OHM Design Studio — Cargo SR platform in real-world use

20+ Years in Production · Bosch & Shimano Certified Integrator · UL 2849 & TÜV Certified

Available Platforms

Production-Proven, Not Conceptual

Most design consultancies sell future capability. We offer something different: platforms built on proven designs that have been tested, certified, and manufactured — ready for your brand.

OHM Urban Platform — daily commuter and fitness e-bike
Urban Series · Young Professionals

Urban Platform

Built for two of the strongest e-bike buyer segments — young professionals commuting daily, and active retirees riding for fitness and exploration. Step-thru and step-over geometries, integrated rack and lighting mounts, suspension-corrected configurations.

OHM Cargo SR Platform — compact short-rail cargo e-bike
Short Rail Cargo · Young Riders

Cargo SR Platform

Purpose-built for the next generation of urban riders. Compact 20" frame, low standover, integrated rear rack — the silhouette that's redefining what a daily bike looks like for younger riders entering the e-bike category.

How We Work

From Platform to Production

We don't hand over drawings. Our team supports the full arc from platform adaptation to container-ready production.

01

Frame Engineering

Adapt proven geometry or develop custom platforms. FEA-validated designs optimized for your target rider and use case.

02

Drive Integration

Bosch and Shimano certified integrator. Motor mounting, battery housing, harness routing, and system validation to UL 2849 standards.

03

Component Spec

Complete BOM development — brakes, drivetrain, wheels, cockpit, lighting — specified for your price point and performance targets.

04

Production

Established factory relationships and QC protocols. Prototype through production run, containerization, and logistics.

Why OHM

The Difference Between a Concept and a Shipping Product

Their Pitch

Design consultancies sell possibility.

Most firms offer to design a bike for you — future capability requiring 18–24 months of development, tooling investment, and certification before a single unit ships.

Our Position

We offer production-proven reality.

The development risk is retired. The factory relationships are established and production-ready. You're buying proven IP, not a development timeline.

  • Twenty years designing for Canadian conditions — not adapted European models or budget imports
  • Purpose-built commuter, utility, and cargo geometry — not sport bikes with accessories bolted on
  • Bosch and Shimano certified integrator — UL 2849 & TÜV safety compliance already completed
