Full Size Folding Electric Bike in a Tesla Model S
Sleek, sexy, powerful, silent, exhilarating, and manufactured in the USA! Kind of sounds like a Tesla Model S, doesn’t it? Well, close. If a Tesla can ever reincarnate, we think it would surely come back in the form of a revolutionary Prodeco Technologies folding electric bike.
If you’re not familiar with electric bikes, also known as e-bikes, they’re essentially bicycles with an integrated electric motor that can assist with propulsion. The small electric motor is attached to either the front or rear wheel and supplements the rider’s pedaling power, making it especially helpful during steep hill climbs or when you’re just feeling lazy.
Prodeco Tech Storm
Prodeco Technologies is one of the world’s largest and most innovative manufacturers within the growing e-bike industry, and has a reputation for craftsmanship, superb design and progressive technology. That’s why we were so excited when we heard about the opportunity to review one of their latest line of folding electric bikes during one of our Supercharged road trips.
Initial impression
We tested their Storm series; an attractive looking bike that compliments the sleek lines of the Tesla Model S very well. We’ve heard that electric bikes tend to be on the heavier side due to the weight of the Lithium-ion batteries (no surprises there), but was shockingly surprised by how “normal” it felt in terms of weight, especially considering that it’s a full-sized electric bike.
Right away you can tell that the bike has got some serious stopping power, with mountain bike caliber Avid disc brakes attached to both the front and rears. Prodeco clearly took no shortcuts when it came to retrofitting the e-bike with the best available components.

Lithium-Ion Battery Power
Li-ion Battery (LiFePO4): Like the Tesla, the electric motor and battery are the key, and likely the most expensive, components of the Prodeco Tech electric bicycle. We were told that every Prodeco bike comes with an advanced LiFePO4 battery that uses a Lithium-ion-derived chemistry with a much longer life cycle and higher energy density over other Li-ion technologies. It’s able to maintain a constant discharge voltage which means you’ll have access to full power until the battery is discharged. To us, this translates purely to prolonged fun! More on that later.
It’s pretty evident that Prodeco spared no expense or quality when it came to engineering their line of electric bicycles. When we dug into the history of the 7 year old bike company a bit more, we learned that Prodeco Technologies struck a partnership deal with one of the world’s top Li-ion battery producers. The strategic partnership allowed Prodeco to incorporate the high-end LiFePO4 battery, a technology that’s rarely used due to its higher cost, on all of their bikes; giving them a much larger competitive advantage over other e-bike manufacturers. It was a win-win for Prodeco – premium Li-ion battery technology and at a price point that’s often on par, if not cheaper, than e-bikes of much lesser quality.
Electric HUB Motor: Ok, where? Had it not been for the rear-mounted battery pack, a dead giveaway that this was something more than just a regular bike, we would have never been able to tell that the Storm 300 was actually an electric bike. Prodeco went with an ultra lightweight and energy efficient performance motor that’s mounted directly onto the wheel hub. The 300 watt motor (500 watt peak) weighs in at only 5.5 lbs, but what’s even cooler is that the motor is attached via a weatherproof quick-disconnect connector, making motor swaps a cinch. We know what you’re thinking; and yes, you can upgrade to a more powerful version of the electric motor!
Folding Electric Bike in a Tesla Model S
WARNING: This is not a magic trick. What you’re about to see is real. Please try this at home. We fit this full-sized electric bike into the Tesla Model S and still had enough room for 5 adult passengers. Don’t believe us? See for yourself.
Prodeco Tech’s Storm e-bike literally folds in half and stows perfectly into the trunk of the Model S. We didn’t even have to flip the rear seats down!
Side note: The Model S was extra shiny that day given that it came off a fresh coat of CQuart Finest. We’re doing a comparison between Opti-Coat Pro vs CQuartz Finest in an upcoming story.
Made in the USA
All Prodeco Technologies electric bicycles are designed, assembled and quality controlled at their 60,000 sq ft facility in South Florida. Each bike is proudly built by hand and takes upwards of 7 hours to complete. Prodeco also offers a lifetime warranty on their aircraft-grade aluminum frames and a 2 yr warranty on the LiFePO4 battery which not many manufacturers can match.
Riding the Prodeco Tech Electric Bike
We packed up the Storm 300 into our Model S and headed out on a test ride in the hills of Malibu Creek state park.

Riding an electric bike for the first time is as monumental and life changing as the first time you drove a Tesla Model S. You’re not quite sure what to expect until you hear the subtle whirl and feel the instantaneous torque of the electric motor propel you forward. It’s exhilarating, it’s ridiculously fun and it’s addictive. The impression it leaves on you makes you want to come back for more, because you just feel great doing it.
Turning the key which is situated below the rear-mounted battery activates the electric bike. A set of LEDs, located near the 1/2 twist throttle on the right handle bar, lights up and lets you know that you’re about to have some fun. And we’re off!
The Prodeco bikes are solid and they do a great job absorbing a variety of terrains using their adjustable suspensions. The Storm is primarily a street and light trail bike, however Prodeco offers a huge selection of bikes that can suit even the most discriminating rider. Their Phantom X2 has received countless rave reviews and by far one of their most popular bikes. It’s pretty much the same bike as the Storm, but with upgraded components and a motor that’s 67% more powerful.
Pedaling on the Prodeco Tech Storm is smooth and gear changes happen with lightening quick precision thanks to the SRAM X7 Twist 8 Speed Shifter. Let it be known that pedaling is still required when it comes to riding an electric bicycle. E-bikes are not scooters. The electric motor act as a supplemental source of energy to pedaling, and becomes especially handy during uphill climbs or when you just want to go faster. The 300 watt motor, which delivers 500 watts at peak, is capable of propelling the bike to just shy of 20 mph. Did we already mention that it’s insanely fun to ride?
Conclusion
Prodeco Technologies is the Tesla of electric bikes. Through perfect execution and a no-compromises approach, they’ve managed to revolutionize the electric bike industry and become one of the leaders within the premium segment. It’s no wonder that the ProdecoTech brand has become the bike of choice for Tesla owners and enthusiasts.
The Storm 300 is electric, it’s sleek, stunning to look at, portable, and overall the perfect companion for the Tesla Model S – electric x 2!

SpaceXAI just launched into your kitchen with their new app
SpaceXAI just powered its first consumer app and it predicts what you want to buy.
SpaceXAI just made its first move into consumer AI, and it involves your grocery cart. On June 3, 2026, Gopuff and SpaceXAI announced the launch of Go, a Grok-powered shopping assistant built directly into the Gopuff app that predicts what you need before you even start searching for it.
Gopuff is an instant delivery platform that operates more than 400 micro-fulfillment centers across the U.S., delivering everyday essentials, snacks, drinks, and household items in as little as 15 minutes. It is not a restaurant delivery app or a marketplace. It owns its inventory, controls its warehouses, and handles its own logistics, which means it has built one of the most detailed consumer behavior datasets in retail over its 13-year history.
Go combines SpaceXAI’s advanced reasoning, voice, and image generation models with Gopuff’s dataset of hundreds of millions of orders and real-time cultural signals from X to prepare a suggested cart the moment a customer opens the app. It learns each shopper’s habits and automatically builds a personalized cart based on time of day, location, order history, and real-time indicators. Returning customers can check out with a single tap.
Rather than searching for specific items, users can describe a situation like a game-day party or the desire for a healthy breakfast and Go will assemble a cart automatically. It can also predict when shoppers are running low on items like coffee or paper towels and have them packed and delivered in under 15 minutes. Grok voice integration lets users talk to the app in plain conversational language and check out completely hands-free.
Gopuff co-founder and co-CEO Yakir Gola said: “Today, we believe the greatest friction left in commerce is not delivery or instantaneous access to the essentials customers need. It’s the moment before: the thinking, the deciding, the remembering. We’re combining Gopuff’s demand intelligence with xAI’s frontier reasoning to create an everyday shopping experience that feels like a true extension of you.”
Why SpaceX just made a $60 billion bet on AI coding ahead of historic IPO
The timing carries context beyond the product launch. SpaceXAI was formed after SpaceX completed an all-stock merger with Elon Musk’s xAI earlier this year, folding one of the most advanced AI labs in the world into the same corporate structure as the company preparing what could be the largest IPO in history. SpaceXAI is dipping into consumer-focused AI just as it prepares for its public debut, and while Musk has openly discussed building an everything app, this launch uses Grok to power another company’s product rather than launching a standalone consumer platform. Every consumer-facing deployment of Grok ahead of the IPO roadshow adds tangible evidence that SpaceXAI is not just an infrastructure play but a direct competitor in the AI application layer where OpenAI and Google are already fighting for dominance.

Tesla saves its passengers again – This time after a 300-foot cliff fall in Malibu
A Tesla Model 3 fell 300 feet off a Malibu cliff and both passengers survived.
A Tesla Model 3 plunged roughly 300 feet off a cliff on Mulholland Highway in Malibu on Friday morning, May 29, 2026, and both occupants survived. The crash was reported at approximately 7:30 a.m. near the 2500 block of Mulholland Highway, triggering a multi-agency rescue operation involving Malibu Search and Rescue, the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the California Highway Patrol, and McCormick Ambulance.
When first responders arrived, the male driver was outside the vehicle shouting for help while the female passenger remained pinned inside the Tesla. Rescue crews rappelled down the cliffside on ropes to reach the wreckage. A flight medic was lowered by helicopter to begin treating both victims, and the driver was hoisted up to the roadway before crews used the Jaws of Life to free the trapped passenger. Both were airlifted to a local trauma center with moderate injuries despite a remarkable result for a fall that steep.
The outcome is not surprising, considering Model 3 earned an overall 5-star rating from NHTSA in every category and sub-category, and recorded the lowest probability of injury of any car ever evaluated by the U.S. New Car Assessment Program. The absence of a traditional engine in the front of the vehicle creates a longer crumple zone that absorbs impact energy before it reaches occupants, and the battery pack running along the floor gives the car an unusually low center of gravity that reinforces structural rigidity.
This is not the first time a Tesla has kept passengers alive after going off a cliff. A Tesla Model Y carrying a family of four survived a plunge off a cliff at Devil’s Slide near San Francisco in January 2023, with two adults and two children walking away from a 250-foot fall. That incident drew widespread attention to how the structural integrity of Tesla’s electric platform performs in extreme crash scenarios that most vehicles would not survive.

NASA’s first human outpost on the Moon starts now – SpaceX on deck
NASA named the rovers, landers, and vendors that will build America’s first Moon Base.
NASA has laid out its most detailed Moon Base plan to date, describing a permanent outpost near the Moon’s south pole that the agency intends to build over the coming decade as a direct stepping stone to Mars. “The Moon Base will be America’s and humanity’s first outpost on another celestial world,” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said, adding that every mission crewed and uncrewed “will be a learning opportunity as we return to the lunar surface, build the infrastructure to stay, and master the skills required to live and operate in one of the most demanding and dangerous environments imaginable.”
The plan is structured in three phases involving both uncrewed and crewed missions to deliver equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure to the surface, with the first three moon base missions targeted to launch before the end of 2026.
Moon Base I, targeting fall 2026, will use Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 1 lander to deliver scientific instruments to the Shackleton Connecting Ridge, the same region where Artemis astronauts will land. Moon Base II will send Astrobotic’s Griffin lander carrying more than 1,100 pounds of cargo including Astrolab’s FLIP rover to begin developing mobility systems on the surface. Moon Base III will carry the Lunar Vertex science mission on Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C Trinity lander to study lunar swirls near the south pole, with ESA and Korean science payloads aboard.
On the rover side, NASA awarded Astrolab $219 million and Lunar Outpost $220 million to build the first phase of Lunar Terrain Vehicles, with both rovers targeted for deployment to the lunar surface by 2028. Astrolab’s crewed rover weighs roughly 2,000 pounds and can reach over 6 mph. Lunar Outpost’s Pegasus rover can operate autonomously or via remote control at over 9 mph. Blue Origin separately received $188 million with an option worth $280.4 million to deliver cargo landers for rover transport.
NASA also confirmed that MoonFall, a mission deploying four survey drones to scout Artemis landing sites, has selected Firefly Aerospace to build the transport spacecraft, with a 2028 launch target.
SpaceX sits at the center of that commercial layer. SpaceX holds the NASA Human Landing System contract for the Starship-derived lander that will put astronauts on the surface under Artemis IV, currently targeting 2028. Before that can happen, SpaceX must demonstrate in-orbit propellant transfer at scale, a process requiring multiple Starship tanker launches to fuel a single mission. Water ice at the lunar south pole is central to the base’s long-term viability, as it can be converted into drinking water, breathable oxygen, and rocket fuel, directly reducing dependence on Earth resupply. That resource loop becomes far more practical if Starship can land and be refueled on or near the Moon itself.
Elon Musk has publicly stated that Starship V3, which recently completed its first flight, should be capable enough for initial Mars missions. The Moon Base plan announced Tuesday is the infrastructure layer that connects everything between those two ambitions, and SpaceX is the only American company currently contracted to build the rocket that gets humans to either destination.
