Forged Rim Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: All-Weather Version
Forged Rim Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: All-Weather Version
This is a worked specification for forged rim in a all-weather version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The all-weather version version exists because the duty cycle on scooter fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually warranty claims traced back to a single lot.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Brass, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- gravity casting
- injection moulding
- cold forging
- shot blasting
- electroplating
- assembly line testing
Where this example applies
Programmes that run all-weather version most often specify this build for scooter fleets. Related applications include courier fleets, rental motorcycles, utility trailers, racing teams, municipal fleets.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO/TS 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
