Rivian's Also E-Bike Faces Delays Due to Supply Chain Issues
Rivian’s micromobility division, Also, has delayed the release of its futuristic TM-B electric bike. Originally scheduled for spring 2026 and later pushed to summer, deliveries are still pending as production faces significant hurdles. The delays stem from supply chain challenges exacerbated by the AI boom, particularly in securing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and integrated circuits (ICs). Additionally, Also is working with regulatory bodies to establish new safety protocols for its high-capacity battery system. The bike’s innovative DreamRide drivetrain also requires precise manufacturing, slowing production. Also's product manager, Saul Leiken, acknowledged the delays on Reddit in a detailed apology letter and emphasized that quality standards are being maintained despite setbacks.
