Rivian’s Secret E-Bike? 100-Mile Range, Pedal-By-Wire & “Transcendent” Tech | ALSO TM-B Review
MotorTrend’s The InEVitable goes hands-on with one of the most interesting e-bikes ever built — the ALSO. TM-B (Transcendent Mobility Bicycle), born from Rivian’s skunkworks. We talk with ALSO's Director of Product Line, Saul Leiken about what makes this bike unique.This isn’t your typical e-bike. With pedal-by-wire tech, no chain, regenerative braking, and automotive-grade battery tech, the TMB blurs the line between bicycle and EV.
We ride it, break down the tech, and ask the hard questions:
Is this the future of micromobility?
Is $3,500–$4,500 justified?
And does it actually feel like a “real” bike?
Featuring:
⚡ 100-mile claimed range
⚡ Pedal-by-wire “Dream Ride” system
⚡ Swappable battery (Rivian tech inside)
⚡ Built-in anti-theft + connectivity
⚡ Modular design with swappable frames
