Pedaling the TM-BUpdated 2 months ago

Does the ALSO TM-B have an automatic or manual transmission?


The ALSO TM-B features a dual-mode transmission system that offers both Automatic and Manual shifting. Powered by the proprietary DreamRide propulsion system, these software-defined gears eliminate the sticking, slipping, and lag time common in traditional mechanical drivetrains.

TM-B Transmission Modes Compared
Riders can choose between two primary shifting experiences depending on their terrain or riding style:
  • Automatic Mode (Auto)
    • How it works: Set your preferred pedaling speed (cadence) via the interface.
    • The Experience: The DreamRide system automatically adapts to road conditions and inclines to maintain your set cadence without manual input.
  • Manual Mode
    • How it works: Select your gears manually, similar to a traditional bicycle.
    • The Experience: Provides immediate, responsive shifts. Because gears are software-defined, the transition between gears is instantaneous and smooth.

The DreamRide Advantage
Unlike mechanical gears found on standard e-bikes, the TM-B's software-defined shifting provides several distinct advantages:
  1. Immediate Response: Zero lag time between gear selection and engagement.
  2. Increased Reliability: Eliminates mechanical "slipping" or "sticking" issues.
  3. Customizable Feel: The smooth, responsive nature of the system mimics the "perfect" gear shift every time.
