Also, an electric bicycle startup, is launching a new e-bike that disconnects the traditional relationship between pedaling and wheel movement. Instead of directly powering the wheels, pedaling generates electricity to power a motor. This innovative design aims to enhance the cycling experience by using software to simulate a conventional bike feel.
- 01Also's e-bike separates pedaling from wheel movement, creating a unique cycling experience.
- 02Pedaling generates electricity to power a motor, rather than turning the wheels directly.
- 03The bike's software adjusts resistance and simulates a traditional biking feel.
- 04The TM-B model is currently in pre-production and has undergone initial testing.
- 05Also is based near Rivian, sharing some battery technology concepts.

Also, an innovative electric bicycle startup, is set to launch its first e-bike, the TM-B, which fundamentally alters the traditional cycling experience. Instead of the conventional mechanism where pedaling directly turns the wheels, this e-bike uses pedaling to generate electricity that powers a motor. This design allows for a more flexible cycling experience, as the software controls the resistance felt by the rider, making it feel like a standard bike most of the time. However, when riders push harder, the bike transitions into a more advanced mode, enhancing the ride. The company, located near Rivian, the electric vehicle manufacturer, has integrated some of the same battery technology but at a lower density. Initial rides on a pre-production model indicate that Also is on track to deliver a compelling product that could redefine e-biking.
