- Rivian spinoff company Also is set to deliver its first e-bikes this week,TechCrunchreported.
- The TM-B, Also's debut product, starts at $3,500.
- The company says Launch Edition bikes will be delivered between this week and the middle of September.
The wait is almost over for Also's TM-B electric bike. The micromobility startup plans to deliver its first e-bikes this week, the company toldTechCrunchon Friday.
When Also first revealed its bike last October—when I got to sample one—the company said the Launch Edition bikes would begin shipping in the spring of 2026. A post on the company's website from a couple of months ago spotted byTechCrunchlays out the reason behind the delay.
"The primary factor driving our updated summer timeline is current stress on global supply chains. A rapid, industry-wide spike in demand for raw materials and electronic components has impacted key parts required for the TM-B. This has temporarily delayed our planned manufacturing ramp-up and pushed our first delivery dates past our original spring window," the post reads.
Also TM-B E-bike
An Also spokesperson confirmed to InsideEVs that customer deliveries will begin "in the next week."
To make up for the wait, Also is throwing in one of its high-tech Alpha Wave helmets for buyers of the Launch Edition TM-B. And it is giving them a $250 credit to spend on accessories.
Also TM-B E-bike
Also, which started as a project within Rivian, is trying to bring the same high-tech, polished feel of Rivians and Teslas to the world of smaller vehicles. Its first product is the TM-B e-bike, which costs $4,500 for the Launch Edition and comes with a novel pedal-by-wire system. As the rider pedals, they spin a generator that communicates with the motor—there's no mechanical connection between your feet and the wheels. The company also touts the bike's slick user interface, over-the-air software updates, and modular design that lets customers swap in different seats and cargo racks. An upcoming base-model TM-B will start from $3,500.
The company is also making moves beyond e-bikes. It has announced plans to build a four-wheeled micro van for delivery companies like Amazon, plus autonomous delivery robots for DoorDash.
