Electric Quadricycle Will Cost Around US$ 1,900

According to data, Tesla’s electric quadricycle is aimed at children aged 8 and up, considering it has a certain speed and height. However, buying this “toy” can be quite expensive for parents, as the new electric model costs around US$ 1,900.

In direct conversion, this amount is equivalent to R$ 11,000. The electric quadricycle was created by Tesla in partnership with Radio Flyer and thus features a unique and innovative design.

The vehicle consists of a steel frame, with LED lights for the rear light and headlight, a cushioned seat, and an adjustable suspension. Additionally, it has 16-inch tires in the front and 14-inch tires in the rear, including a disc brake.

Tesla’s New Quadricycle Model Has a Range of 24 Km

According to Tesla, the model is fully electric and can be used on all types of terrain. For this purpose, it is equipped with a removable 36V lithium-ion battery, which offers the vehicle a range of 24 km.

The maximum speed is 16 km/h. However, to ensure safety, parents can adjust the speed, which can be reduced to 8 km/h. According to information from Tesla’s website, the battery requires at least 5 hours to fully recharge.

It is worth noting that, so far, the electric quadricycle is only for sale in the United States, so there is no information on whether Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar company will open markets in other countries, even though that would be an interesting proposal.

Is Tesla Entering The World of Electric Motorcycles?

Until recently, the chances of the automaker entering the electric motorcycle market were minimal; however, it seems that intentions have changed recently. In September, Ash Thorp, a designer from the automaker, shared images on his social media of an electric motorcycle reminiscent of the Cybertruck.

The electric motorcycle, The Sokudo, stands out; however, it highlights the designer’s limited familiarity with Tesla. The vehicle resembles an electric motorcycle being unwrapped from a gift box, which appears to have been constructed from aluminum with a carbon fiber finish.

Apparently, sitting on this motorcycle may be uncomfortable, considering that the seat seems to be made of a hard aluminum platform.
