From Manufacturing to Innovation: The R&D Strength Behind PREETO

  30 9 月, 2025

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.

Strong R&D Foundation

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.

Digital Engineering Tools

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.

Patents and Intellectual Property

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.

Collaborative Ecosystem

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.

Continuous Improvement

Unlike one-off product launches, PREETO follows an iterative improvement model:

  • Each generation of products incorporates real-world rider feedback.
  • Updates are delivered through hardware refinements and firmware upgrades.
  • Future-proofing ensures adaptability to evolving market regulations and rider expectations.

Rider Benefits

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.
