As urbanization accelerates, traffic congestion and environmental pollution have become pressing global challenges. Electric bicycles (e-bikes), with their convenience and eco-friendly nature, are emerging as an ideal solution for the "last-mile" problem.
Recently, PREETO, the flagship mid-drive motor brand of ZW Drive GmbH—a German subsidiary of Shenzhen Zhaowei Machinery & Electronics Co., Ltd.—launches an ultra-light e-bike drive motor PREETO P60 angled specially at this corner of the cycling community. Harnessing the parent company’s advanced technology and manufacturing expertise, PREETO delivers innovative and reliable e-bike system solutions.
For many urban residents, the bulk and limited portability of e-bikes present significant challenges, particularly for those living in compact spaces or buildings without elevators. The PREETO P60, possessing a weight of 1.95kg and compact dimensions of 147x111x167mm, can reduce the overall weight of e-bikes, bringing them on par with traditional bicycles without sacrificing performance.
With the combination portability and exceptional performance, the P60 delivers a peak torque of 60Nm and a maximum power output of 550W, allowing riders to enjoy a smooth, powerful ride while benefiting from the agility of a lightweight design. By enhancing portability and maneuverability, the PREETO P60 makes it easier for city dwellers to handle and store their bikes, offering a seamless blend of power, agility, and convenience for modern urban lifestyles.
The shift to eco-friendly transportation is now a global imperative. Studies show that replacing just 10% of car trips with e-bike journeys can reduce carbon emissions by approximately 11%. PREETO’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its products. The company has achieved ISO14001 environmental management certification, ensuring compliance with international standards for pollution prevention, continuous improvement, and eco-friendly operations.
Moreover, PREETO’s parent company, Shenzhen Zhaowei Machinery & Electronics, has been recognized as a National Green Factory in China—a testament to its dedication to integrating sustainable, green, low-carbon, and environmentally-friendly practices into every aspect of its production and operations.
While e-bikes offer undeniable environmental and practical benefits, safety concerns have emerged as a priority for both manufacturers and riders. PREETO has made safety a cornerstone of the P60’s design. The drive unit is designed to meet stringent international safety standards (EN15194-2017) and undergo rigorous part- and system-level reliability testing to ensure top-tier performance. Besides, the motor’s advanced software algorithms account for potential failure scenarios, such as overcurrent, overload, and overvoltage, and precisely detect riders‘’ intentions and road conditions, providing millisecond-level responsiveness for a seamless and safe ride.
To further advance security features, PREETO’s engineers are developing anti-theft technology and an Auto Hold function that prevents slippage on slopes—both of which greatly enhance rider confidence and safety.
As cities increasingly grow and shift toward sustainable transportation solutions, the PREETO P60 is already making a tangible impact. With urban mobility at a critical turning point, the P60 offers a timely and practical solution to some of the most pressing challenges faced by e-bike manufacturers today.
