The CAKE Jante electric motor is the company’s first IPM motor
Named after the Swedish concept of Jantelagen, the CAKE Jante electric motor has been introduced. The Jante is the Swedish electric motorcycle manufacturer’s first ever internal permanent magnet (IPM) motor, and offers performance benefits while utilizing less rare earth magnets when compared to surface permanent magnet (SPM) motors.
The CAKE Jante electric motor was completely developed in-house and can hit speeds over 62 mph and provides about 369 pound-feet of torque at the rear wheel. The Jante also has a radial flux design, reduced cogging, air cooling, and an IP67 classification that, according to CAKE, “allows it to operate in any condition.”
In order to increase durability and decrease weight, the housing is built of aircraft-grade aluminum and is water-resistant to IP67 standards. It also features a dual-bearing shaft . Although the type of testing the company has subjected it to is unclear, we would assume that substantial cold-weather testing has most certainly been carried out given that it was developed in Sweden.
“We are very excited to introduce our new high performance Jante Drivetrain,” said CAKE founder and CEO Stefan Ytterborn in a statement about the CAKE Jante electric motor. “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.”
“After years of development, we have accomplished the truly most optimized IPM (interior permanent magnet) motor with radial flux for efficiency and power,” Ytterborn added. “The result is the most advanced air-cooled drivetrain in the industry, providing innovation in performance, low maintenance, and user experience, all to maximize performance in light off-road vehicles.”
