RIVIAN'S ALSO E-BIKE IS THE COOLEST E-BIKE I'VE EVER SEEN

EV Channels Review

The ALSO TM-B e-bike, born from Rivian's innovation, is presented as a groundbreaking leap in personal electric mobility. The reviewer is overwhelmingly impressed, highlighting its "Rivian-like" design cues, particularly the distinctive headlight and integrated lighting. Key technological advancements include a unique "pedal-by-wire" system with dual motors, eliminating mechanical connection between pedals and wheels for a seamless, intuitive ride, and a sophisticated, car-grade infotainment system with over-the-air update capabilities. The modular design, allowing for quick swapping of seat/cargo configurations, and the removable battery, which doubles as a portable power bank using Rivian R1 cells, are also lauded. Riding impressions are exceptionally positive, with praise for its 28 mph top speed (Class 3), strong torque, smooth power delivery mimicking a CVT, and effective regenerative and hydraulic disc braking. The dual suspension ensures a comfortable ride, absorbing bumps effectively. Priced competitively between $4,000-$4,500 for the launch edition, the TM-B is seen as a significant value proposition despite the inherent risks in the e-bike startup market.
