Moreover, the Kalk AP comes with a solar kit such as a solar panel and power station from Goal Zero. That is to say, the anti-poaching rangers will be independent of the fuel or electric power grid on their mission to protect wildlife in the African bush. In addition, using motorbikes on an anti-poaching mission has proven highly successful.

Unfortunately, those bush bikes run on gasoline and their loud combustion engines alert poachers from miles away. Utilizing the Kalk AP off-road electric motorcycle will increase the chance of success. And the rangers can approach the poachers without making any noise. On the other hand, the Kalk AP features 50A / 2.6kWh battery and an 11kW motor.

That offers 3+ hours of riding time and propels the bike to top speeds up to 56mph / 90kph. Apart from that, it has the same gearing mechanism as their previous model electric bikes. Also, this bike features 18 x 1.85-inch rims and 3.5 inches of off-road tires on both wheels.

Its powerful 2100 lumen headlight is completely removable. Further, all the plastic components of this bike are made of recycled, fiber-reinforced Trifilon, and a biodegradable polymer. Meanwhile, this solar-powered motorbike is as light as 176lbs / 80kgs.

Finally, you can pre-order the Kalk Ap on a ‘buy-one-give-one’ campaign for $25,000. That means, the company will donate the same variant bike that you bought to the Southern African Wildlife College’s anti-poaching team.
