Steering Sensor Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Budget Line
Steering Sensor Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Budget Line
This is a worked specification for steering sensor in a budget line 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 budget line 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 inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Steering Sensor |
|---|---|
| Application | Scooter Fleets |
| Version | Budget Line |
| Base material | Sintered Metal |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 500 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | DOT |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Sintered Metal, 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
- rubber vulcanisation
- assembly line testing
- die casting
- surface grinding
- CNC machining
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run budget line most often specify this build for scooter fleets. Related applications include utility trailers, assembly programmes, boat trailers, camper conversions, passenger cars.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
