Also, Inc., the micromobility spinoff of the EV maker Rivian, will unveil later this week its debut product.
The California-based startup, which Rivian launched in March to develop small, lightweight electric vehicles, has not formally confirmed what it plans to reveal.
However, a now-deleted behind-the-scenes video briefly posted on social media appeared to show the company’s first product — an electric bicycle.
“Introducing transcendent mobility — Tune in October 22nd 2025,” the company said on its website.
Rivian founder and Chief Executive Officer RJ Scaringe has previously said the new venture’s first product would be “an electric vehicle with one seat, two wheels, a screen, computers and a battery.”
In early September, the company filmed the official promotional pictures and videos e-bike for the first time in Ojai, California.
“Like in the larger sibling vehicles being built by our friends at Rivian, ALSO’s technology ingredients showcase the deep capabilities across hardware and software that are core to the ALSO team,” the brand said in a blog post.
Images that surfaced last month suggest the e-bike will feature front and rear suspension, a large battery enclosure above the bottom bracket, and several technologies shared with Rivian’s vehicles.
The technologies include zonal electrical architecture, in-house motors, power electronics, and custom software. The model is expected to reach the market in early 2026.
Rivian disclosed in March that it had set up Also Inc. to develop fully electric lightweight vehicles such as e-bikes and microcars.
The venture launched with $105 million in funding from Rivian and venture-capital firm Eclipse.
In July, San Francisco-based Greenoaks Capital invested $200 million, valuing the company at about $1 billion.
As of March, Also employed roughly 70 people with backgrounds at Apple, Google, Tesla, and Uber.
Under Rivian, the project was internally known as “Project Inder.”
According to TechCrunch, Rivian and former Apple design chief Jony Ive’s firm LoveFrom collaborated on the bike for about 18 months under Chris Yu, Rivian’s then VP of Future Programs and now President of Also.
The collaboration ended late last year.
When announcing the spinoff, Rivian said Also would “focus on small, lightweight vehicles that are designed to meet the global mobility transportation challenges of today and tomorrow.”
