Briefly

Rivian's first e-bike is unlike anything you've ever seen
"The TM-B (aka Transcendent Mobility - Bike) with its 24 x 2.6-inch wheels and integrated front- and rear-lighting looks and functions like nothing else on the market. It features a new pedal-by-wire drivetrain called "DreamRide" developed in-house. The rider pedals a generator, which replenishes the battery, while a separate software-driven traction motor drives the rear wheel via a Gates Carbon belt."
"The removable battery - available in either 538Wh or 808Wh packs, offering up 100 miles of range - features two USB-C ports. The batteries can be charged over USB-C at 240W, going from zero to full in two hours and 20 minutes or three hours and 45 minutes, respectively. They can also act as a portable power bank for your gadgets. An E Ink display shows the battery's current charge."
"As a Class 3 e-bike, it has a pedal-assisted top speed of 28mph (45kph). It also features a throttle good for 20mph where regulations allow, and an astounding 180Nm of torque on tap - enough to flatten steep hills and make quick starts off the line when carrying heavy loads. Hydraulic disc brakes help bring everything to a controlled stop, while regenerative braking could extend range by an estimated 25 percent."
Rivian's micromobility spinoff Also offers the TM-B e-bike, TM-Q pedal-assisted electric quad, and Alpha Wave helmet. The TM-B uses 24 x 2.6-inch wheels, integrated lighting, and an in-house DreamRide pedal-by-wire system where pedaling spins a generator to recharge the battery while a software-driven traction motor drives the rear wheel via a Gates Carbon belt. Removable 538Wh or 808Wh battery packs provide up to 100 miles of range, include two USB-C ports, support 240W charging, and can function as portable power banks. The bike is Class 3 with 28mph assist, a 20mph throttle, 180Nm torque, hydraulic disc brakes, estimated 25% range boost from regenerative braking, and a modular top frame that converts to cargo, child-carrying, or cruiser setups via a 5-inch circular touchscreen.
