ALSO, a micromobility company spun out by Rivian in 2025, began shipping its TM-B Launch Edition e-bikes in August 2026 and announced a $150 million Series D the same month. The TM-B Standard is priced at $3,500 with a 60-mile range estimate under ideal conditions, and the Performance at $4,500 with a 100-mile estimate under ideal conditions.
Why it matters
Shortages of integrated circuits, computing components, memory and printed circuit board materials have slowed deliveries across the sector, and ALSO's President Chris Yu linked pressure on board supplies to demand from AI server farms. For households weighing an e-bike purchase, supply constraints can stretch delivery windows well beyond the date a buyer expects.
The TM-B Standard is priced at $3,500 with a 60-mile range estimate, and the Performance at $4,500 with a 100-mile estimate, both under ideal conditions. Standard model deliveries have been scheduled for early 2027, later than the company's August forecast.
The players
ALSO
A micromobility company spun out by Rivian in 2025, maker of the TM-B e-bike line.
Chris Yu
President of ALSO, who linked board supply pressure to AI server farm demand.
UL
Safety certification organization that worked with ALSO on a testing protocol for the TM-B battery architecture.
The details
ALSO sourced replacement parts and spent weeks checking them for heat tolerance, impact resistance and vibration. The company also worked with UL on a testing protocol for the TM-B battery architecture, and the Performance model is certified under ANSI/CAN/UL 2849. Launch Edition shipments are scheduled to continue through November 2026, with Performance deliveries starting in November and most orders expected to ship by December 2026.
Timeline
August 2026: TM-B Launch Edition shipping begins and $150 million Series D announced.
November 3, 2026: Chris Yu describes rising deliveries.
November 2026: Launch Edition shipments continue and Performance deliveries begin.
December 2026: Most current orders expected to ship.
Early 2027: Standard model deliveries scheduled.
The Home Front
The TM-B Performance is certified under ANSI/CAN/UL 2849, a named e-bike safety standard, which situates the product within formal battery and electrical testing requirements. Buyers comparing e-bikes at home can use that certification as one reference point when evaluating models.
If you are considering a TM-B, plan around the staggered delivery schedule, since Standard model buyers should expect early 2027 and Performance buyers a November or December 2026 window. Check the stated range figures against your own commute and charging access, as the 60- and 100-mile estimates apply only under ideal conditions.
The takeaway
Battery-powered e-bikes carry component-supply risk, so the realistic delivery date may land well after the original forecast. Before paying, confirm your model's scheduled delivery window in writing from the seller.
What happens next
Launch Edition shipments continue through November 2026, Performance deliveries begin in November 2026, most orders are expected to ship by December 2026, and Standard model deliveries are scheduled for early 2027.
