It also works with strict quality checks, such as random inspections of incoming parts and first-article confirmation before mass production, while operating flexible production capacity, dedicated e-bike lines and automated processes like robotic painting and labeling. On the R&D side, the company uses 3D printing for rapid prototyping and runs a range of tests to meet global regulations.
