Elon Musk confirmed the targeted timing of the release of the Tesla Cyberquad, an electric ATV designed to work with the Cybertruck, and hinted that an electric dirt bike could also be a possibility.
At the end of the Cybertruck unveiling last month,Tesla brought on stage an electric ATV made by its design team.
The vehicle, called Tesla Cyberquad, was used to demonstrate the loading capacity of the Cybertruck, which can lower its rear suspension to accommodate easier loading of a vehicle on a ramp to the bed of electric pickup truck.

It’s clear that Elon is reticent in making an electric motorcycle for the road, but an electric dirt bike gets really close to that.
The barrier of entry is much lower due to fewer regulations, but owners could also attempt to make it road legal with aftermarket modifications.
I am not saying that it’s going to happen, but if Tesla is designing an electric ATV, the company is not that far from the possibility.
