Can’t afford a Tesla Cybertruck? Here comes the ATV version!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tesla<\/a> originally came up with the Cyberquad as a prop used to demonstrate the boot capacity of the Cybertruck<\/a> during the reveal. Nonetheless, the Cyberquad created a lot of buzz on its own too mostly because its design, as described by Elon Musk himself, is literally based on the Cybertruck itself.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the uncertainty around the Cyberquad being released or not lead to people building DIY Cyberquad prototypes. The credit for one of the best builds belongs to a two-person team from Rich Rebuilds, Rich Beniot, and Steven Salowsky, who spent nearly 300 hours to create their own Cyberquad.<\/p>\n

Clocking a top speed of 102.5 mph, Rich Rebuilds’ ATV already proved that it’s a touch above the rest.<\/p>\n

To kick-start the project, the duo started by purchasing a 2008 Yamaha Raptor 700 ATV along with spare parts from Zero Motorcycles bikes.<\/p>\n

As stated by the duo, they initially planned to make an all-electric ATV. However, the pair changed their mind and decided that the DIY project should actually look like the Tesla Cyberquad. A sort of a replica, if you like. The result, as they say, is more than satisfying.<\/p>\n

Apart from the insane top speed, the Cyberquad replica is also insanely quick with a 0-60mph time of only 3.9 seconds! Sure, that’s slower than Tesla’s most powerful models, but it’s relatively fast for an ATV.<\/p>\n

Musk confirmed that the original Cyberquad would eventually be made available but only as an optional add-on with the upcoming Cybertruck. So if you planned to console yourself of not being able to afford a Cybertruck by buying a Cyberquad instead, you might need to build your own.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s futuristic truck will have a charging port for the Cyberquad, which means you can charge it on the go. Additionally, expect a few changes in Tesla’s original release as compared to this DIY version.<\/p>\n

As of now, the prospect of owning an all-electric ATV sounds fun, and Rich Rebuilds’ model sure proves to be worthy of the hype that it created.<\/p>\n
