Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott gave an unexpected gift to his team: 'It was truly priceless'
The 31-year-old partnered with EMOTO Supply Co. to deliver CAKE Makka electric mopeds to each of the NFL team's players, and all the machines were branded with jersey numbers and adorned in Cowboys colors.
It's a fun gift for the squad after a tough season that featured a Prescott injury, a 7-10 record, and no playoff appearance, and it looks like they all enjoyed their first experience with the electric bikes.
"Dak's leadership and thoughtfulness are truly inspiring," said EMOTO Supply Co. founder and managing partner Michael Joyce, per CW33. "I get to see reactions of people's first times on electric bikes daily, but seeing the players' reactions when they stepped on the CAKE bikes, it was truly priceless. We are fortunate to have had the opportunity to curate this end-of-season gift for Dak."
The standard Makka bike has a top speed of 28 mph and can cover 34 miles on a single charge. EMOTO says it is a "machine built to last" and perfect for carrying smaller bags and groceries.
The Makka can help encourage owners to leave their gas-guzzling cars behind for shorter trips. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 28% of the United States' production of planet-warming pollution comes from vehicles.
Keeping the car at home when possible can help to shrink transportation's negative environmental impact. While the electricity used to charge the bikes might be created by burning dirty fuels, you can further reduce pollution by filling the battery with electricity created by solar panels.
What's more, with no tailpipe on the back, the Makka won't release health-harming toxic gasses and particulate matter when zipping from A to B.
YouTubers enjoyed the video and had praise for the gift that Prescott chose.
"Awesome gift; you can see the joy on the players' faces!" one commenter wrote. "Excellent choice of gift too!"
"Welcome to the Ebike world!" another person added. "Lots of fun!"

Colin Cowherd Has a Problem With Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer's Backward Visor
National Football League Colin Cowherd Has a Problem With Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer's Backward Visor Published Aug. 5, 2025 12:23 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link A lot of people like to wear a hat backward, and sometimes even a visor. To most people, it's not a big deal. Again, to most people. "You know I don't like backwards hats. What's worse is a backward visor. That's a two-win team," Colin Cowherd said on Monday's edition of "The Herd" about Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer wearing a backward visor at a press conference. "I'm taking away four wins. When you sit in front of a podium, you're representing the Cowboys; you're representing Bank of America; you're representing a $12 billion corporation. I think you got to do better as a head coach than a visor backwards. "There's a reason that at country clubs and private clubs, you have to wear collared shirts and jackets. There's a reason for that. There's a standard. I don't want to look like a guy that's here to move my couch. I want you to do better than that. That's awful. That is so bad." It's a sentiment that Cowherd has previously expressed, including with Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. With regard to Redick, Cowherd said at the time that, "We can't just keep lowering our standards, or pretty soon, hat on backward becomes flip-flops and board shorts to work." If I have to be the mean guy that has to start the national dialogue on standards, so be it. … Go ahead. Standards are standards." ADVERTISEMENT Schottenheimer is entering his first season as the Cowboys' head coach after spending the previous two seasons as their offensive coordinator (2023-24) and the 2022 season as a coaching analyst. Dallas opens its 2025 preseason on the road on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. Will Schottenheimer break out the visor? It's projected to be between the mid 60s and mid 70s in Inglewood, CA, where the Rams play, on Saturday. Chances are if the Dallas head coach indeed breaks one a backward visor, Cowherd will be punching air. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
