Tesla produced a $225 balance bike designed for toddlers. It features no motor or pedals and is already out of stock.
TL;DR: Tesla has released a $225 balance bike designed for children aged 2-5. It features no motor, pedals, or brakes, relying solely on kids' legs for movement and boasts a lightweight magnesium frame. The bike quickly sold out, but Tesla has not revealed the quantity available. Priced at the higher end of the market, it competes with cheaper alternatives, with notable exceptions like the Woom 1, which costs $249 but comes with brakes. Additionally, Tesla is offering a matching T-shirt for the bike at $30. The company has previously created children's products, such as the $1,500 ride-on Cybertruck for Kids and the $1,650 Cyberquad ATV, the latter of which faced a recall for safety violations. Although Tesla fans are eager for an adult e-bike, Musk has stated he deems bikes unsafe due to a past accident and has ruled out production. The balance bike serves as an unexpected compromise: a premium, non-motorized product marketed to a demographic that cannot yet spell the name Tesla. The core vehicle division of Tesla continues to thrive, outperforming expectations by 18%, while selling branded items to young future customers is a low-cost side venture.
