DFM Rules for Electric Two-Wheelers
Design for Manufacturing rules our engineering team applies to every custom project. Following these from the start eliminates tooling revisions and shortens time-to-sample.
- Wall thickness 2.0-3.5 mm for ABS shrouds — thinner walls risk sink marks on visible surfaces; thicker walls increase cycle time and material cost without structural benefit.
- Minimum 5-degree draft angle on all molded parts — insufficient draft causes die-lock during ejection, damaging both the part and the tool. Textured surfaces require 1-degree additional draft per 0.025 mm texture depth.
- Weld joints minimum 15 mm from tube bends — placing welds too close to bend radii creates heat-affected zone overlap, reducing fatigue strength at the frame's highest-stress points by up to 40%.
- All wire harness connectors must use IP65-rated automotive-grade sealed types — moisture ingress through unsealed connectors is the leading cause of field electrical failures in humid and tropical markets.
- Battery housing must allow 2 mm clearance around cells for thermal expansion — cells swell 0.5-1.2 mm during charge/discharge cycling. Zero-clearance packs risk internal short circuits after 200+ cycles.
- Brake hose routing must avoid sharp edges — minimum bend radius 35 mm. Contact with frame edges under vibration causes abrasion wear; any unavoidable edge contact requires EDPM grommet protection.

Artwork Checklist: What to Send and When
Use this checklist to ensure your branding deliverables are complete and correctly formatted before they reach our production team. Missing or incorrectly formatted artwork is the number one cause of sample delays — every item on this list has tripped up at least one of our past projects.
| Deliverable | Required Format | Deadline / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Logo vector file | AI (Illustrator) or CDR (CorelDRAW) | Before sample production. All fonts must be converted to outlines. Include both full-color and single-color (white/black) versions. Minimum stroke weight 0.5 pt for screen printing and 1.0 pt for pad printing on frame surfaces. |
| Pantone color codes | Pantone Solid Coated formula guide reference | Before sample production. Specify Pantone numbers for frame base color, decal colors, and any accent trim. Include desired finish: gloss (>80 GU), satin (30-50 GU), or matte (<10 GU). RAL codes accepted as secondary reference only — we match to Pantone as the primary standard. |
| Frame decal artwork | AI / CDR 1:1 scale with outlined fonts | Before sample production. Provide separate layers for each decal position: downtube left/right, head tube, chainstay, seat tube, top tube. Include precise placement measurements — distance from head tube center, distance from bottom bracket center, orientation angle. CMYK color space with Pantone spot color references. |
| Display boot screen | PNG-24 with alpha channel at display native resolution | Before sample production. Common display resolutions: 800x480 px (4.0" LCD), 480x320 px (3.5" LCD), 128x64 px (monochrome LED). Provide both a boot logo (shown for 2-3 seconds at power-on) and a persistent brand element if supported by the display firmware. Maximum file size 256 KB. |
| Packaging artwork | AI or PDF, 300 DPI, CMYK, 3 mm bleed | Before mass production (can follow sample approval). Carton dieline template provided by EBIKE after model confirmation — artwork must fit within the dieline's safe area. Include: brand logo, model name, handling symbols, SKU barcode area, and any required regulatory markings (CE, WEEE, UKCA). Color proof required for first production run. |
| User manual content | DOCX or INDD with layered language versions | Before mass production. Provide English source text minimum. Multi-language manuals should be supplied as separate language layers in the same INDD file or as separate DOCX files per language. Standard manual structure: safety warnings, assembly instructions, operation guide, maintenance schedule, warranty terms, compliance declarations. |
| Brand guideline document | PDF brand book or style guide | Before sample production (strongly recommended). Include: logo usage rules (clear space, minimum size, incorrect usage examples), typography specifications (primary and secondary fonts with fallback stacks), color palette with HEX/RGB/CMYK/Pantone values, photography style reference. This document resolves 90% of branding questions without back-and-forth email chains. |
All artwork files should be shared via WeTransfer, Google Drive, or Dropbox link in your initial requirements email. Our design team reviews files within 2 business days and confirms format compatibility or requests corrections. Delayed artwork is the single most common reason samples slip past their 12-18 day timeline — sending complete, correctly formatted files on day one keeps your project on schedule.
