Rivian’s futuristic e-bike is delayed, and customers are not happy.
Last year, Rivian’s micromobility spinoff Also unveiled a new, software-controlled electric bike called the TM-B that immediately set the e-bike world ablaze. With USB-C chargeable battery, removable seat post, and software-controlled pedal-by-wire system, the TM-B set itself apart with a totally unique approach to electric bicycle design. It’s not an exaggeration to say that nothing else looked like this bike.
But that list of high-tech features is creating unexpected bottlenecks for Also’s product team. The company had originally said customer deliveries would start in spring 2026, and then later summer. But now, with fall approaching, the TM-B has yet to reach any customers — and several reservation holders are making their frustrations with the delays known on Reddit.
