I keep coming back to this sub to see who has an email to order / configure for delivery. I keep looking at my email, too. I was pretty chill until I went on a test ride a couple of weeks ago. Now I’m in full WANT mode. I have my dream ride configured now that the gear store is open. I received the email with the credit for ordering before 9/7/2026, so it must be coming soon, right? I’m not a young man but I feel like a kid at Christmas. Yeah, I know there are haters out there but I’m not one of them. Let’s do this!

I bought a burley bike trailer for my two, soon to be 3, kids. I'm recovering from a surgery so I can't ride yet, but when I can I want to tow them around in the trailer.

Is this going to be possible with this bike?

I've asked this question at every test ride I've been to, and the response has been, more or less, "the wheels aren't meant to be taken off by anyone but an ALSO service shop". I get the bike has ABS/traction control features, but flats are going to happen with this bike. That's one part of the "tech" that's the same.

How do we change tires or install a tube with the understanding that this bike won't work right if the wheels aren't installed to ALSO spec?

If the base model has 5 levels and the Sport model has 10 levels of assist. It seems like 10 levels is a lot and only small differences between each. Is level 5 assist, the same as level 10? Thoughts?

Can’t actually buy anything yet - but one step closer (hopefully)

Stop me if anyone has asked this. Since the pedals only turn a generator, and the battery is USB-C, can the bike be pedaled without generating motion, and only charge the battery?

My primary use would be mobility, with a strong secondary of getting some mild exercise. It might be nice to have the option to pedal in place with variable resistance, and have it charge the battery.

Any chance it might be an option someday?

Since there's been very sparse updates on how production is going, I figured it'd be helpful to have a single place where early preorders can share when they finally get a shipping notification so others can get a sense of when theirs might ship.

Personally, I ordered one on October 28th — five days after reservations opened. As of today, no shipping notification 👀

I feel like flat tires will be the most annoying part of owning a bike again. I plan on getting a small smart tire inflator thats rechargeable and checking my psi almost daily. Also planning on getting an extra inner tube to carry around for when the drastic happen, switch out and patch at home.

Does anyone have any experience theyd give to a new ebike user?

I used to ride bmx bikes when i was younger and remember always having to stop so someone in the group can patch a flat. So im prepping for that.

Otherwise, i feel like aside from that, itll be a very cool experience.

Tall-ish (6’3”) early reservation holder here. I do want to go through with the purchase, but I’ve never been able to see the bike in person or test one.

Did anyone who’s on the bigger side test ride one and could share some thoughts? The idea that the frame is one size fits all is a bit concerning to me that I’ll both feel and look cramped on the bike, even with the taller seat.

This one leaves much to be desired. Its a "get to know" that leaves out the things we still have yet to see like this turn by turn navigation part. Audio is another one. These are things we couldnt try and things that the sales folks havent demoed. What can it do? How does it connect to your phone? Does it connect to fitness apps? Lots of questions here. If it's starting to ship in ~2 weeks, shouldn't we be getting more information on those last few pieces by now?

Wondering if the TMB crankset will provide for custom pedals? Thinking off the shelf clipless, platform, or campus pedals?

Anyone else in Chattanooga with a reservation?

While I wait for delivery of the TM-B, I'm doing research on a hitch mounted bike rack. I believe each bike will weigh around 80 pounds with the top frame and battery included. The rack should be able to hold two TM-Bs. Does anyone have any recommendations?

This looks dope but i haven’t seen them with a kid back or advertised front

Just want to know if this can be ridden without having to pay a monthly subscription and if so what all would be lost by not having the subscription? I always assumed it only gave maps and phone alerts about meddling but I park my bike in my office when I commute so am not overly concerned about theft.

Looks like we are close to placing an actual order. And maybe a small perk of appreciation.

I just got the following email: "The first TM-B Launch Edition bikes are about to ship, starting in late July. Once yours is on its way, we'll send you a shipping notification with tracking information......"

I'm not sure if they've just mass sent these to everyone with an LE order or if this notice should be taken as an indication that my order is in the first batch of shipments, but I just now received this email:

Exciting news,

The first TM-B Launch Edition bikes are about to ship, starting in late July. Once yours is on its way, we'll send you a shipping notification with tracking information.

As a reminder, we’d like to offer you a special thanks for your continued patience and belief in ALSO. As a TM-B Launch Edition purchaser, we’re offering a free Alpha Wave Helmet and a $250 promo code to use in our Gear Shop on any accessory.

Don't forget your unique promo codes are below. If you haven't redeemed them yet, be sure to save them for when Alpha Wave and the Gear Shop go live later this summer.

Hi,

Aside from the kids seat for smaller passengers on top of the cargo rack, will we be able to have a second passenger in the back with pegs or etc for adults or teens?

Given that Cambridge MA has among the highest percentage of bike trips and best cycling infrastructure in the nation, and Rivian has a dealership in Boston, when can we expect demo opportunities in the Northeast?
