Much higher level of quality
Tonin points at the relatively straightforward issue of scale as a potential hurdle for newcomers. “Companies may be able to produce parts in thousands, where the market asks for ten or even a hundred times as many. Such is the rate of growth in the micromobility market. hGears have all the required tools and know-how to provide them with additional manufacturing capacity.” Secondly, says Tonin, comes build quality. “The current direction of the e-bike industry requires a much higher level of quality, as people want value for money and their expectations are rising. Imagine your car being built like many bikes are nowadays, would you be happy?”
“Such are the new demands that every part has to be inch-perfect. Of course, that’s what every manufacturer aims for, but in reality many companies with great product and marketing ideas simply do not have the resources and/ or the know-how to manage volume scale up programs with automotive standards.”
Fast and flexible
As Tonin emphasises, it’s a matter of being fast and flexible. “We are very proud to be part of this innovation process. The future will bring us new and exciting developments in micromobility. Bikes will become lighter, new materials will be used. It is time to join forces and hGears provides those who are willing to benefit from our expertise with great opportunities to expand into this field!
