In the world of car + bicycle collaborations, an ebike from an electric car company seems like it would make sense. And after years of speculation, Tesla just released their first bike: a balance bike for toddlers.

It’s probably not what the Teslarati were hoping for, but it’s probably one of the easiest ways to get into bike design. Constructed with a magnesium alloy frame, Tesla claims this is lightweight, yet fails to provide an actual weight for the bike. The frame features a “futuristic design” including a wedge-shaped seat that juts forward from the frame and can be adjusted to 5 height levels. There is a minimum leg length requirement of 13.7 inches (35 cm), and the bike is targeted at children aged 2–5 years.

The frame itself looks quite wide at the rear, and with hard 90º angles on the top tube/seat tube area, it seems like it could potentially be painful for children frequently crashing as they learn to ride a balance bike.

While most kids’ bikes these days are moving towards smaller diameter handlebars and grips, the Tesla Balance Bike seems to have gone in the other direction with a chunky one-piece bar/stem.

Weight capacity is rated at a “recommended” 66.1 lb (30 kg), but with a maximum limit of 77.1 lb (35 kg). Assembly tools are included (a few Allen wrenches), so you can install the handlebar/stem following the Ikea-esque instructions.

Availability is slated for a late August shipment, though the website says the $225 balance bike is out of stock and doesn’t provide an option to pre-order. You can sign up for an email notification when the bike is back in stock, however.
