On December 2, 2021, Tesla released a very hardcore “children’s vehicle” on its US official website store. The design of the vehicle’s appearance draws on the design style of Cybertruck, and is named “Cyberquad for Kids”, priced at $1,900 (approximately RMB 12,000).
This mini four-wheeled ATV (all-terrain vehicle) is equipped with a full steel frame, cushioned seats, rear disc brakes, LED light bars, and adjustable suspension. The product will begin shipping within 2-4 weeks. However, Las Vegas, Alaska, and Puerto Rico are excluded from the shipping range, and it may not be delivered before Christmas.
“Cyberquad for Kids” is powered by a lithium-ion battery with a range of up to 15 miles (24.14 km) and a maximum speed of two gears, limited to 5 and 10 miles/hour (16.09 km/h), suitable for children who are 8 years and older and weigh less than 150 pounds (68 kg).
For comparison, a certain brand of go-kart in China with a branded joint modification kit and sound wave has a range of 25 km and a top speed of up to 40 km/h, priced at around 9,000 yuan.
It is worth noting that in the official promotional video, Tesla design guru Franz von Holzhause (yes, the one who hit the glass) appeared riding the Cyberquad for Kids at the beginning, but in subsequent shots, he rode a larger version!
It seems that there is a probability of a standard-sized adult version appearing. If the standard version appears in China, would Tesla fans and outdoor enthusiasts consider buying it?
