ALSO's TM-B eBike Wins Fast Company Innovation by Design Awards

ALSO, an electric mobility company based in Palo Alto, California, has been honored with two Fast Company 2026 Innovation by Design Awards for its TM-B (Transcendent Mobility) eBike. The TM-B eBike, which is ALSO's first small electric vehicle, was recognized in both the Product Design and Transportation Design categories.

Born out of Rivian, the TM-B eBike is designed around DreamRide, a pedal-by-wire propulsion system. This system uses software to define the ride experience, allowing for automatic terrain flattening, curated workouts, and a range of unique experiences. The eBike can switch between a solo commuter setup, a cargo configuration, and a bench seat in seconds, without tools. A five-inch Portal touchscreen handles navigation, ride modes, and connectivity.

Chris Yu, Co-Founder and President of ALSO, expressed pride in the recognition, stating, "We set out to build the world's best eBike in the TM-B. Our goal was to bring the magical and seamless experience from the best EVs, like Rivians, into this category. Fast Company's recognition is a wonderful validation of our approach and the incredible combination of design and technology that the TM-B represents."

The Innovation by Design Awards, now in their 15th year, celebrate designers and businesses addressing today's most urgent challenges while anticipating the problems of tomorrow. The program highlights work that exemplifies originality, beauty, sustainability, user insight, cultural significance, and measurable business impact.

Honorees were selected by a panel of top designers, business executives from leading organizations, and Fast Company editors. The awards aim to recognize ideas that challenge convention and demonstrate how thoughtful design can solve meaningful problems and create new possibilities for people and businesses.

The TM-B eBike is part of ALSO's mission to build the world's best small vehicles for moving people and goods, both driven and autonomous. The company is redefining transportation through intelligent, smaller-than-car electric vehicles built for the movement of people and goods. With products spanning driven and autonomous applications, ALSO is helping shape a transportation future with less congestion, lower costs, and lower emissions.
