Rivian Leaps into Two-Wheeled Freedom with the ALSO TM-B E-Bike

Rivian has a talent for creating cars that draw attention, but now, with its spin-off In addition, the company has used that same quiet confidence to work on something more low-key: the ALSO TM-B electric bike. And, let’s be honest, this is a machine that is intended to integrate into people’s daily lives – the kind of thing you would use to go for a quick trip to the grocery store.

ALSO took the TM-B directly from Rivian’s engineering playbook, but scaled it down for shorter rides on city streets and dirt roads alike. The frame begins as a single piece of aluminum alloy, but it then features adjustable seats and minor adjustments to the posture to accommodate riders of various shapes and sizes. A detachable battery is located at the base, with options for 538 watt-hours for a reasonable 60 miles or 808 for a complete 100 miles. Simply take it off, plug it in via USB-C, or put it in a bag and use it to charge your phone on the go – that kind of versatility means you don’t have to deal with a dead ride halfway home.

The power comes from ALSO’s DreamRide system, which uses software instead of traditional chains and cogs to do the hard work. Give it a pedal, and your exertion will start the generator, charging the battery as the electric motors keep you moving. With a little throttle, you can reach speeds of up to 20 mph; add pedalling and you can reach 28 mph. If you run out of juice, it will go into limp mode, allowing you to travel home safely. In terms of controls, you may let the software match your rhythm or manually use virtual gears if you’re feeling fancy. Don’t even get me started on the brakes, which do double duty by charging the battery as you slow down, much like an electric SUV.


Customization is extensive here; you can start by playing with the seat. Pressing a button on the dash releases the latch, eliminating the need for a tool. Swap in a conventional seat for a speedy commute or a more tough trail setting, a bench for two people, or a padded slab with enough storage room to take 77 pounds of groceries, kids’ gear, or whatever else you need. So it can be a rolling utility van one day and a lean commuter the next. Up front, you have a 120-millimeter air fork that can soak up potholes and debris, keeping the ride stable even when you give it some stick on difficult terrain.


The 5-inch round screen, which glows brightly in the sun, makes controls feel natural from the start, and the bezel can be twisted to choose between maps, music, or incoming calls. Buttons cluster on the bars: one to stop a song or answer the phone, a wheel to change volume, and a toggle that rings like a bell (or blows an air horn in future updates). Security also has your back, with a chip that locks the wheels, frame, and battery in place as soon as you walk away. If someone messes with it, you’ll receive a ping on your phone, and you may remotely shut it down from a distance. Also comes with a unique lock from a professional craftsman, because even the smartest bike requires a chain while parked.


Prices are reasonable for what you get, starting with the Limited Launch Edition,which costs $4,500 and features a larger battery, sport modes, as well as purple highlights. Match it with the Performance model and change the colors for a fresh design, both available by mid-2026. If you choose the base model, which costs less than $4,000, you will receive a lesser pack and standard help later that year. Reserve any with a $50 deposit and finance with Chase like you would a car payment. Safety certifications will be finished soon, and deliveries will start next spring. See one in person at a Rivian location before the end of the year.



And they didn’t stop with two wheels. ALSO introduced a pair of pedal-assisted quads under the TM-Q label, one for family hauls and the other for deliveries, both of which are bike lane authorized. Amazon has partnered and is branding a fleet for city drops. Consumer versions will arrive in 2026, capable of carrying 250 pounds without breaking a sweat. These allow for quieter routes where a speedy quad can slip by traffic with freight in tow.
