In the competitive e-mobility market, brands face a critical balancing act: delivering innovative, high-quality products while maintaining profitability. Many ODM partnerships struggle here, sacrificing either quality for lower costs or inflating prices to ensure excellence. PXID has redefined this dynamic by making strategic cost optimization the cornerstone of its ODM services. For over a decade, we’ve proven that exceptional design and manufacturing don’t require excessive spending—instead, they thrive through intelligent cost management integrated into every stage of development. This approach has helped clients achieve remarkable sales success while maintaining healthy margins, setting PXID apart as the ODM partner that delivers both quality and value.
Cost Intelligence in Early Design Stages
The most impactful cost savings aren’t found in cutting corners—they’re engineered into products from the very start. At PXID, our 40+ member R&D team integrates cost analysis into the earliest design phases, ensuring every decision balances performance, aesthetics, and affordability. Unlike traditional ODMs that prioritize design first and cost later, we use data-driven insights from 200+ completed projects to identify cost-efficient materials, simplify manufacturing processes, and eliminate unnecessary features without compromising functionality.
This approach transformed our S6 magnesium alloy e-bike project. By selecting magnesium alloy over heavier materials during the design phase, we reduced both production costs and final product weight—enhancing performance while lowering manufacturing expenses. The result? A premium e-bike that entered major retailers like Costco and Walmart, sold 20,000 units across 30+ countries, and generated $150 million in revenue—all while maintaining impressive profit margins. Our design team’s ability to marry cost intelligence with innovation is backed by 38 utility patents and 52 design patents, proving that cost optimization and creativity can thrive together.
Vertical Integration: Controlling Costs Through In-House Capabilities
One of the biggest drains on ODM budgets is reliance on third-party suppliers, which introduces markups, delays, and quality inconsistencies. PXID eliminated this issue by building a vertically integrated manufacturing ecosystem centered in our 25,000㎡ smart factory, established in 2023. Housing in-house mold shops, CNC machining centers, injection molding lines, and automated assembly stations, we control every critical production step—from raw material processing to final assembly.
This integration delivers significant cost advantages. For example, when fulfilling Wheels’ order for 80,000 shared e-scooters (a $250 million project), our in-house tooling team designed and produced molds directly, avoiding supplier markups and reducing lead times by 40%. Similarly, our ability to handle heat treatment, welding, and painting internally eliminated transportation costs and quality control gaps. For clients like Urent, which needed 30,000 shared scooters in just 9 months, this vertical control meant meeting tight deadlines at a per-unit cost 15% lower than industry averages—proving that ownership of the production chain drives both efficiency and savings.
Modular Design: Reducing Costs Through Scalability
PXID’s modular design philosophy is another key to cost optimization. By developing standardized, interchangeable components that work across multiple product lines, we reduce tooling costs, simplify production, and enable clients to expand their offerings without reinventing the wheel. This approach minimizes the need for custom molds and specialized manufacturing processes, lowering upfront investment while increasing flexibility.
For example, our shared mobility platform uses modular battery housings and frame components that can be adapted for both e-scooters and e-bikes. This means clients launching multiple products benefit from shared tooling and production lines, cutting development costs by 30% compared to custom designs. Retail partners appreciate this too—modular designs allow for easy updates to features like displays or lighting without overhauling the entire product, keeping their offerings fresh while controlling inventory costs. This scalability was instrumental in our Bugatti co-branded e-scooter’s success, which leveraged modular electronics to achieve 17,000 units sold in its first year at a competitive price point.
Transparent BOM Management: No Surprises, Just Savings
Cost overruns often stem from hidden expenses in the supply chain, but PXID’s transparent BOM (Bill of Materials) system eliminates this uncertainty. From the initial design phase, clients receive detailed breakdowns of material costs, supplier pricing, and production expenses—with real-time updates as projects progress. This visibility allows for informed decisions about material substitutions, feature adjustments, or production scaling, ensuring budgets stay on track.
Our BOM management proved invaluable for a startup client launching its first e-mobility product. By identifying cost-saving opportunities in battery selection and motor components through the transparent BOM, we helped the client reduce per-unit costs by 12% without altering performance targets. The result was a product that hit its price point for target consumers and achieved profitability in its first year. This level of transparency has earned PXID long-term partnerships with industry leaders, who value our commitment to honest, data-driven cost management.
Proven Results: Cost Optimization That Drives Growth
PXID’s focus on strategic cost optimization has delivered measurable results across our portfolio. Our clients consistently report 10-20% lower production costs compared to previous ODM partnerships, while achieving higher sales volumes thanks to competitive pricing. This success has earned us recognition as a Jiangsu Provincial "Specialized, Refined, Peculiar, and Innovative" Enterprise and a National High-Tech Enterprise—credentials that validate our balance of quality and efficiency.
In e-mobility, where price sensitivity meets rising consumer expectations, PXID’s cost-optimized ODM approach isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity. We don’t just manufacture products; we engineer value into every component, process, and partnership. Whether you’re launching a premium e-bike, scaling a shared mobility fleet, or expanding a retail lineup, PXID provides the cost intelligence and manufacturing control to turn your vision into a profitable reality.
