Rivian spinoff Also to start delivering e-bikes after months of delays
Rivian spinoff Also is set to begin deliveries of its TM-B e-bike next week following months of supply chain-related delays. The company, which has received backing from Eclipse, plans to expand into cargo and autonomous delivery vehicles in the future.
Why it matters
This marks a significant milestone for a high-profile startup attempting to bridge the gap between consumer electric mobility and commercial logistics.
Rivian spinoff Also will finally start delivering its first e-bikes to customers next week, after months of delays related to unspecified supply chain issues.
The company told TechCrunch on Friday that the Launch Edition of its TM-B e-bike, which retails for $4,500, has started shipping from its manufacturer to its warehouse in the U.S. Also said it expects to deliver all Launch Edition bikes between next week and September.
Also began as a skunkworks project inside Rivian in 2022, after CEO RJ Scaringe started looking into making an e-bike to complement his portfolio of electric vehicles for the outdoorsy set. The company spent a few years tinkering with the idea, and even hired Jony Ive’s design firm LoveFrom to help with an early design, as TechCrunch first reported in 2025.
