The Kalk INK& is engineered for the outback and for your daily commute. The Kalk INK& is based on the same technology as the Kalk&. It is slightly heavier with a simplified and yet sturdier suspension.
The focus on developing the Kalk models has been off-road performance and innovation.
As there wasn’t anything off-the-shelf to support the new category of Light Electric Off-Road Motorbikes (L.E.Os), every single component had to be developed from an empty sheet, to support the intended level of quality and durability:
Everything from the rims, hubs, stems to the custom Öhlins suspension is engineered and dimensioned, specific for the Kalk and the new category; lightweight electric motorbikes. The light and snappy ride, with its focus on off and on-trail riding, in the outback, means that its main character is about torque and acceleration while providing a quiet gliding and surfy experience. Thanks to its digital pre-setting, serving for 3 different riding modes, it will let anyone fly at their own level.
Please note that Kalk INK& is certified for street use and has great off-road performance as well. A1/ M1 license is required (EU/ USA).
