TRAVERSE 120
CAKE Worlds was created to demonstrate how the benefits of Cake ’ s electric motorcycles are able to transform two-wheeled racing , offering a future-proofed alternative to the receding world of fossil fueled racing . The silent , zero-polluting motorcycles are raced on tight , spectator-friendly tracks - that in turn can be built costefficiently in urban environments , further lowering the bar of entry to the sport . The 4X format is additionally gender neutral , meaning that women race alongside men , on equal terms .
“ CAKE Worlds is all about spreading the joy of bike riding , proving that it is inclusive while showing that it ’ s possible to enjoy motorbike racing without polluting or disturbing the local community ," explained Stefan Ytterborn , founder and CEO of CAKE . " With 70 percent of all motorsport tracks having closed their doors in the past 15 years , mainly due to issues of noise and pollution , we see a clear opportunity to establish a new racing format that everyone can enjoy ."
The CAKE Worlds Finals will be held at the Fox Raceway in Pala , CA , later this year . There , the fastest CAKE riders in North America will face their European counterparts , who in turn will qualify in CAKE Worlds events held throughout Europe this summer .
