Also, Rivian Spin‑off Launches E‑Bike Deliveries After Delays

Rivian’s newly formed spin‑off, Also, has finally started shipping its first electric bicycles after a series of months‑long delays. The flagship model, called TM‑B, is marketed as a lightweight, fast and eco‑friendly solution for urban commuters. Production setbacks, supply‑chain hiccups and regulatory approvals pushed the launch back, but the company says the bikes now meet the promised range and performance targets, allowing it to enter the market with confidence.

Beyond the two‑wheel offering, Also positions itself as a broader “vehicle” company. Its roadmap includes the development of four‑wheel pedal‑assist cargo vehicles designed specifically for large logistics operators such as Amazon. These trucks aim to combine the efficiency of electric propulsion with the added power of pedal assistance, reducing battery drain while still delivering substantial payload capacity.

The engineering team behind the cargo trucks is focusing on robust frames, high load ratings and integrated smart‑control systems. By allowing drivers to contribute a modest amount of pedaling effort, the vehicles can extend their operational range and cut energy consumption, making them ideal for short‑haul, city‑center deliveries.

Amazon has already expressed interest in piloting these vehicles in a handful of metropolitan areas next year. If the trials prove successful, the partnership could scale quickly, providing a greener alternative to traditional delivery vans. At the same time, the simultaneous rollout of e‑bikes and pedal‑assist cargo trucks creates a flexible, multi‑modal logistics ecosystem that could reshape last‑mile delivery.

Also’s dual‑track strategy—targeting both consumer e‑bike buyers and corporate freight customers—signals an ambition to become a key player in the evolving landscape of sustainable transportation. With shipments now underway and ambitious cargo‑vehicle plans on the horizon, the company is poised to make a notable impact on both personal mobility and commercial logistics.
