Cake Aik might sound like something you get when you eat too many chocolate eclairs in one go, but in the ancient Swedish language of Gutnish it means ‘big and heavy load’ – and that’s pretty appropriate for something that’s the e-bike equivalent of a mule. Highly customisable and capable of carrying a cargo of up to 200kg, it can be fitted with up to three 750Wh batteries, which will give it a range of nearly 224 miles – that’s the distance between London and Hartlepool. Its 250W motor is only capable of hitting 16mph, but with 100Nm of torque it should have enough grunt to stop you toppling over when setting off with a big load. And unlike a mule, it has built-in lights. from £5500 / ridecake.com
