Jake Carlini literally wore an electric bike on his body for this latest stunt. Yes, he built a wearable machine that’s cool to watch and terrifying to ride by using his own frame as the backbone of a disassembled e-bike.
At the 2025 UPSummit, 20,000 people gathered to witness an incredible sight: four of Jetson’s sleek ONE personal flyers humming to life on the tarmac. Team members from the Polish company went all out with their Air Games demonstration, putting on a real show stopper: four aircraft lifted off in tight formation and slashed through the air like a squadron from an 80s sci-fi film. Tomasz Patan, the company’s founder, flew in the show, delivering a smooth performance with those eight propellers churning through the Arkansas air.

Seth Alvo, a mountain biker and YouTube creator behind Berm Peak Express, decided to take on the status quo of big e-bike batteries. His creation, the Bermacell 14S, is a 52V battery pack for short, fun rides. Built with 14 Samsung 18650 cells, each 3,000 mAh, this battery has 156wh of power – small enough to fit in a 3D printed case that looks like an oversized 9v battery, but powerful enough to tackle trails and commutes.
