Rivian has launched Also, a micromobility division backed by $105M in Series B funding from Eclipse, to develop lightweight electric vehicles such as bikes and scooters for a smoother transition to electrified transportation.
RJ Scaringe, Rivian's founder, initially envisioned micromobility. Over a decade later, his vision evolved into a skunkworks project exploring if Rivian’s technology could be scaled down to create smaller, more affordable electric vehicles.
