Rivian makes electric vehicles designed for adventure. But in addition to this (I'm deliberately avoiding the word also), they've just spun out another company called Also, which makes e-bikes, quads, and other mobility products. This month, they revealed their new flagship product called the TM-B (transcendent mobile - bike). If you can't see the embedded video above, click here.

I'm not sure how big the market will be for a US$4,500 e-bike, at least in the short term, but the tech seems pretty awesome. And I think the bigger deal here is that this is now a well-funded company focused on "form factors that are all sub-car." Rivian is a car company, but they recognize that to really drive sustainability into our transportation networks, we need to also think beyond the car.
