They tapped Rivian VP Chris Yu to lead the new company, called Also, who teased what they were working on: &#8220;What we&#8217;re building is easy, intuitive, and tech-enabled in all the right ways,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;It&#8217;s a joy in the most childlike sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now they&#8217;ve pulled the sheets off. Also is a mobility company designing electric sub-car vehicles &#8220;to rethink how we get around in today&#8217;s world,&#8221; starting with this <a href=\"https:\/\/ridealso.com\/products\/tm-b\">TM-B,<\/a> a modular e-bike. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The heart of the bike is this DreamRide drive system, containing the motor and the battery. When you pedal, you&#8217;re not driving a chain, but are instead driving a generator. The motor then drives the rear wheel via a belt.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The battery is &#8220;vehicle-grade,&#8221; the company says, meaning its quality, safety and engineering standards match what you&#8217;d find in an EV (the regulations for e-bike batteries are considerably less stringent). The 1 kWH battery can be popped out for charging or to use as a powerbank.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As for the modular part: The seatpost\u2014which they&#8217;re referring to as the &#8220;top frame&#8221;&#8211;can be popped off of the bike, and you can swap in different ones for different applications. At present they offer a standard Solo frame, a Utility frame for carrying stuff and a Bench frame for carrying a passenger.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Both wheels feature full suspensions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The front and rear LED lights are decidedly Rivian-like.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a 5&#8243; touchscreen that can be used for navigation or to display riding data.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The bike is said to have a range of 60 to 100 miles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re currently taking pre-orders for the $4,500 bike and say it will ship in spring 2026. <\/p>\n<p><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"at_end\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rivian has a skunkworks, and earlier this year they created something so potentially impactful that they created a spin-off to bring it to market.
