PXID P5 Wins Awards with Magnesium Die-Cast Frame

E-bike ODM 2026-03-18

As a two-wheel mobility manufacturer driven by industrial design and engineering innovation, PXID follows a Design-Driven Manufacturing philosophy. The company has built a complete industry chain covering original product design, engineering development, and large-scale manufacturing.

The PXID P5 is a high-performance all-terrain fat tire electric bike designed for both urban commuting and outdoor exploration. The model integrates a magnesium alloy one-piece die-cast frame, a high-performance drive system, and a modular battery architecture, achieving a balance between power performance, structural strength, and industrial aesthetics.

PXID offers two versions of the P5: fat-tire and narrow-tire configurations. The fat-tire model is currently available in Nordic markets, while the narrow-tire version is expected to enter Russia, the United States, and China in mid-2026.

International Recognition: Multiple Global Design Awards

Thanks to its innovative magnesium alloy die-cast frame structure, clear industrial design language, and user-friendly interaction experience, the PXID P5 has received several international design awards, including:

● Golden Pin Design Award 2022

● Contemporary Good Design Award (CGD) 2022

These recognitions highlight PXID’s commitment to integrating engineering innovation with modern industrial design in the global e-mobility sector.

Core Technology: Magnesium Alloy Integrated Die-Casting Frame Process

PXID P5 adopts a magnesium alloy die-casting frame process,achieving a stable engineering balance between lightweight structural design, overall rigidity, and industrial design performance.

The density of magnesium alloy is approximately 1.74–1.85 g/cm³, which is about 30–35% lower than aluminum alloy (2.70 g/cm³)Under the same structural strength design conditions, magnesium alloy frames can significantly reduce the overall vehicle weight, thereby improving riding efficiency and energy utilization of electric bikes.

Integrated die-casting technology is being increasingly adopted in high-end manufacturing industries. For example, in the automotive industry, large-scale die-casting processes can reduce more than 70 welded parts into 1–2 integrated components, effectively improving structural strength and reducing manufacturing complexity.

●Stronger structural integrityThe integrated die-cast structure reduces welding joints, making force distribution more uniform. Compared with traditional welded frames, it can reduce structural connection points by over 30%, lowering fatigue risk.

● Lighter frame weight: Magnesium alloy density is about 35% lower than aluminum alloy, achieving a 21.8% weight reduction and improving overall performance by over 10%, enabling higher range efficiency under the same battery capacity.

● Better impact resistance and corrosion resistanceWith anodizing and anti-corrosion coatings, the frame can maintain stable performance after over 240 hours of salt spray testing, suitable for snow, coastal, and humid environments.

Modular Battery: Balancing Range and Usability

PXID P5 adopts an integrated high-capacity lithium battery system, achieving a high level of integration between the battery and frame in the e-bike structure. The standard battery configuration is 48V 20Ahwith total energy of 960Wh. (In the e-bike industry, battery capacity above 900Wh is generally considered long-range level.)

● IPX5 waterproof structure:The battery compartment adopts a sealed design, ensuring stable operation in rainy and humid environments.

 ●BMS battery management system: Provides overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, short-circuit protection, temperature protection, and cell balancing management to ensure stable output under different temperature conditions.

 ●Supports external battery expansionProvides more stable range support for long-distance riding and outdoor exploration scenarios.

All-Terrain Riding Performance: Fat Tire and Narrow Tire Versions

PXID P5 provides both fat tire off-road version and narrow tire commuting version to meet different riding environment requirements.

Fat tire version (24 × 4.0 inch):Maintains stable riding performance under complex road conditions, provides stronger grip, and absorbs more ground impact at low tire pressure, improving comfort.

Narrow tire version (27.5 × 2.4 inch)More suitable for urban commuting, with lower rolling resistance and higher riding efficiency.

With these two configurations, PXID P5 enables flexible switching between city riding and outdoor off-road scenarios.
