Rivian Spinoff Also Begins Shipping Modular TM-B E-Bikes Following Supply Chain Challenges
Also, a micromobility startup spun off from Rivian, has officially begun shipping its 'Launch Edition' TM-B modular electric bikes to customers. Led by President Chris Yu, the company faced significant production delays due to intense competition for semiconductor components and specialized materials with the AI server industry. Despite these hurdles, Also is transitioning from a prototype phase into a manufacturing ramp-up. The startup aims to expand beyond its current e-bike offering with the TM-Q, an electric four-wheeler designed for commercial autonomous deliveries. While early customers have reported minor software issues and delivery delays on social media platforms, management indicates that supply chain bottlenecks regarding integrated circuits (ICs) and thermal materials have been largely resolved.
