ALSO. / TM-B

The ALSO. TM-B represents a radical new approach to the eBike segment, conceived as a fully modular mobility platform. At its core is a standardised main frame that can be transformed in seconds. By swapping out the top frame, it converts from a laid-back beach cruiser into an urban eSUV or a fully capable cargo bike. At the heart of it all is the DreamRide pedal-by-wire drive system. The cranks and rear wheel are mechanically decoupled, with pedalling input captured electronically, processed via software and delivered to the rear wheel through the motor with serious punch. The result is an extraordinarily composed ride feel – a true powerhouse with massive torque that remains easy to modulate, precisely controlled and virtually delay-free. There’s no comparing the DreamRide system with conventional drivetrain setups. Motor, battery, recuperation, riding modes, safety systems and software all come from a single source and work together in perfect harmony. The ALSO. TM-B impressed the jury as a forward-thinking, fully integrated mobility system that reimagines modularity, drive technology and design from the ground up.
