When you think of an electric car, one of the first things that comes to mind is almost certainly a Tesla. Could this also be the case with electric bikes? According to the interview by Kara Swisher for the platform Recode Decode, Elon Musk says succinctly: "Electric bike. I think we might do an electric bike, yeah". This was preceded by the question of whether Musk's company would build an electric scooter. The e-car pioneer answered in the negative and pointedly attested to the "lack of dignity" of e-scooter riders.

Maybe it's not a bad idea for Tesla to build e-bikes, especially in the USA. The e-bike trend is only just gaining momentum there, and two-wheeled e-mobility is several years behind Europe. The Trump administration is also currently imposing 25% tariffs on imported Chinese e-bikes. It could therefore now be interesting for Tesla to enter this market and manufacture e-bikes in the USA.
