The Pebble Flow Named To Fast Company’s 2024 List of World Changing Ideas

Towing presents a set of challenges on the road. From safety concerns to decreased efficiency, towing can detract from the joy of the journey. The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in recent years has added a layer of complexity, introducing issues related to towing capability, charging logistics, and range anxiety.

When towing a travel trailer with electric vehicles, the additional weight and drag significantly increase your energy consumption and thus impact your vehicle’s range, which means more money and time spent on charging and the added stress of finding a charging spot. 

“It’s been very clear now for a couple of years that the use case of towing with an EV is broken” - Stefan Solyom, CTO of Pebble. 

Pebble’s mission is to empower anyone to take their lifestyle on the road by making it as simple, accessible, and as beautiful as possible.  

Every choice we make is intended to give you more opportunity, flexibility and access while also giving you back more time for the moments that matter most. This led us to ponder: How can we eliminate the towing hassles and provide our customers with more time for adventure? 

“It’s by far the largest contributor to range loss. The entire journey of how the air comes and goes is important. Every surface needs to be analyzed.”  - William Li, Head of Mechanical Engineering of Pebble. 

Drag, lift, headwinds, crosswinds. How the air goes around the front corners and then the back corner. How the crosswinds attack your sidewalls and go over your roof. These are all elements of aerodynamics. How the air flows impacts not just your driving efficiency but also your towing stability.

Pebble’s approach to tackling these challenges involves both design and technology. The streamlined design of the Pebble Flow features rounded edges and smooth surfaces complemented by a patented active aero system. The system features a telescoping aero component at the trailer’s front which automatically elevates itself at high speeds and lowers when parked. It redirects airflow from the tow vehicle to avoid direct impact on the flat front window, thereby decreasing drag and improving the overall towing stability. We’ve spent countless hours refining the design through advanced computational simulations. We want the air to come in nicely, and leave gracefully, in all directions. 

The result – 300% as aerodynamic as a conventional travel trailer. The impact of these enhancements is substantial. 

Towing should be safe and effortless, whether towing with an SUV, a pick-up truck, a gas vehicle or an EV. 

While enhancing aerodynamics boosts towing stability and efficiency, we’ve gone a step further to reduce the power required by the tow vehicle, thereby extending your range. The Pebble Flow with Magic Pack is equipped with a dual-motor Active Propulsion Assist System, powered by two electric motors. The industry-first system intelligently supplies the optimal amount of torque, making you almost forget you’re pulling a load. Using the Pebble App, you can pre-set your desired state of charge for when you arrive at your destination, allowing the system to intelligently optimize the propulsion assist in real-time. Alternatively, you have the flexibility to manually activate or deactivate the system at any time. Stefan puts it compellingly, “The transition from Easy Tow off to Easy Tow on is so profound, it becomes addictive”. 


Easy Tow drastically lowers the energy and torque demands on the tow vehicle, alleviating range concerns for EV drivers and improving fuel efficiency for those with gas-powered vehicles.

The ease doesn’t end with propulsion assist. Setting the Pebble Flow apart from conventional travel trailers, it is equipped with three braking systems: automotive friction brakes for reliable stopping power, parking brakes eliminating the need for wheel chocks and regenerative braking, mirroring the driving experience of an electric vehicle. The regenerative braking system not only ensures smooth and effective deceleration but also instills confidence during descents, as it actively slows the vehicle while simultaneously recharging Pebble Flow’s battery. This harmonious blend of technology ensures that drivers experience superior stopping behavior and peace of mind while towing, especially when navigating down steep mountainous terrain.

Since unveiling the Pebble Flow last year, continuous enhancements have been made to both hardware and software. Through rigorous testing with popular tow vehicle options, including all-electric ones like the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1S, we’ve observed encouraging outcomes.

EV efficiency is commonly measured in miles per kilowatt-hour (miles per kWh). This metric indicates how many miles an EV can travel on one kilowatt-hour of electricity; therefore, higher figures mean better efficiency. When towing, the efficiency of EVs decreases dramatically due to air resistance and weight. 

According to feedback from Rivian owners in the Pebble Community, towing a 5,500 lbs travel trailer with a Rivian R1S typically results in an efficiency of 0.8 to 1.2 miles per kWh. 

The preliminary data reported by the R1S towing a 6,200 lbs Pebble Flow engineering prototype however show that at a constant speed of 55 mph, the average efficiency stands at 1.4 miles per kWh without active propulsion assist. This increases to 1.8 miles per kWh when the active propulsion assist system is activated. While the initial results are promising, we at Pebble are committed to further testing and enhancing performance ahead of production commencement later this year.

Prior, he had a 9-year tenure at Apple leading iPhone development and creating the magical iPhone experience that brings surprise and delight to customers.

Yang is joined by Chief Technology Officer Stefan Solyom, who brings over 20 years of experience in the automotive and tech industries. Solyom was a founding member of the Tesla Autopilot team and spent 7 years at Apple and 10 years at Volvo Cars as a top technical leader focused on safety and autonomous systems. Alongside Yang and Solyom, the rest of the Pebble team brings additional expertise from Cruise, Lucid Motors and other leading technology and automotive companies.

“At Pebble, I can see the influence of Apple’s culture and approach. Pebble’s focus on applying cutting-edge tech in service of design, simplicity, and user experience rather than for its own sake is reminiscent of the core values that have made Apple a leader in the tech industry,” said Dave Rosenthal, a former executive at Apple and advisor for Pebble. “The RV industry has been relatively stagnant for decades and it’s exciting to see Pebble moving it forward in huge leaps.”

More details about the Pebble Vehicle will be unveiled later this year. 

Pebble is a California-based startup defining a new way to work, live and explore from anywhere with a 100% electric, hassle-free RV. Built by a team of experts in both automotive and consumer technology, Pebble combines electrification with cutting-edge automotive technology for an RV experience that removes the hassles RV owners have struggled with for decades. 

I had always wanted to take an RV trip, so a few years ago, during the pandemic, I, like many others, finally took the plunge. I loved the feeling of freedom, but I hated the product experience. There are bumps in every part of the journey that you have to overcome in order to access the good part of RVing — freedom. That’s why I’m building Pebble — an entirely new way to work, live, explore, and experience life on the road. We will use technology to strip away these hassles so that more people will feel comfortable RVing and our customers can focus on the magic of the RVing experience: exploring, relaxing, and making memories.

Traditional RV models, and even emerging ones, come with a host of hassles: insufficient energy storage, outdated tech and designs, poor towing experience, high fuel costs, and constant maintenance and safety issues, to name a few. For many people, these hassles will be too intimidating and hold them back from taking on RVing. I don’t blame them.

So, Pebble was born to remove the inconveniences that RVers have dealt with for decades and introduce an all-electric and hassle-free RV experience.

The fact that our product is 100% electric was a no-brainer. We’re proud to do our part in the move towards a more sustainable future, but more so, we want to make RVing accessible to more people by automating the most challenging aspects of the RV experience.

Gone are the days of all things that detract from the joy of RVing. We’re using cutting-edge automotive and electric vehicle technology to create a more manageable, accessible, and simply magical user experience. If you can operate an iPhone, you’ll be able to comfortably use our product.

Designed with lifestyle in mind, the fully furnished, eco-friendly interior provides users with everything they need to work, sleep and relax, and our renewable energy power sources allow off-grid exploration for up to seven days.

Today, Pebble is officially emerging from stealth with $13.6M in funding. I’m lucky to be surrounded by some of the brightest minds in automotive and consumer technology with a team that comes from Apple, Tesla, Volvo, Lucid, Cruise, and more.

We know that for so many people, RVing is no longer just a vacation. It’s a lifestyle. We’re here to make that lifestyle more accessible, whether it’s a family looking for more quality time together, a retiree seeking a new sense of adventure, or a digital nomad who wants to work from truly anywhere.

We promise you’ve never seen an RV experience like this before.
