— January 16, 2026 — Art & Design
The Also TM-B is an electric cargo bicycle developed by Rivian that combines pedal power with electric assistance. The bike features a sturdy frame with an extended rear rack designed to carry cargo, gear, or additional accessories. The electric system integrates a mid-drive motor and a battery pack mounted on the downtube to provide pedal-assist power and extend range. The bike’s drivetrain includes multiple gears controlled through a derailleur system. Braking is managed via hydraulic disc brakes on both wheels. The front and rear wheels use thick, durable tires suited for urban and light off-road riding conditions.

Rivian designed the Also TM-B with ergonomic handlebars, a comfortable saddle, and integrated lighting for visibility. The frame and components are finished in coordinated colorways. The bike’s electric assistance levels and battery management are controlled through a handlebar-mounted interface for rider adjustment. The cargo rack accommodates bags, boxes, or other items, with attachment points for secure loading.
