Tesla’s latest vehicle is aimed at children rather than commuters: a $225 balance bike for toddlers that has already sold out. The company’s online store listed the bike as of Friday, although Tesla has not disclosed how many units were available.
The motor-free bike has no pedals or brakes and moves entirely through a child’s leg power. Its seat can be adjusted to five positions, and the Tesla logo is displayed prominently on the frame. The website recommends it for children ages 2 to 5, while the manual extends that range to 6.
The bike requires a minimum leg length of 13.7 inches and supports riders weighing up to 77.1 pounds. Tesla is also selling a matching balance-bike T-shirt for $30.
Tesla’s other products for children
The balance bike joins a growing lineup of Tesla-branded children’s products, including:
- The electric Cybertruck for Kids, priced at $1,500
- The Cyberquad for Kids ATV, priced at $1,650
- Smaller model-car toys, including the wind-up Cybercab
Tesla previously worked with Radio Flyer on the Tesla Model S for Kids, which has been discontinued, though replacement parts remain available. The Cyberquad was also recalled over safety violations involving its mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure.

Some Tesla fans have called for an e-bike, but Elon Musk has previously said he considers e-bikes dangerous after an accident while riding one as a teenager. He has said Tesla would not produce one.
A Tesla representative did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
