E-bike frame
By applying the FMEA model, we have improved the ‘critical’ points of the Mokumono design – from the perspective of our production process. Minimal adjustments and some small details have resulted in a stable production process and a positive effect on the quality and final cost price. In addition, we work with local and small calibres during the second press. This keeps tooling costs low. An excellent example of the triad of excellence within our rubber pad forming technique (design, functionality, and costs).
The requirement
Bob and Tom ended up at Phoenix 3D Metaal with an equally concrete and clear starting point: we believe in local production, because it allows us to reduce (unnecessarily) polluted transport systems. Better for the environment and better for nature. At Mokumono we have designed a (bike) frame from sheet metal and are now looking for a manufacturer who can advise and support us with the manufacturability. Even more concrete: can you convert ‘our design’ into a technically feasible product that we can put on the market for a competitive price?

The competitive advantage
An excellent example of the triad of excellence within our rubber pad forming technique (design, functionality, and costs). Because in the Mokumono bicycle, absolutely everything comes together. Not a single compromise has been made on functionality and everything for a competitive price A picture, although we say it ourselves and many agree with us (see the online reviews). As a cycling country, the Netherlands is truly a gem richer!
