Amazon has entered into a commercial agreement with Also, a micromobility startup spun out of Rivian, to purchase thousands of pedal-assist cargo quad vehicles. These vehicles, capable of carrying over 400 pounds of packages, are designed to operate in bike lanes, making them ideal for urban delivery in dense areas.

The startup plans to offer both commercial and consumer versions of the TM-Q, leveraging a versatile quad platform that can support various top designs. Amazon’s investment in Also underscores its commitment to expanding its micromobility fleet, which currently operates in over 70 cities across the U.S. and Europe.
