TM-B: Revolutionizing Electric Micromobility for Modern Urban Riders

Rivian’s engineering team set out with a clear mission when developing their latest electric micromobility solution: to internally design every critical component. This hands-on approach, championed by Rivian’s CEO RJ Scaringe, ensures uncompromised quality and fosters groundbreaking innovation throughout the vehicle.

A Multifaceted micromobility Platform Beyond Conventional E-Bikes

The TM-B emerges not just as an electric bike but as a versatile foundation for an expanding lineup of urban mobility devices. Revealed recently in Oakland, this pedal-assist e-bike is accompanied by two new quad models tailored for cargo transport and city logistics-one of which is slated to join Amazon’s delivery fleet. This strategic diversification highlights the TM-B’s role as more than a single product; it’s a platform designed to meet varied urban transportation needs.

At first glance, the TM-B impresses with its streamlined silhouette and understated elegance. Chris Yu, president of Also, points out that beneath its minimalist exterior lies a suite of innovative features that distinguish it from typical e-bikes flooding today’s market.

Customized Trim Levels Catering to Diverse Rider Preferences

• Launch Edition: Boasting an estimated 100-mile battery range and 10 levels of pedal assist,this trim includes air suspension forks and shocks plus dual ride modes featuring an energizing “sport” setting. Priced at $4,500 with exclusive purple ube and blue finishes available this spring.
• Performance Trim: Mirroring the Launch Edition’s technical specs but scheduled for early 2026 release at $4,500.
• Base Model: Offering up to 60 miles per charge with five assist levels; equipped with front air shock suspension paired with rear coil fork; single standard ride mode; expected under $4,000 arriving mid-2026.

Sleek Design Meets Practical Urban Features

The TM-B integrates front and rear LED lighting complete with turn signals while adhering strictly to urban speed limits capped at 20 mph. Its innovative Biomotion lighting system enhances rider visibility by illuminating legs during pedaling-a crucial safety upgrade in busy city environments. The bike rides on robust 24-inch wheels but allows customization through tire or pedal swaps optimized for off-road excursions via its trail ride mode offering enhanced manual control.

A notable highlight is the removable battery pack capable of USB-C fast charging up to 240 watts-enabling rapid recharging on-the-go while powering external gadgets such as smartphones or GPS devices during rides.

An Smart Security Suite protecting Your Ride

The TM-B comes equipped with advanced security protocols that automatically engage when left unattended: locking wheels and batteries while sending instant alerts via the Also app if tampering is detected. An integrated loud alarm activates upon unauthorized movement-serving both as deterrent against theft and immediate notification in crowded urban settings.

“If someone tries moving or stealing your bike without permission,” explained Yu during demonstrations,” you receive real-time alerts thanks to LTE connectivity combined with precise GPS tracking.”

If theft occurs or if the bike is forcibly relocated into another vehicle scenario arises-the owner can remotely disable all electronic functions (“brick” the device), rendering every component unusable since Also maintains full firmware control across all hardware developed entirely in-house by their engineering teams.

Beneath The Surface: Innovative Technology Driving Efficiency

The propulsion system-including refined software algorithms managing pedal-by-wire mechanics-is fully engineered internally without any mechanical linkage between pedaling input and wheel rotation. This design enables regenerative braking where kinetic energy converts back into stored electrical energy extending overall range efficiency-a feature increasingly vital amid global micromobility markets projected to expand over 22% annually through 2030 according to recent industry analyses.

• A central touchscreen display mounted between handlebars offers intuitive navigation assistance synchronized precisely using real-time data about rider speed and load conditions ensuring accurate ETAs customized per trip dynamics;
• An innovative modular frame architecture allows rapid switching among solo seats, bench seating options optimized for passengers or cargo racks-all interchangeable within seconds without tools;
• User profiles seamlessly sync via onboard software adapting interface settings based on selected configurations enhancing personalized riding experiences;
