Third-Party Accessory GuideUpdated a month ago
The ALSO TM-B is built with a modular platform designed to adapt to your life. While we offer a robust ecosystem of our own swappable configurations, we know you might want to outfit your TM-B with some of your favorite third-party gear.
To make upgrading your ride seamless, we’ve compiled a list of recommended third-party accessories and size specifications for the TM-B.
Find your category below to see our official gear recommendations and technical requirements for your bike.
Category | Recommendations |
Child Bike Seats | Our Utility Top Frame comes equipped with a heavy-duty, integrated MIK HD rear rack. Make sure that you purchase a MIK HD compatible child seat so it safely clicks into place. We highly recommend the Thule Yepp, a reputable and well-tested seat. Passenger Kit is great for older kids who've outgrown a secure seat. |
| Child Trailers | Burley Trailers is a great pick for carrying little ones, especially two of them. Keep in mind the payload capacity of 324 lbs, including you and the trailer itself. |
Panniers & Bags | The Utility Top Frame features an integrated MIK HD rear rack. We recommend standard Ortlieb Panniers & Bike Bags with Quick-Lock 2.1 (QL2.1) or QL3.1, or any third-party bags that are MIK HD compatible. |
Pet Transport | Looking to bring your four-legged friend along? We recommend the Burley Tail Wagon trailer. |
Performance & Suspension | If you are looking for extra trail capability, mountain biking upgrades, or a dropper seat post, we recommend the wireless Fox Transfer Neo Seatpost. |
Mirrors & Handlebar Gear | Standard sizing applies to the cockpit! Any third-party handlebar accessories or mirrors utilizing a 22.2mm clamp will work perfectly. |
Carrying TM-B on your car or truck
You will need to use a hitch rack to attach a TM-B to a full sized vehicle. TM-B weighs 70 lbs without a Top Frame or Battery installed, which is too much weight for any trunk rack.
Specs to know:
Weight Rating: A heavy-duty e-bike hitch rack should be rated for at minimum 70 lbs, and ideally 100+
Tray Fit: Tire size is 24" x 2.6". The wheelbase is 49". Check to make sure TM-B fits into the tray of the hitch rack.
Recommended hitch racks:
| Brand | Model | Great for |
| 1up® | Super Duty | Value Pick |
| Küat® | Piston® SR Hitch Rack | Premium single-bike capacity |
| Küat® | ION | Expandable for multiple bikes |
Things to consider
Tongue weight: Check your vehicle's maximum tongue weight (vertical force the car can carry on a hitch). It will need to exceed both the weight of the TM-B and the rack itself. Some cars, especially compact EVs, have smaller tongue weights.
Ramp: A ramp is recommended for loading and unloading.
Straps: Secure attachment is essential for safely carrying your bikes. Follow the guidance given by the manufacturer of the rack every time you load up.
License Plate: In some states, it's illegal to have your plate obscured. Most hitches have an option for mounting your plate on the rear of the rack.
