Manufacturing you can trust

Bringing a private-label bike or eBike to market requires more than a good product. It requires confidence that your manufacturing partners, production processes and products meet the relevant quality, safety and compliance requirements.

At Reid, we work with established manufacturing partners across Cambodia, Bangladesh and China, supported by independent audits, recognised certifications and product testing to help deliver reliable products for global markets.

Quality & compliance from factory to finished product

Bringing a private-label bike to market means more than developing a great product. It means ensuring the product, manufacturing process and supply chain meet the requirements of your target market.

Independent product testing

We work with internationally recognised testing organisations including SGS, Intertek and UL, depending on the product and target market. Testing requirements are considered during product development to help ensure the correct specifications and components are selected from the outset.

Compliance for your target market

Certification requirements vary depending on where your products will be sold. We work with private-label partners to understand their target markets and incorporate the relevant testing and compliance requirements into the product development process.
