Rivian spinoff Also to start delivering e-bikes after months of delays
Also has big plans beyond the TM-B. The startup mostly refers to itself as a "vehicle" company, and has plans to make four-wheel pedal-assist cargo vehicles for Amazon.
Rivian spinoff Also is finally set to start delivering its e-bikes, the TM-B, after months of delays. This development is significant as it marks a crucial milestone for the company, which has been shrouded in anticipation. As a spinoff of Rivian, Also has inherited some of its parent company's innovative DNA, and its foray into the e-bike market is an interesting move.
The e-bike market has been gaining traction in recent years, driven by growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation options. Also's entry into this market is likely to shake things up, given its association with Rivian and its own ambitious plans. The company's focus on creating a range of "vehicles" suggests that it's thinking beyond traditional e-bikes and is exploring new product categories.
What's worth watching next is how Also's four-wheel pedal-assist cargo vehicles for Amazon pan out. This partnership has the potential to disrupt the logistics and delivery industry, which is increasingly looking for greener solutions. As the e-bike and sustainable transportation markets continue to evolve, Also's progress and innovations will be worth keeping an eye on, particularly in terms of its ability to scale and execute on its ambitious plans.
