Tesla is launching another vehicle without a steering wheel.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the electric automaker released a Tesla-branded, $225, pedal-less bike for toddlers. It’s called the Balance Bike for Kids.<\/p>\n

For Tesla, the kid’s product offers parents a more attainable entry point into that miniature Tesla ecosystem \u2014 but it isn’t cheap.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s version is more expensive than many entry-level options, which typically cost between $50 and $120. Its price is comparable to some higher-end children’s bikes, like the $250 Woom Go or the $249 Guardian Balance Bike.<\/p>\n

Balance bikes are designed to help young children learn how to steer and balance before graduating to a traditional pedal bicycle.<\/p>\n

The company says the push bike has five adjustable seat heights, a maximum weight limit of about 77 pounds, and a recommended age range of two to five. Shipping is set to begin in late August, and the website lists the product as out of stock.<\/p>\n

Tesla has been launching more products built for customers who are several years away from taking out their own vehicle loans. The company already sells a $1,500 ride-on Cybertruck for kids, a $1,650 Cyberquad, children’s clothes, and an Optimus action figure.<\/p>\n

On X, several people joked about Tesla launching a small bike before delivering the long-awaited second-generation Roadster. The electric hypercar, which CEO Elon Musk announced in 2017, has faced repeated delays, even though customers have put down deposits of $50,000 to $250,000.<\/p>\n

“Tesla made a children’s bike before Roadster 2,” one wrote.<\/p>\n

Tesla didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.<\/p>\n
