The kids’ version of the Tesla Cyberquad is making a comeback after its initial launch in 2021 and recall due to not meeting Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. Made by Radio Flyer, the 106-year-old company known for its iconic red wagons, the children’s ride with Cybertruck stylings is now set to begin shipping later this month after meeting all CPSC requirements. The updated Cyberquad for Kids, Model 915, replaces the recalled Model 914 that quickly sold out nearly two years ago.
Radio Flyer’s CEO, Robert Pasin, expressed excitement about the relaunch of the Cyberquad for Kids, stating, “We’re thrilled to announce the official relaunch of the Cyberquad for Kids by Radio Flyer, a product we have been working to enhance for the last two years.” The CPSC had claimed that Model 914 violated ATV federal safety standards for youths and had an inadequate mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure, among other issues. The government agency reported that around 5,000 units of the older model had been sold before it was pulled.
The safety updates to Model 915 include the replacement of the rear spring with a steel tube with rubber-coated metal inserts that secures the rear frame to the main frame, an updated age range of nine to 12 years old, a tire inflation warning label, and another revised warning stating it isn’t an ATV or intended for off-road use.
The ride-on toy still features a 500-watt motor with a max speed of 10 mph, an estimated 15 miles of range, and an LED headlight and taillight mimicking the Cybertruck. It includes a steel frame, high-pressure rubber air tires, and a 36V Radio Flyer battery that provides the best performance with a lower impact on the environment, along with the longest run time and fastest recharge time compared to other products on the market.
While Tesla’s involvement in the project has been described as limited primarily to sales and the vehicle’s appearance, the updated Cyberquad for Kids is available exclusively on its website, along with other kid-friendly Tesla models. The Cyberquad ride-on toy is now available for $1,900, and orders will begin shipping in late November.
The re-launch of the Cyberquad for Kids demonstrates Radio Flyer’s commitment to providing safe and innovative products for children. With the enhanced safety features and modern design inspired by the Cybertruck, children now have the opportunity to experience the thrill of riding their very own Tesla-inspired electric vehicle.
Families can now enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their children can ride the Cyberquad safely, thanks to the compliance with CPSC standards and the safety updates implemented by Radio Flyer. With the inclusion of the LED headlight and taillight, children can experience an authentic Tesla-like driving experience, all while being powered by a high-performance 36V battery.
The availability of the Cyberquad for Kids exclusively on the Tesla website adds to the allure of this sought-after ride-on toy. With the Cyberquad being one of the hottest toys in the market right now, it’s no wonder that the anticipation for this re-launch is extremely high.
As the year draws to a close, the re-introduction of the Cyberquad for Kids by Radio Flyer has sparked excitement among parents and children alike, offering a fun and safe way to explore the outdoors. This modern take on a classic ride-on toy truly brings the allure of a Tesla vehicle to the younger generation, fostering an early appreciation for electric vehicles and sustainable transportation. With the holidays just around the corner, the Cyberquad for Kids is poised to be a popular gift choice for children who dream of taking the wheel of their very own electric vehicle.
