Rivian Spinout Also Abandons Kenya E-Motorcycle Pilot Amid E-Bike Delays
This is a business and product-delivery story, not a security incident. Also, the micromobility startup spun out of Rivian in 2025, quietly started and then abandoned an electric two-wheeler pilot project in Kenya that was funded by the Shell Foundation. The company shifted focus to its core roadmap, including autonomous vehicle development with DoorDash, and to fixing supply chain issues that delayed its flagship TM-B e-bike. Also's co-founder Chris Yu acknowledged poor communication with reservation holders during the delays, which were caused by component shortages (including competition for PCB materials used in AI data centers) and certification hurdles. The TM-B began shipping in October 2026, though early customers have reported delivery damage and battery drain issues.
