With the recent and sad news that Cake has gone bankrupt, I've picked this site back up, and am working on a full teardown now.

Cake Osa+

Dissecting the Osa+

The Cake Osa+ is a street legal electric motorcycle produced by Cake bikes. It features an advertised 90 kmh (56 mph) top speed and 84 km (52 mile) range with the stock battery and speed controller, and requires a motorcycle endorsement to drive in most locations.

This site is an evolving record of my explorations into modding the bike, and serves as an information repository for anyone else who might do the same.

Evolving Priorities

Full bike disassembly - strip the bike to its parts
- Feb 16, 2024 - This is complete 🎉 I've documented many of the vendor components below.
Active: 3D scan of bike frame, and CAD reconstruction
Active: Document the full wiring of the bike, and bench test the electrical system independent of the frame
Next: SiliXcon ESC3-SL Deep Dive
- Get diagnostics via SWTools
- Explore stock configuration
Battery Teardown - Demystify communication between the battery and the computer/ESC
Compatible Battery Build - can we make a cell compatible with BOTH the Cake charger and/or Battery Output?
- What's the highest range possible given weight to power?
- Explore alternate battery types
- Explore DC Fast charging potential
Explore the other motors in the Dana TM4 IPM-200 line - could an upgrade be feasible?
