Rivian spun out a micromobility startup earlier this year. It's called Also.
Also revealed its first products last month, including the TM-B e-bike.
The innovating TM-B goes on sale next year.

I was super impressed when I checked out the Also TM-B last month.

After the e-bike's launch, the big question left unanswered about the first product out of Rivian's micromobility spinoff was how much the future base model would cost. The Launch edition is available to preorder now for $4,500. Also President Chris Yu told me the entry model would be "under $4,000," which I took to mean $3,999.

But nope! Also's website was updated on Friday to show that the entry-level TM-B costs $3,500. It goes on sale in late 2026. If you want one sooner, you'll have to pony up for the Launch or Performance models, which hit bike lanes next spring and in mid-2026, respectively.

Now, $3,500 is no small sum. But the Also e-bike brings a lot to the table, too. If you're after value above all else, there are plenty of solid e-bikes out there in the $1,500-$2,500 range. However, if you're an e-bike nerd or just love the notion of a two-wheeler packed with innovative, Rivian-like tech, then you should consider the TM-B.

All TM-Bs offer a slew of impressive features, but there are a few key differences between the $4,500 Launch/Performance models and the $3,500 TM-B.

For starters, the lower-tier bike sacrifices some style. Instead of a purple transparent cover that exposes the motor's guts, you get a more boring bit of gray plastic. Gone are the quirky colorful accents in general. While the higher-end bikes get air suspension front and rear, the base model makes do with a coil fork up front.

The base model offers 5x pedaling assistance, meaning that the motor will multiply the rider's effort by that much. This is more than any other e-bike on the market, Also says, but it doesn't pack the punch of its top-end bikes, which will do 10x. Speaking from experience, I'll say that 10x multiplier is no joke.

The entry bike also has a smaller battery pack and, thus, less range. Also quotes it at up to 60 miles versus 100 miles in the upper-tier models. The good news is you can swap in a larger pack should you decide to upgrade it at a later date.

The other good news is that all TM-Bs share some fundamentally very cool technology.

All models use an ingenious pedal-by-wire drivetrain called DreamRide, whereby the rider pedals into a generator and a separate motor drives the rear wheel. They feature industry-leading torque of 180 newton-meters and dual suspension. As a Class 3 e-bike, the TM-B will do 28 mph while a rider pedals, or 20 mph under throttle alone.

They come with a snappy circular touchscreen, GPS and internet connectivity and the ability to download deep software updates over the air. You can remove the battery to top up your devices via a USB-C connection.

And they all offer what I'd confidently call a one-of-a-kind feature in the e-bike space. With the tap of a button, you can swap in different "top frames," transforming the bike into a cargo carrier or moped-style cruiser.

With the new pricing announcement, we now know how much those top-frames cost: $500 for the cargo option, $450 for the bench seat and $350 for the standard option (which comes with the bike at no extra cost).

What do you think?

Now all that's left to figure out is how much Also's sweet TM-Q quad will run you.
