Also begins shipping its TM-B e-bike after supply-chain setbacks

Also, the Rivian spinoff, announced that its Launch Edition TM-B e-bike will start shipping to customers next week following several months of supply-chain delays.

Also, the electric-vehicle offshoot of Rivian, will finally commence deliveries of its TM-B e-bike next week after a series of supply-chain obstacles forced the launch from its initial spring 2026 target to a summer window. The $4,500 Launch Edition models have already been shipped from the manufacturer to the company’s U.S. warehouse, with the firm aiming to complete all deliveries by September. The venture, which emerged from a Rivian internal project in 2022 and secured $105 million in backing from Eclipse, partnered with Jony Ive’s design studio LoveFrom for early styling.

A rapid rise in global demand for raw materials and electronic components delayed the manufacturing ramp-up, though the company said it is working around the clock to maintain safety and quality. Also has broader ambitions, including four-wheel cargo vehicles for Amazon and an autonomous delivery unit for DoorDash, but must first satisfy e-bike customers who have voiced disappointment over missed deadlines on forums.

Why it matters

Consumers awaiting the high-priced e-bike finally see shipments, highlighting how global component shortages can delay new tech products.
