Watch Tesla Cyberquad DIY electric ATV go 100 mph

A bunch of maniacs constructed their very own model of the Tesla Cyberquad electrical ATV and examined it at over 100 mph.

When Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck final yr, CEO Elon Musk had a bit of “another factor” second on stage once they introduced the Tesla Cyberquad, an electric ATV, to indicate the loading capability of Cybertruck’s mattress.

On the time, it wasn’t clear whether or not Tesla deliberate on making the electrical ATV out there, however Musk later confirmed that it will be an option for Cybertruck buyers.

Some folks can’t watch for Tesla to make it a actuality, and just like the Cybertruck, it sparked a number of DIY tasks to aim to construct their very own Tesla Cyberquad.

Undoubtedly the very best we now have seen thus far comes from the blokes at Wealthy Rebuilds, who simply accomplished their Cyberquad construct:

They mainly constructed the identical prototype that Tesla put collectively for the Cybertruck launch.

Tesla is probably going going to do one thing completely different for the manufacturing model, however based mostly on what we now have seen from the revealing, it appears like Tesla used a Yamaha Raptor ATV and transformed it to electrical with what seems to be a Zero Motorbike electrical motor.

Wealthy Benoit and Steven Salowsky from Wealthy Rebuilds already had expertise with doing electrical conversions utilizing a Zero Motorbike powertrain.

They purchased a 2008 Yamaha Raptor 700 ATV and salvaged components from Zero Bikes bikes to get the mission began.

At first Benoit needed to only convert the Raptor with the electrical powertrain, however Salowsky took on the formidable job to make the physique appear like the Tesla Cyberquad physique.

The staff wrote in a electronic mail to Electrek:

They have been going to only convert it, then Steven provided to design it to duplicate the Tesla Cyberquad. It began out as origami to create a way of scale to the items, after which Wealthy had wired the bike up with its new zero motor powertrain and welded the brand new drive unit to the rear, and Steven restructured a brand new aluminum trestle body onto the prevailing quad body, after which shaped and minimize the brand new physique.

About 300 hours later, they’d their very own Tesla Cyberquad electrical ATV.

As you may see within the video above, they’re reaching some insane efficiency with the automobile.

They’re going from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, a lot quicker than the unique Raptor’s 5.4 seconds, and they’re reaching a a lot increased high velocity of 102.5 mph.

Please don’t do that at residence.
