Selecting the right OEM bicycle and e-bike assembly manufacturer can be tricky. Here are some key pointers from Oerus to help you understand what is most important.

Oerus is actively monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in Taiwan and China. As we near March, bicycle manufacturing in several regions throughout China are still shutdown. Meanwhile in Taiwan, factories have already been active for weeks following the Chinese New Year holiday.

Where should electric bikes be manufactured? The increasingly expanding e-bike market is reliant upon both Taiwan and China for ensuring steady supply to Europe and the United States.

Over the course of several months now, we have steadily seen the availability of AL7005 series aluminum alloy used commonly for bicycle frame production become constrained.

After only one day Oerus blogged about the benefits of maintaining a backup option for carbon fiber manufacturing in China, we read about American tariff exemptions for China-made carbon fiber frames under US$600.

We are seeing more and more carbon fiber manufacturers from China setting up new factories in Southeast Asia, in particular Vietnam and Myanmar . Will quality, lead time, and price improve? What are the implications regarding the political stability of these Southeast Asian nations? What will happen to carbon fiber manufacturers in China who have been dominating frame, components, and wheel production for the last decade?

Latest data from Europe indicates a massive 90% drop in ebikes originating from China. Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Turkey are making up the difference.

We know it’s easy to find bike manufacturing suppliers online. How do you ensure their quality?

Almost all major manufacturing sectors are moving some production out of China. What’s going to happen with the bicycle frame manufacturers?

Electric motors and systems made in China are increasingly under scrutiny. It’s time for brands to source from suppliers who produce high performance ebikes and eMTBs product not made in China.
