Yeah, so TMB starts at $3,500 and you can outfit it from there.

So it's a really, really highly capable product at that price point.

And I guess, I'm guessing DoorDash will use these as part of your partnership or you'll supply them.

Is this a pilot program or is it a more meaningful path to deploy at scale?

Yeah, if I back up for a second, we constructed also really, we think of our first phase of our business to address this massive wave of electrification of the existing small form factors.

So if you look at how trips happen today globally, the vast majority happen in things that are smaller than a car, and very few of those things are electric today.

And so phase one of also is building a purpose-built EV platform to accelerate the electrification of these modes.

Now, as the world becomes increasingly autonomous, we believe the factors that drive towards small form factors, meaning congestion and cost per mile, still exist.

And so one of the key things about our partnership with DoorDash that we're really, really excited about

is to deploy autonomous delivery at scale, utilizing these much, much more optimized, smaller form factors.

I see.

So it's beyond the DoorDash ideas, beyond electric bikes, human pedals, and more about autonomous delivery, what, using bike lanes in urban settings?

Yeah, correct.

If you look at our e-bike architecture or our pedal quad architecture, these are highly capable EVs that have really car-like capabilities in some sense, meaning car-like speeds, payloads, range.

And if you look at how deliveries happen, happening in relatively dense suburban urban areas,

Increasingly, congestion and the total cost of operation of these vehicles is quite critical and quite important.

And so we believe in working with DoorDash that the optimal answer often are vehicles that can traverse the intersection of roadways and road adjacent spaces like bike lanes, shoulders, and curbsides.

All right, Chris, we'll be following along with interest.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Chris, you there is the president of also after raising funding at a billion dollar valuation and doing a deal with DoorDash as well.
