CAKE and Comodule re-invented a totally new type of vehicle and user experience
The well-known high-performance electric motorbikes manufacturer, CAKE, launched new features on their bikes with its unique modular design that cover just about every need imaginable. In addition to the vehicles’ unique design, performance, and individuality, their new bikes feature heating box and freezer integration and are connected to the internet. The connectivity is enabled by Comodule’s customized app and IoT solution. As a pioneer of connecting light electric vehicles to the internet, Comodule joined in with know-how and expertise in how to integrate standardized IoT solutions to satisfy both bike manufacturers’ and end-users’ needs. “Comodule is thrilled to work with the CAKE team to empower their unique vision on 2-wheelers of tomorrow. We’re excited to unlock digital services for CAKE and its users,” says Teet Praks, the Co-Founder of Comodule.
The beauty of developing vehicles in a modular way (which both CAKE and Comodule are about) is that it can always be taken apart and put together differently. The unique and sophisticated design of CAKE bikes and clever customized connectivity solutions from Comodule allow both manufacturers and end-users to know each other and their needs. "It´s been a true pleasure working with the Comodule team. The combination of meeting current and future functionalities stated by us, together with opening our minds to new and amazing paths, establishing user compliance and services, far beyond what we could imagine is truly energizing,” says CAKE’S CEO Stefan Ytterborn.
Real-life overview of the vehicles with anti-theft solution
The connectivity solution that Comodule provides for CAKE’s vehicles consists of remote telematics and diagnostics, an anti-theft solution, and measuring bike performance over time. It also offers worldwide and weather-proof connectivity whether riding and commuting in the Scandinavian snowy natural paths, riding across the US deserts, or tracking down rhino poachers in South Africa. As it is a standard Comodule IoT solution, this part of the project was set into motion quickly. In addition to providing the best possible solution for the manufacturer, there was a question of how to settle the end-users' needs and work out some extra functions. Here’s when the customized app came into play. While the end-users enjoy the connected ride experience and features, the manufacturers can follow bike statistics via Comodule’s Platform, providing necessary over the air updates and connecting with the user through the iOS App.
E-Bike owners can read bike data and CO2 saving
From the end-users’ perspective, these newly launched features enable communicating through the iOS App. Just to name a few, riders are able to visualize bike settings and data: battery and charging status, CO2 saving, bike’s ID, technical data, odometer, monthly ride statistics, etc. When trouble arises, users will receive theft attempt notifications and can follow the bike’s live location remotely, directly within the App. In the rare case of a malfunction, bike owners have direct in-App access to CAKE’s maintenance manuals and spare parts online shop.
Sustainability is the core value for both companies
For CAKE, it was vital that everything, from frame to wheels, components, suspension, and drivetrain would be specifically engineered and manufactured to reach the intended level of performance in riding, durability, and overall quality. Both CAKE and Comodule stick true to their values, not compromising their way of work. CAKE’s mission is to contribute to speeding up the transition towards a zero-emission society, combining excitement with responsibility. Comodule joins that idea by empowering emissionless transport through vehicle connectivity. So, it was also relevant to follow sustainability to prove it’s possible not to sacrifice natural resources.
