Tesla launches its first bike — a $225 pedal-free model for ages two to five
TL;DR
Tesla's $225 balance bike is for ages 2–5, capped at 30 kg on its site, with late-August shipping.
Tesla is selling a bicycle under its own brand for the first time, but it is a $225 Kids Balance Bike for children ages two to five, not an electric bike. The pedal-free model is available to order from the U.S. store, which lists expected shipping in late August.
The bike has a lightweight magnesium alloy frame, 12-inch wheels, pneumatic tires, an adjustable saddle and a foot platform, with no motor, battery or brake. Tesla's current product page gives a 30 kg rider limit; several launch reports cited 35 kg.
The product uses Tesla automotive lines and a black-and-red finish but includes no Tesla AI, autonomous-vehicle or child EV function. The $225 is the retail price, not a deposit. Tesla has not disclosed initial production, orders or merchandise revenue.
Tesla's sizing chart requires a minimum 35 cm inseam and adult assembly and supervision. The order page says late-August shipping, not guaranteed delivery by that date.
