CAKE Makka has a relatively simple design in terms of bodywork. As some of its components are accessible, it is easier to see what needs to be maintained and inspect the objects themselves, making maintenance easier.

Both front and rear shock absorbers are included on the model, as well as on larger motorcycles of the same or similar type. The rear shock absorber is located directly under the seat.

The Volvo electric motorcycle's indicator lights are LED and the footrests are spacious and seem to be able to accommodate the user's feet quite comfortably. As the battery is situated in the center of the bike's bodywork, the lights can be found on either side of the frame.

When they are activated, the stored kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy, which is again supplied to the battery, increasing the range of the Volvo Polestar electric motorcycle.
