Rivian’s $1B Spinoff & The DoorDash Autonomy Deal

Rivian’s $1B Spinoff & The DoorDash Autonomy Deal

Is the future of the EV revolution actually a bike? Today, March 31, 2026, we’re breaking down the massive news that Rivian’s micromobility spinoff, ALSO, has officially hit a $1 billion valuation.

In this "Mega-Episode," we explore why DoorDash just led a $200 million funding round and signed a multi-year deal to deploy autonomous delivery quads in your neighborhood. We’re going deep into the hardware of the ALSO TM-B, featuring its radical "Pedal-by-Wire" system and 180 Nm of torque.

In this episode:

  • The $1B Pivot: Why Rivian spun off its e-bike division and how it’s paying off.

  • The DoorDash Deal: From human couriers to autonomous "TM-Q" quads in the bike lane.

  • Hardware Specs: A deep dive into the TM-B’s modular magnesium frame and "no-chain" drivetrain.

  • Market Shift: Why $4,500 for an e-bike might actually be the smartest car replacement of 2026.

Whether you're an EV enthusiast, a tech investor, or just wondering why your next burrito might be delivered by a Rivian-bred robot, this is the episode you can't miss.
