Rivian's young talent ALSO has created something that's not just a bike, but a true technological symphony with the TM-B e-bike. With bold aesthetics, modular design, and automotive pedigree, it's a machine that will delight everyone from urban commuters to adventurous souls.
Imagine taking everything that is Rivian did with its electric trucks – bold innovation, rugged aesthetics and technological wizardry – and squeeze it into an e-bike. The result? ALSO TM-B, an electric bike that's not just a means of transportation, but a statement about how far two-wheeled mobility can go. If you think e-bikes are boring, the TM-B will make you think again. With a pedal-by-wire system, modular design, and a cockpit that could grace a spaceship, this is a bike you can't ignore. Get ready for a ride that's full of power, style, and a touch of irony—because let's be honest, who needs a car when you've got this?
Pedal-by-wire: The future is here
DreamRide – when pedals become magic
The heart of TM-B is its DreamRide pedal-by-wire system, which turns everything you thought you knew about cycling on its head. Instead of the classic mechanical connection between the pedals and the rear wheel, here the pedals are powered by a generator that charges the battery, while a separate motor with a Gates Carbon belt drives the rear wheel. Sounds complicated? Maybe, but in practice it's pure poetry. With 10 levels of assistance - from automatic to manual - the ride is so intuitive that it feels like the bike is reading your mind. And with power up to 182 Nm (134 lb-ft) of torque, you can conquer even the steepest slope without breaking a sweat.
Breathtaking specifications
- Top speed: 45 km/h (28 mph) with pedal assistance, 32 km/h (20 mph) with throttle only.
- Reach: 96 to 160 km (60–100 miles), depending on battery configuration.
- Battery: You can choose between 538 Wh or 808 Wh removable batteries that charge via USB-C at speeds 240 W.
- Suspension: 120 mm of travel at the front and an air shock absorber at the rear for a smooth ride on all terrains.
- Brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes with regenerative system and ABS.
- Carrying capacity: Until 147 kg (324 lbs), which means you can load everything from shopping to camping equipment onto your bike.
The specs are impressive, but the real magic happens when you get on the bike. Regenerative braking can extend your range by as much as 25 %, meaning you can go further without having to look for a power outlet. And if the battery runs out? Simply detach it and use it as a portable charger for your devices. Practical, right?
Modularity that adapts to your life
From city traveler to freight mule
The TM-B is not just a bike – it’s a chameleon. Thanks to modular seating system you can adjust it to your needs without tools. Need a comfortable seat for your daily commute? You've got it. Want cargo racks for your weekend shopping? No problem. Or maybe a motorcycle seat for that cool pose? The TM-B can do it. This flexibility means the bike isn't just for one type of rider, but for anyone who wants freedom on two wheels.
A cockpit that would make Tony Stark jealous
Instead of a classic phone holder, the TM-B offers 5-inch round touchscreen with a rotating bezel reminiscent of the dashboard of a luxury car. Navigation, driving data and even safety features like an automatic alarm are just a touch away. While some might say this might be a bit excessive for a bike, it is precisely this audacity that makes the TM-B so special. Who needs a smartphone when you have a smart bike?
Rivian DNA: Automotive Soul in Bike Form
ALSO is not just Rivian's offshoot – it's an extension of their vision. Just like Rivian's electric trucks, TM-B is also betting on vertical integration, proprietary drives and software that makes riding intuitive. Partnering with Rivian service means you have access to trained technicians, which is rare in the e-bike world. And then there's Alpha Wave helmet, which takes safety and comfort to a new level with rotational impact protection technology, built-in audio, and noise-canceling microphones.
Rivian’s story began with a vision of sustainable mobility, and the TM-B continues that legacy. Even though it’s an e-bike, it feels like it escaped from an electric car lab—and that’s actually a compliment.
Conclusion: A bike that pushes boundaries
The ALSO TM-B is not just an e-bike; it is proof that two-wheeled mobility can combine power, style and innovation. With its pedal-by-wire technology, modular design and automotive approach to design, this is a bike that doesn't follow trends - it creates them. For $4,500 (or less than $4,000 for the base model, coming later in 2026) you get a machine that's equally at home on city streets as it is on country trails.
Is the TM-B perfect? Maybe not—there’s no weight listed, which might suggest a rugged build that’s not for everyone. But once you get on it, you feel that Rivian spirit: a boldness that says the future isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you ride. If you’re looking for an e-bike that’s more than just a means of transportation, the TM-B is worth every penny. And maybe an extra one, just for that screen that could guide the spaceship.
