TESLA

The electric bike of Elon Musk

The CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Boring Company, Elon Musk, has already accustomed us to expect the unexpected. And it appears that after the rockets, tunnels and electric cars, the South African entrepreneur is determined to bet on electric bicycles. This may even be the least surprising product coming from him and his companies, since bicycle and electric scooters are seen by all as an extension of the electric car for shorter journeys.Musk does not invent anything, at least until now and this if we discount PayPal, which earned him millions. What the entrepreneur, who lives in California, is good is to take a certain solution and improve it, innovating (there, yes) in the way it works or is produced. It was the case of SpaceX rockets, devices that had been around for a long time, but that the Musk company made it simpler, more efficient and cheaper, by being able to innovate by recovering the tanks with their engines, a success that has been repeated (or will it?). with 


SolarCity roofing panels, The Boring Companhy tunnels undergoing testing, and electric vehicles that even Tesla came up with were not appealing, quick, luxurious, or desirable.In a recent interview with Recara Decode, with Kara Swisher, Elon Musk started by uncorking on electric scooters, those in the service of Lime (who have some tendency to catch fire) and Bird (not yet available in Portugal). Apparently, the CEO of Tesla does not find them sexy and much less dignified. But when the talk was about two-wheeled electric vehicles, Musk declared himself a fan of "two-wheeled electric vehicles," preferring bicycles. Especially when he said: "Electric bike, I think we might an electric bike, yeah."


With the ascendant that Tesla has on the market, an electric bicycle brand will always be the news. But Musk does not just want to produce an electric bike, he wants to design "the" electric bicycle. One in which he, or Tesla, can display all its technological potential, battery and power management systems.With Tesla not revealing anything about what might turn out to be its powered or backed-up bike, we turn to the market to look for the boldest two-wheeled electric vehicle, and therefore the one that will most likely come close to a proposal with the stamp of Tesla. And the brilliant designer Kendall Toerner has given us great help with his exciting projects.
