We know Rivian as a high-end electric vehicle producer. But how many of you know that the company created a spinoff micromobility brand called Also, which makes e-bikes? I tip my hat to those of you who knew about Also. However, I know you don't know how much the first bikes from Also will cost; otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this.
As reported by our colleagues at InsideEVs, the entry-level model, called the TM-B, costs $3,500 and will go on sale in 2026. The only way to get an e-bike from the brand sooner is to get one of the Launch or Performance models, which go on sale next spring and in mid-2026, respectively. But both have an MSRP of $4,500, so if you can wait a while longer and want to save $1,000, here's what you get.
The entry-level TM-B offers 5x pedaling assistance, so you'll have five times the pushing power, and that's more than any other e-bike currently on sale. At 60 miles, the range is nothing to turn your nose up at either, especially when you consider that you can swap out the battery pack for a larger one that'll give you a 100-mile range should you decide you need it.
It's important to note that this will be a Class 3 e-bike, so the TM-B will go 28 mph while a rider pedals or 20 mph when just using the throttle, and it should get up to that speed fairly quickly, considering its industry-leading torque figure of 132 lb-ft. But if you want the best of the best and don't mind forking out $4,500, there's plenty more available.
The Launch Edition and Performance models both multiply your pedaling effort by up to 10x and come with the larger battery pre-installed, so they have a range of up to 100 miles. While the TM-B has an air shock and coil fork for suspension, the other two, more premium models, have air suspension all around. Finally, while the MT-B is clean looking, it is a bit basic, whereas the top-tier bikes have funky transparent covers that let you see the internals of the motor.
All three models come with a sleek circular touchscreen, internet connectivity, and the ability to download deep software updates over the air. Would you ever be seen on an Also? Are they worth the money or are these models too over the top?
