Rivian Spinoff Launches Electric Cargo Bikes for City Deliveries

Also, a company spun off from electric vehicle maker Rivian, has introduced pedal-assisted cargo bikes built for urban delivery routes. The TM-B platform includes a belt drive system (quieter and lower-maintenance than chain drives), full suspension for smoother rides, and removable batteries that can be swapped out—useful for fleet managers who need continuous operation. The bikes are designed to fit in standard bike lanes. Also is the first major automotive company to enter the commercial cargo bike market, joining established players like Rad Power Bikes and Urban Arrow. The timing makes sense: e-commerce is driving demand for last-mile delivery solutions, and cities are pushing companies away from diesel delivery vehicles in congested urban areas.
