Home ODM Electric Scooter Manufacturer

If you already have a design, a specification, or a clear product vision, you do not need a catalog, you need a manufacturing partner that can take it from drawing to container. Our ODM service is built for brands that want a scooter no one else sells.

Send your specification

What “ODM” means at Smiles

You bring the design or specification and we make it real: engineering, tooling, certification, and mass production of a product that is exclusively yours. Unlike branding an existing model, ODM involves new development and, where the design requires it, new tooling. That is what makes it the higher-value route: you own a distinct product, not a re-badged platform.

From your drawings to mass production

  1. Concept & specification. We review your design, drawings, or requirement and align on what is feasible.
  2. Engineering. Our in-house team translates the concept into a manufacturable design.
  3. Prototyping. We build samples for your evaluation and sign-off.
  4. Tooling. Where the design calls for it, we develop the molds and fixtures.
  5. Pilot run. A controlled first batch to validate quality and assembly.
  6. Mass production. Scaled manufacturing with QC at every checkpoint.

What we can build

Frame & tooling

Custom frame geometry and the molds to produce it.

Drivetrain & battery

Motor, controller, and battery configuration to your spec.

Firmware & dashboard

Controller behavior, dashboard, and app experience.

Exclusive exterior

A fully distinct exterior that is yours alone.

If you can specify it, we can engineer toward it, and tell you honestly where the trade-offs are. For a sense of the build quality our platforms reach, the D01 is a useful reference point for the finish and engineering standard a custom program starts from.

Certifications and market compliance

A custom design is only useful if it can clear customs. We certify ODM products to the standards your markets require and build compliance into the design rather than bolting it on afterward: EN 17128 and EU speed limiting for Europe, and adapted specification and documentation for the Middle East and South America.

Capacity and track record

ODM is a commitment, so it matters who you commit to. We have built electric scooters since 2006, run our own factory and design team, and hold an annual capacity of over 450,000 units, the headroom to scale a custom program from pilot to volume without changing suppliers. That track record is why established names rely on us, including Walmart and Renault. More about the company is on the About page.

Tooling, MOQ & timeline

Custom work is genuinely custom, so the honest answer is that these depend on the project. Rather than quote a number that would not fit your design, we would rather look at your specification and give you real figures.

Tooling / mold costVaries with how much new tooling your design needs. We quote it against your specific design.
Sampling lead timeDepends on complexity. A straightforward sample can be ready in roughly 10 to 15 days; a more involved design takes longer.
MOQDepends on the degree of customization.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ODM and OEM here?

ODM means you bring the design or specification and we engineer, tool, certify, and manufacture it. OEM means you brand one of our proven, already-certified models. ODM is more custom and higher-value; OEM is faster and lower-risk.

How much is the tooling or mold fee?

It varies with the design. Some projects need new tooling, others less. We quote it against your specific drawings rather than give a fixed figure.

How long does a custom sample take?

It depends on complexity. A simple sample can be ready in about 10 to 15 days; more involved designs take longer. Send us the spec and we will give you a real timeline.

What is the minimum order quantity for ODM?

It depends on the degree of customization. Tell us your design and target volume and we will scope an MOQ that fits.

Can you handle certification for a brand-new design?

Yes. We certify ODM products to CE, EN 17128, EMC, RoHS, UN 38.3, and MSDS, and build market compliance into the design for Europe, the Middle East, and South America.
