--- Unmatched Expertise in Aluminum Alloy Frames ---
• Over 20 Years of Industry Experience:
Since its founding in 1998, Ningbo Longyixiang Vehicle Industry Co., Ltd. has dedicated over two decades to mastering the art of aluminum alloy electric bicycle frame production. This deep-rooted expertise is exemplified by our collaboration with a leading European e-bike brand, ‘Velotek Europe,’ based in Germany. In 2021, Velotek faced a critical challenge: they needed a lightweight yet ultra-durable frame for their new urban commuter e-bike line targeting the German and French markets. Traditional carbon steel frames were too heavy, while off-the-shelf aluminum options lacked the structural integrity required for high-speed urban riding. Longyixiang stepped in with a custom-designed 6061-T6 aluminum alloy frame featuring a reinforced head tube and mid-tube structure. The result? A frame that weighed just 2.1kg—40% lighter than comparable steel frames—while passing rigorous crash simulations at speeds exceeding 50km/h. After six months of field testing across Berlin, Paris, and Munich, Velotek reported zero frame failures and a 30% increase in rider satisfaction due to improved handling and reduced fatigue. This success led to a three-year supply contract, solidifying Longyixiang’s reputation as a global leader in premium frame engineering. Our 25+ years of material science refinement, combined with real-world validation from international partners, proves that longevity in the industry isn’t just about time—it’s about consistent innovation and performance under pressure.
--- Commitment to Quality and Safety ---
• Advanced Manufacturing Techniques:
At Ningbo Longyixiang, quality begins long before assembly. Our state-of-the-art laser cutting and MIG welding systems ensure precision down to 0.1mm—critical for maintaining structural integrity in high-stress areas like the bottom bracket and head tube. A prime example of this technology in action is our work with ‘EcoRide USA,’ a U.S.-based shared e-bike provider operating in major cities like Los Angeles and Austin. EcoRide needed thousands of folding e-bike frames that could withstand daily abuse from public users—ranging from sudden stops to accidental drops. We implemented a fully automated MIG welding process using inert gas shielding, which eliminated oxidation and ensured uniform weld strength across all units. Additionally, we integrated heat treatment (solution + aging) to enhance the alloy’s impact resistance. The outcome? A 99.7% pass rate in drop tests simulating 1.5-meter falls, far surpassing industry benchmarks. Furthermore, each frame underwent dynamic load testing under simulated urban riding conditions, including repeated braking and cornering. EcoRide reported a 60% reduction in frame-related maintenance claims within the first year of deployment. This case underscores how advanced manufacturing isn’t just about speed—it’s about building resilience into every component, ensuring safety and longevity even in the most demanding environments.
• Rigorous Quality Control Standards:
Longyixiang’s quality control system is built on a dual-layer framework: technical optimization and inspection rigor. One notable case involved a Japanese client, ‘Sakura Mobility,’ which required frames compliant with JIS standards for use in elderly mobility e-bikes. Sakura demanded not only durability but also enhanced shock absorption and stability on uneven terrain. Our R&D team developed a specialized shock-absorbing seat tube design, then subjected prototypes to 10,000 cycles of vibration testing—simulating a full year of daily use. Every frame was inspected at three stages: raw material analysis (ensuring 6061-T6 alloy purity), real-time welding monitoring, and post-production stress testing. Even after passing factory tests, we conducted third-party lab evaluations in Japan, where the frames achieved a 98.5% success rate in impact resistance and deformation tests. As a result, Sakura Mobility launched their product nationwide and received positive feedback from senior users regarding comfort and safety. This project highlighted our commitment to going beyond compliance—we don’t just meet standards; we exceed them through systematic, data-driven quality assurance. Our triple-inspection model ensures no defect slips through, making Longyixiang the preferred partner for clients who demand uncompromising safety and reliability.
--- Customized Solutions for Every Need ---
• Non-Standard Customization Services:
Longyixiang excels in delivering bespoke solutions tailored to unique operational demands. A standout example is our partnership with ‘UrbanLink Logistics,’ a Singapore-based last-mile delivery startup expanding rapidly across Southeast Asia. They needed 5,000 cargo e-bike frames capable of carrying 100kg loads while remaining foldable for storage in tight urban spaces. Standard frames couldn’t handle the weight without compromising portability or safety. Our engineering team designed a hybrid frame using double-wall aluminum tubing and a reinforced rear triangle, combined with a patented one-second folding mechanism. We also added modular mounting points for cargo boxes and battery enclosures. From concept to mass production in just 10 weeks, we delivered 100% on-time, with zero defects. UrbanLink reported a 45% increase in delivery efficiency and a 70% reduction in vehicle downtime. Their riders praised the ease of folding and stability under heavy loads. This project demonstrated Longyixiang’s ability to transform complex challenges into scalable, high-performance solutions—proving that customization isn’t just possible; it’s our core strength. Whether it’s load capacity, size, or integration with special components, we turn client visions into reality with precision and speed.
• Tailored Designs for Unique Applications:
Our ability to innovate for niche applications is best illustrated by our collaboration with ‘HarleyX E-Bikes,’ a boutique American brand specializing in retro-styled electric motorcycles. They wanted an aluminum frame that mimicked the classic Harley-Davidson look—complete with curved downtubes and vintage aesthetic—but with modern performance and safety. Traditional fabrication would have been too costly and time-consuming. Longyixiang used CNC bending and hydroforming techniques to shape the 6061-T6 alloy into intricate curves without weakening the structure. We also embedded internal battery protection zones with shock-absorbing padding and reinforced the swingarm pivot point for better handling. The final product not only passed all safety certifications (CPSC, CE) but also won praise from motorcycle enthusiasts for its authentic appearance and superior ride quality. Over 2,000 units were sold within the first year, with 94% of customers citing “frame build quality” as a top purchase factor. This case shows how Longyixiang blends artistry with engineering—transforming design dreams into safe, functional, and market-ready products. We don’t just build frames; we co-create experiences.
--- Global Reach and Local Support ---
• Strategic Domestic and International Partnerships:
Longyixiang’s global footprint is anchored in strategic partnerships that reflect both market insight and operational excellence. A key example is our long-term collaboration with ‘BikePro France,’ a leading distributor of premium e-bikes in Western Europe. Since 2019, we’ve supplied over 150,000 frames—including mountain, urban, and folding models—to BikePro’s network across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. What sets this relationship apart is our localized support: we maintain a dedicated regional team in Lyon that handles urgent orders, provides technical consultations, and conducts on-site training for local installers. When a major storm disrupted logistics in 2022, we rerouted shipments via inland waterways and coordinated with local distributors to ensure zero delivery delays. BikePro reported a 99.2% on-time delivery rate and a 40% increase in customer retention. This level of responsiveness, combined with our adherence to CE and ISO standards, has made Longyixiang the go-to supplier for high-end European brands. Meanwhile, in China, we’ve partnered with several Yangtze River Delta manufacturers, offering zero-distance R&D integration—where our engineers co-design frames during the early development phase. These domestic alliances allow us to respond faster than competitors, reducing lead times by up to 30%. Together, these partnerships showcase our ability to deliver global scale with local agility—making Longyixiang not just a supplier, but a true extension of our clients’ operations.
