Electrek reports that the product is sold through the official Tesla Shop. The company is entering children’s products not with a toy, but with a relatively expensive accessory carrying an automotive badge.
Pricing and availability
The Tesla Balance Bike for Kids costs $225 in the United States, or roughly 18,000 rubles at the current exchange rate. That places it near the middle of the premium balance-bike segment: Woom 1 costs $249, while Strider 14x Sport sells for $220. Conventional balance bikes often cost $50–120, putting Tesla’s model well outside the mass-market category.
Tesla has not disclosed when the balance bike will go on sale outside the United States. For now, its reach depends on whether the product remains a local purchase for Tesla fans or follows the company’s other merchandise experiments into additional markets.
