Here is what the page “Rivian-Backed Pedal-by-Wire E-Bike Battery Dies: What Happens Next?” contains. The ALSO TM-B, an e-bike linked to Rivian, has drawn attention for replacing the traditional chain and mechanical pedal linkage with a pedal-by-wire system. Instead of a physical connection, copper wires send signals from the pedals to the rear wheel, making it one of the most radical e-bike designs Instead of a physical connection, copper wires send signals from the pedals to the rear wheel, making it one of the most radical e-bike designs in years.
But the innovation raises a critical question: what happens when the battery runs out? In a recent test, someone rode the TM-B until its battery died, and the results were unexpected. Without power, the bike’s electronic controls shut down, leaving the rider unable to pedal in the conventional sense.
