Rivian Automotive’s spinoff brand ALSO Inc. revealed its starting lineup of three different electric vehicles on Wednesday.
Its flagship vehicle is the TM-B electric bike with a portal digital touchscreen display and an integrated security system, similar to the features found in Rivian vehicles. The startup will also debut two electric quad bikes known as TM-Qs. One will be geared toward commercial clients and businesses, slated to launch in 2026. The second and smaller TM-Q is marketed for everyday consumers.
“These vehicles will be pedal-assisted and designed for bike lanes, while being able to carry significant loads,” the company said.
ALSO, which became a standalone brand in March with Irvine’s Rivian as a minority shareholder, developed a helmet to go with the EVs as well. The spinoff is also collaborating with Amazon to create a customized pedal-assist e-cargo quad for the e-commerce giant.
“ALSO was created to develop technology and products that challenge existing expectations for what is possible in form factors smaller than a car or truck,” Rivian founder and chief executive RJ Scaringe said in a statement.
“Our vision is to bring together the latest technology with fun, thoughtful design to create small EVs that inspire people to adopt these more efficient modes,” ALSO President Chris Yu said.
