ReBake Motors unveils modular electric Abler at EICMA 2026
At EICMA 2026 in Milan, Swedish startup ReBake Motors introduced its first electric two-wheeler, the Abler, a modular utility-focused moped and light motorcycle. The company is led by founder and CEO Karl Ytterborn, who spent eight years at CAKE from its founding in 2016 until 2024, and aims to apply lessons learned from that venture while cutting cost and complexity.
The Abler features a 42 mm aluminum tube frame designed as a mounting system for cargo accessories, enabling configurations ranging from grocery transport to passenger carrying. Two models are offered: the Abler45, classified as an EU L1e-B moped, delivers a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) with a 4 kW nominal motor and 5.12 kW peak output, priced at €3,990 incl. VAT; and the Abler80, an A1 light motorcycle, provides a top speed above 80 km/h (50 mph), a 6.14 kW nominal motor, 7.68 kW peak, and costs €4,990 incl. VAT.
Both versions use a direct-drive rear hub motor and removable 2 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate batteries weighing 17 kg each. The Abler45 ships with one battery but can accommodate two, while the Abler80 includes two for a combined 4 kWh capacity. ReBake claims a low-speed urban range of up to 160 km (99 mi) on the Abler45 and 114 km (71 mi) on the Abler80 when both batteries are installed, with a full charge from a standard 230 V outlet in four hours.
Additional hardware includes 14-inch cast wheels, 140 mm front suspension travel, dual rear shocks, front and rear disc brakes with combined braking, regenerative braking, and full LED lighting. The launch marks the emergence of another Swedish electric motorcycle startup following CAKE’s collapse, suggesting renewed interest in lightweight, unconventional electric two-wheelers.
