Also is rethinking e-bike design by decoupling pedals from wheels through software-driven control. The company claims the approach delivers a fundamentally different riding experience.
Also's upcoming e-bike separates the mechanical link between pedals and wheels, replacing it with an electronic system that interprets rider input through software. This modular design allows the bike to operate in multiple modes, potentially letting riders switch between direct pedaling, motor-assisted propulsion, or other configurations.
The disconnect enables features impossible on traditional bikes. Software can adjust how pedal input translates to wheel movement, customize resistance curves, or even allow independent control of each wheel.
The company positions the innovation as a way to enhance comfort and efficiency. By decoupling mechanical components, Also can optimize the riding experience for different conditions and user preferences without the constraints of traditional drivetrain architecture.
Details on availability, pricing, and specific performance metrics remain limited. The move signals growing interest in software-defined bikes as manufacturers explore how digital control can reshape cycling fundamentals.
