Jack Newsham at Business Insider takes the Also TM-B for a test spin. Rivian's e-bike is turning heads, and not only because of its unique looks. Backed by $305m fundraising, Also represents the first serious entry by a car maker into the rapidly growing electric bike market, and it seems designed to bring smart-car features from EVs into the world of urban cycling.
It remains to be seen, however, if more smart features and proprietary components are really what consumers want out of an e-bike. Newsham concludes by noting that while the TM-B is a thrilling and fun experience, it wasn't different enough from his trusty Fuji road bike to instantly convert him. On the other hand, its innovative suite of features and accessible user experience might be just the thing to attract non-cyclists to actually make the switch.
