Behind every PREETO mid-drive motor lies not only precise manufacturing, but also the deep research and development capabilities of its parent company, ZHAOWEI. This is what transforms PREETO from a product into a platform for continuous innovation.
ZHAOWEI operates four major R&D centers worldwide, supported by a team of over 1,000 engineers specializing in motor design, electronics, transmission systems, and control algorithms. These multidisciplinary teams ensure that PREETO benefits from expertise across multiple technical domains.
The development of PREETO motors relies heavily on digital twin simulations. From electromagnetic modeling of stators to mechanical stress analysis of gears, every design iteration is validated in virtual environments before physical prototyping. This shortens development cycles while improving design accuracy.
With more than 700 patents and intellectual property rights in micro-drive technology, ZHAOWEI provides PREETO with a robust technical foundation and ensures continuous innovation. Each PREETO motor embodies this accumulated knowledge, refined through years of experimentation and application.
PREETO also benefits from ZHAOWEI’s partnerships with global universities, research institutions, and industry leaders. Joint projects explore next-generation drive technologies, such as AI-based control algorithms and ultra-light composite materials for housings.
Unlike one-off product launches, PREETO follows an iterative improvement model:
For cyclists, this R&D strength means a product that is not only reliable today but also evolves with tomorrow’s needs. Whether regulations change, terrains diversify, or technologies advance, PREETO motors are designed to stay ahead.
In short, PREETO is more than a motor — it is the result of global R&D collaboration, digital innovation, and relentless engineering discipline.
