In the fast-shifting e-mobility industry, many ODMs treat partnerships as one-and-done projects: deliver a product, close the deal, and move on. But for brands aiming to sustain success, this transactional approach falls short. PXiD has redefined the ODM role by focusing on long-term product lifecycle partnerships—supporting clients not just through design and production, but through post-launch iterations, market adaptations, and ongoing supply chain resilience. For over a decade, this commitment has turned one-time projects into multi-year collaborations, helping clients grow from niche players to market leaders with products that evolve alongside consumer needs.
Post-Launch Iteration: Keeping Products Competitive
A product’s success doesn’t end at launch—it depends on how well it adapts to feedback and trends. PXiD’s partnership model includes proactive post-launch support, using real-world data to refine products and extend their market lifespan. Take our work on the S6 magnesium alloy e-bike, for example: after its initial launch (which saw 20,000 units sold across 30+ countries and placement in Costco and Walmart), we collected retailer and consumer feedback on battery life and handlebar ergonomics. Within six months, our 40+ R&D team rolled out a targeted upgrade—optimizing the battery management system to boost range by 15% and redesigning the handlebars for better comfort. This iteration kept the S6 competitive two years after its debut, driving an additional $50 million in sales and solidifying its status as a top-selling model.
This approach isn’t unique to consumer products. For shared mobility client Wheels, we continued refining their 80,000-unit e-scooter fleet (a $250 million project) after deployment. By analyzing usage data—like frequent wear on front forks in urban areas—we adjusted the alloy composition to increase durability, cutting maintenance costs for Wheels by 22% and extending the scooters’ operational lifespan from 18 to 24 months.
Supply Chain Resilience: Avoiding Disruptions for Long-Term Growth
Nothing derails a brand’s momentum like supply chain gaps. PXiD mitigates this risk by integrating clients into our robust, in-house supply chain—built around our 25,000㎡ smart factory, which houses mold shops, CNC machining centers, and injection molding lines. Unlike ODMs that rely on third-party suppliers, we control critical components, ensuring consistent availability even during market fluctuations.
When global magnesium alloy shortages hit the e-mobility sector in 2024, this resilience became a lifeline for our clients. For Urent—with whom we’d produced 30,000 shared scooters in 9 months—we leveraged our pre-negotiated material contracts and in-house inventory to avoid production delays. While competitors faced 6-week shutdowns, Urent’s scooter deliveries continued on schedule, allowing them to expand into three new U.S. cities. Our transparent supply chain communication—including real-time updates on material lead times via our digital BOM system—also helped clients plan inventory, preventing stockouts during peak demand seasons.
Market Adaptation: Navigating Regional Shifts
As e-mobility regulations and consumer preferences vary by region, PXiD’s partnership model includes tailoring products to new markets—turning single-region successes into global ones. For a client selling the S6 e-bike in North America, we adapted the model for the European market by adjusting motor power to meet EN 15194 standards and adding integrated lights for compliance with EU safety rules. This adaptation required minimal retooling (thanks to our modular design approach) and allowed the client to enter 12 European countries within a year, doubling their global revenue.
We also help clients capitalize on emerging trends. When demand for connected e-mobility features spiked in 2023, we integrated IoT tracking and app connectivity into existing models for multiple clients—including the Bugatti co-branded e-scooter, which saw a 30% sales boost after adding real-time battery monitoring. This ability to pivot quickly keeps clients ahead of competitors without the cost of developing entirely new products.
Trust Through Transparency: The Foundation of Long Partnerships
Long-term collaboration thrives on trust, which PXiD builds through radical transparency. From day one, clients have access to our digital project management tools, including real-time BOM updates, production timelines, and quality control reports. For tech giant Lenovo—our partner on a line of business-focused e-bikes—this transparency meant they could track every stage of development, from prototype testing to final assembly. When a minor issue with motor wiring was detected during pre-production, we shared the problem, solution, and revised timeline within 24 hours—avoiding surprises and reinforcing confidence in our process.
This trust has led to partnerships that span years, not months. Lenovo has expanded its collaboration with PXiD to three product lines, while Wheels renewed their contract for an additional 50,000 scooters. Our credentials—including National High-Tech Enterprise certification and 38 utility patents—further validate our reliability, giving clients peace of mind that they’re partnering with a stable, innovative ODM.
In e-mobility, where longevity matters more than quick wins, PXiD’s lifecycle partnership model is a game-changer. We don’t just build products—we build relationships that help clients grow, adapt, and succeed for years. Whether you’re launching your first e-bike, scaling a shared fleet, or expanding globally, PXiD provides the ongoing support, resilience, and flexibility to turn short-term success into long-term leadership.
Partner with PXiD, and let’s build a product—and a partnership—that lasts.
