From Concept to Mass Production: PREETO’s Flexible Customization Service for Mid-Drive Motors
18 10 月, 2025
For eBike brands, standardized products often fail to meet differentiated market needs. For example, one brand may want a lightweight eBike tailored for female riders that requires a smaller motor, while another may need a high-end cargo eBike that pairs with a specific battery system.
To address this, PREETO offers a one-stop flexible customization service — providing end-to-end support from concept design to mass production to meet diverse customer requirements.
One-Stop Service: Covering the Entire Process
PREETO’s customization is not about “simple parameter adjustment,” but rather a complete from-zero-to-one development journey:
- Requirement Communication: Understand the client’s target scenario (e.g., female commuters, premium cargo), core needs (lightweight, long range, unique appearance), and budget.
- Design & R&D: Based on a modular platform architecture, PREETO delivers tailored designs — for instance, controlling the motor weight under 1.8 kg and adjusting the Q-factor to 165 mm for female-oriented eBikes to match a more natural riding posture. For high-end cargo bikes, the motor can be optimized for 120 Nm torque and enhanced anti-roll-back functionality.
- Prototype Verification: After producing samples, each unit undergoes 200+ rigorous tests (including reliability, waterproofing, and noise tests) to ensure performance consistency and compliance with requirements.
- Mass Production & Delivery: Depending on order volume (pilot batches or large-scale production), PREETO activates its automated production lines. The MES (Manufacturing Execution System) ensures batch consistency, while logistics support enables efficient global delivery.
Flexible Manufacturing: Balancing Small and Large Orders
While many manufacturers only support high-volume customization, PREETO’s flexibility comes from two major advantages:
- Modular Architecture: The three core motors — P60, P90, and P110 — share key components (such as control systems and sensors). During customization, only specific parts (like gears or housings) need adjustment, effectively reducing both cost and lead time for small-batch production.
- Automated Production Lines: The automated assembly lines in Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Suzhou can swiftly switch production parameters — for example, producing 100 lightweight customized P60 units today, then switching to 5,000 standard P90 units tomorrow. This enables brands to balance small-scale pilot runs and large-scale market rollouts seamlessly.
Third-Party Compatibility: Open and Integrated
PREETO’s customization service also includes third-party product adaptation, ensuring broader compatibility and system integration:
- Battery Adaptation: Compatible with third-party batteries (e.g., Panasonic, Samsung) and their BMS systems, ensuring full synchronization between motor and power source.
- Display Integration: Supports integration with third-party cycling computers (e.g., Garmin, Bryton) for seamless data connectivity.
- Appearance Customization: Offers personalized housing color, logo engraving, and branding adjustments based on the client’s VI (Visual Identity) standards, enhancing brand recognition and market differentiation.
Through this full-cycle, modular, and open customization model, PREETO bridges creativity and production, helping eBike brands accelerate product innovation and stand out in a rapidly evolving market.
