■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 1 SOURCE ▸ TIMELINE

Also, the e-bike startup spun off from Rivian, is finally shipping its TM-B model after extended delays. The company plans to expand into four-wheel cargo vehicles for Amazon.

Also has cleared a significant hurdle by commencing deliveries of its TM-B e-bike following months of postponements. The company, which separated from Rivian, operates under a broader "vehicle" positioning rather than positioning itself solely as a bike maker. Beyond the TM-B, Also is pursuing an ambitious product roadmap. The startup is developing four-wheel pedal-assist cargo vehicles designed specifically for Amazon's logistics operations. This initiative reflects Also's strategy to diversify its vehicle lineup and establish commercial partnerships. The delayed launch of the TM-B had pushed back Also's timeline, but the company is now executing on its delivery commitments. The move marks a transition from development to revenue-generating operations for the spinoff.
