We had a blast as usual. Rode from EVO in Fremont up and up and up towards Queen Anne until we got to this great viewpoint where we could see Gasworks Park and so much more...
The ride back was fun too, except for the draw bridge. 😁
Next month, we've been invited back to one of our favorite test spin sites to take part in a group ride to Gas Works Park in Fremont!
As well as reminding us Test Spins are now available daily in many cities.
Just received this announcement via email.
See: Tooting your own horn, ringing your own bell, etc
Nothing we don't already know...
Test spins are now available DAILY at EVO shops in select cities ! (Seattle, Portland, SLC, Denver)
Photo of my dog Wanda for attention 😏
Had a blast rolling around Seattle today, as far South as Gasworks Park.
Great bike lanes in this part of town.
These demos don't have any working horns/bells; that would have been nice on crowded lanes.
The techs told us they just got to assemble the new TM-Bs for the EVO test sites (check your emails, Seattle, Portland, Denver, and SLC)
Very easy two man job, still doable by yourself.
One of the techs claims he'll be wrapping his lower frame in some sort of darker color.
I definitely prefer the wider saddle of the Utility top frame over the solo.
Can't imagine using the banana seat for much more than short fun runs with a bunch of throttle.
I even got a ball cap. 😁
Anybody else notice nearly all of the social media ads RideAlso were running seemed to have just disappeared?
Guess they received enough pre-orders yesterday? 🤔
We rode around on them for about 40mins.
We were able to test the brakes throughly.
We experimented with different cadence settings; she likes 45, I prefer 55.
Maybe it has something to do with our ages? 🤭
The throttle is impressive, even on very steep hills.
We flew up them at nearly 20mph.
Weird test I tried with the banana seat; I unlocked it while sitting on it. It went nowhere. I didn't fall off backwards. It just sat there until I lifted it off or canceled the removal on the screen. I think the pedal-by-wire disengages entirely when in the unlock screen.
Street tires performed fine on gravel and dirt trails.
A RideAlso tech pointed out that the saddles that will come with the Utility top posts are about an inch wider than the solo top seats.
I think we may end up with two of those, short Utility top posts.
One purple. One green. 😁
Tuesday can't come fast enough !
It's official; get in by Monday to secure a vehicle

Is it any wonder why people are reluctant to get into bicycling?
This sounds like far too much work.
The OP isn't worried about losing pedals or the throttle; they just think removing them might deter thieves.
Wouldn't that take several minutes to remove and reassemble, every ride? Ugh.
I'm glad the TM-B will have built in security features, but I'm still gonna use at least one (probably two) gnarly lock(s).
It's official.
ALL RESERVATION HOLDERS will receive their invites August 18th 2026 !
Posted today via IG:
An ALSO rep texted us to let us know the ALSO app is live and available for download for both Apple and Android!
It's really happening folks!
This is how we connect with our TM-Bs !
Had a blast on our third yest spin here in Seattle. Took some pics of the connection points on the top frame. It appears there are both front and rear mounts on the solo top frames.
We rode all the way around GreenLake Thursday evening using the lovely two-way bike lanes of Seattle.
We're so ready.
We scheduled a fourth test spin next week, they're so fun.
