. The Jante motor is designed to hit speeds over 100km/h and produce torque numbers over 500Nm on the rear wheel.
"We are very excited to introduce our new high performance Jante Drivetrain," says CAKE CEO/Founder Stefan Ytterborn. "The Jante represents a significant advancement in CAKE’s electric motor design, providing our customers with a superior product that meets their needs for performance, efficiency and reliability.” Lighter weight, improved efficiency and more torque… what’s not to like?
“The biggest reason for our in-house developed motor is to take major steps forward, increasing performance for the category of lightweight electric motorcycles. At the heart of our vehicles everything is based on CAKE components that together deliver performance to the next level. We are happy to see our drivetrain technology being used in a number of bold projects. CAKE battery controller algorithms and more are already in other builds, and the new Jante is a significant addition to our drivetrain technology,” concludes Ytterborn.
Key benefits claimed for the Jante include:
• New IPM motor technology
• Higher torque at high RPM
• Improved durability and reliability due to dual-bearing shaft and aircraft-grade aluminum housing, rated at IP67
• Low cogging for smooth acceleration and precise handling at low speeds
• Compact and lightweight design for easy integration into a wide range of applications
But what does the name mean? The Law of Jante, or "Jantelagen" in Swedish, is a set of informal social norms that have been assumed and observed by people in the Nordic countries. These norms emphasize modesty, humility and the idea that no individual is more important than the collective group.
