Tesla really should take over the electric bicycle market. I'd be a musk convert then. But seeing the Cyber Truck, I just can't see that as a real future for our cities.


I'm not sure what value Tesla could add to ebikes (or full-speed motorbikes) besides the cachet they'd bring as a name-brand business - like autopilot wouldn't be a thing. There are zillions of commodity manufacturers building eBikes, what can Tesla add to that?

The only big advantage I could see is their charging infrastructure.


They could include the in the EV narative. Right now, they are creating and EV future that's got bad quality expensive cars.

If they worked hard on the Bikes, they may be able to ameliorate some of the issues around modern day commuting.
