Mechanical Hand Brake Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Folding Type
Mechanical Hand Brake Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for mechanical hand brake in a folding type 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 folding type 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 reorders that did not match the approved sample.
Example specification
| Item | Mechanical Hand Brake |
|---|---|
| Application | Scooter Fleets |
| Version | Folding Type |
| Base material | Carbon Fibre Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | SAE J431 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Carbon Fibre Composite, 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
- precision stamping
- sintering
- shot blasting
- assembly line testing
- ultrasonic cleaning
- cold forging
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for scooter fleets. Related applications include municipal fleets, aftermarket retail, rental motorcycles, agricultural trailers, construction equipment.
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 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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SAE J431-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
