Rivian spinout ALSO begins deliveries of $4,500 TM-B e-bike

Rivian spinout ALSO has started delivering its Launch Edition TM-B e-bike at $4,500 after months of delays. Early owners praise the pedal-by-wire DreamRide drive, but a real-world range test returned 51 km against the claimed 160 km.

• Launch Edition priced at $4,500, deliveries began after repeated delays
• DreamRide drive uses pedal-by-wire with no mechanical drivetrain
• Real-world test: 51 km at max assist with 4% battery left
• Assist power steps down from 10x to 2x as battery drains
