Rivian, known for its large electric trucks, is setting its sights on small and lightweight vehicles. The Irvine-based automaker said Wednesday it’s spinning out its micromobility business into a new startup called Also Inc. Micromobility encompasses a variety of vehicles, including electric bikes, scooters and skateboards.

A range of EVs with up to 50 times the efficiency of SUVs, intended for urban environments, is the focus of an entire other company we didn't know Rivian had.

Known as Also will focus on e-bikes as well as three- and four-wheel products including neighborhood EVs and micro cars.
