About Pebble

Pebble Life designs and manufactures all-electric recreational vehicles (RVs), with its main product being the Pebble Flow. This RV combines home comfort with mobility, featuring a large electric vehicle battery, integrated solar panels, and a dual motor Active Propulsion Assist System (APAS) for extended range and easy towing. The Pebble Flow includes smart features like the Magic Hitch, which automatically connects to the tow vehicle, and InstaCamp, allowing for quick campsite setup. Its interior is designed with panoramic windows, convertible furniture, and a minimalist aesthetic, catering to eco-conscious travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.
