Wholesale & Distributor Program

BLDC Motor Wholesale — Volume Pricing, Distributor Tiers, FOB Ningbo Direct Factory.

Volume buyers, regional distributors, motor resellers, e-mobility and AGV component distributors source BLDC motors from Shenghe direct factory at Cixi, Ningbo on published volume tiers — not retail unit pricing dressed up as "wholesale". Tiered pricing kicks in at 100 / 500 / 1,000 / 5,000+ units per SKU; eight highest-runner SKUs held in stock with a 25–35 day lead-time SLA written into the PI; container loading planned by the export desk on the load list. Distributor program runs in three tiers from Authorized Reseller (no territorial exclusivity, USD 50k+/yr) to Master Distributor (hard country/region exclusivity, USD 500k+/yr, joint marketing budget, first-look on new SKU launches). Direct factory means no trader margin layered on top, and the lead-time SLA is enforceable — 1% rebate on the next order if Shenghe misses the agreed delivery date without justified cause. Cixi sits 20 minutes from Ningbo-Zhoushan port (the world's #1 cargo throughput port), which keeps inland-haul friction off your container schedule.

Direct factory — no trader margin — wholesale price = factory FOB, not "factory price + 15%" Lead-time SLA written into the PI — 1% rebate next order if Shenghe misses without justified cause Stocked-SKU 25–35 day delivery — eight highest-runner SKUs rotated monthly 20 minutes to Ningbo-Zhoushan port — world's #1 cargo throughput, daily container drop

For Volume Buyers, Regional Distributors, Component Resellers

Wholesale Without The Trader Layer.

Most BLDC motor "wholesale" pricing on the market is a trading company quoting a 10–15% margin on top of the factory's FOB. Shenghe is the factory — the wholesale price on the PI is the factory FOB, not a marked-up reseller quote. Volume tiers are published not negotiated case-by-case, distributor program is documented with a written agreement template, and the stocked-SKU rotation is reviewed quarterly against actual demand so the lead-time SLA stays honest. Direct factory also means traceability — every motor has a lot number tied back to the production batch, the QA test record, and the BOM the production line ran. Documentation pack travels with every container.

  • Published volume tiers (100 / 500 / 1,000 / 5,000+) — one PI line, automatic tier price, no haggling theatre
  • Three-tier distributor program with written agreement — Authorized Reseller, Regional Distributor, Master Distributor
  • Stock-backed lead-time SLA on the eight highest-runner SKUs — 25–35 days from PO to FOB on orders up to 1,000 units
  • Branded carton, your-letterhead datasheet, drop-ship under your brand — distributor branding follows the OEM workflow
Volume Pricing Tiers

Published Tiers — Automatic Price Step Per SKU.

Wholesale tier indices below are illustrative — the absolute price depends on SKU (voltage, power, frame, gearbox, encoder option) and is sent on the PI inside one working day after the inquiry. The tier multiplier shows the relationship between tiers: each tier triggers an automatic step against the tier-1 (100-unit) index price for the same SKU. No back-and-forth haggling, no "send your target price" theatre — the tier is the tier.

TierOrder quantity per SKUPrice index vs Tier 1Lead time SLA (stocked SKU)Lead time SLA (non-stocked)Notes
Tier 1 — Pilot 100–499 units 1.00× (baseline) 25–35 days 35–50 days Entry wholesale tier; no trader margin, but no volume rebate yet
Tier 2 — Wholesale 500–999 units ~0.92–0.95× 25–35 days 35–50 days Standard wholesale tier — most regional resellers and distributors stock at this volume
Tier 3 — Bulk 1,000–4,999 units ~0.88–0.92× 35–50 days 45–65 days Bulk tier; container-load economics kick in (one 20GP often fills a single SKU at this volume)
Tier 4 — High Volume 5,000+ units ~0.83–0.88× Production-slot booking Production-slot booking Master Distributor and Tier-1 brand customers; batched shipments every 2–3 weeks; first batch 25–35 days

Mixed-SKU orders qualify for the tier of the total quantity if SKUs are from the same family (e.g., 60 units of one 48V SKU + 60 units of another 48V SKU = 120 units in Tier 1). Cross-family mixing reviewed by the export desk on inquiry. Tier multipliers are typical bands — exact multiplier depends on the specific SKU's BOM cost structure and is locked on the PI before PO.

Distributor Program

Three Tiers — Annual Target, Territorial Treatment, Support Bundle.

The distributor program documents the relationship in a written agreement, not a verbal handshake. The three tiers are the standard escalation path most successful Shenghe distributors run — start as Authorized Reseller, prove out volume and territory development, escalate to Regional Distributor with soft territorial protection, escalate to Master Distributor with hard exclusivity once the territory is producing the agreed annual volume. Agreement is bilateral with defined exit clauses on both sides.

TierAnnual purchase targetTerritorial treatmentPricingSupport included
Authorized Reseller USD 50,000+/year None — Shenghe may onboard other resellers in the same territory Standard wholesale tier (per order quantity) Product datasheets, technical support email, listing on Shenghe partner page on request
Regional Distributor USD 200,000+/year Soft territorial protection — Shenghe notifies you before onboarding a competing distributor in the same country/region Distributor-tier pricing — roughly 5–8% below Tier 3 (1,000-unit wholesale) Joint webinar / online training on motor selection, marketing-asset library (datasheets, images, application notes, video), priority technical support
Master Distributor USD 500,000+/year Hard territorial exclusivity in defined country / region / vertical — bidirectional commitment Master-tier pricing — negotiated against the annual volume forecast and stock-holding agreement Joint marketing budget, first-look on new SKU launches, stock holding agreement (Shenghe holds buffer for your forecast), on-site distributor training, regional event support

Distributor agreement is a written contract with a 12-month evaluation period before territorial exclusivity is confirmed. Agreement spells out the territory boundary (country, region, vertical), annual target, review process, exit clauses for both sides, and the IP / brand-protection language. Contact the export desk for the agreement template and to discuss your annual volume forecast.

Stocked SKUs & Lead-Time SLA

Eight Highest-Runner SKUs Held In Stock — Rotated Monthly.

The stocked-SKU list is reviewed quarterly against actual demand from wholesale, distributor and OEM customers, and rotated monthly inside the warehouse so inventory doesn't age. Stocked SKUs are the workhorses across the most-asked voltage/power combinations — they're not the only motors Shenghe makes, but they're the ones that match 70% of inquiries. If your volume forecast justifies adding a different SKU into the stock rotation, the export desk negotiates that on the distributor agreement.

SKU familyVoltage / PowerFrameTypical applicationStock-backed lead time
24V 250W BLDC 24V / 200–250W 57BL frame Light AGV, lab automation, conveyor, packaging 25–35 days (≤1,000u)
24V 400W BLDC gear motor 24V / 400W with planetary gearbox 57BL + 57P planetary Conveyor drive, sortation, automatic door 25–35 days (≤1,000u)
36V 350W BLDC 36V / 350W 80BL frame E-bike (250–350W class), light scooter, mobility scooter 25–35 days (≤1,000u)
48V 750W BLDC 48V / 750W 80BL / 90BL frame AGV traction, e-cargo bike, light EV, industrial pump 25–35 days (≤1,000u)
48V 1000W BLDC 48V / 1000W 90BL frame AGV traction, e-rickshaw, golf cart auxiliary 25–35 days (≤1,000u)
48V 1500W BLDC 48V / 1500W 90BL / 110BL frame Heavy AGV, e-rickshaw, light forklift, marine auxiliary 25–35 days (≤1,000u)

SKUs outside the stocked-eight run on standard 35–50 day production lead time. Browse the full catalog at BLDC Motor Hub, Gear Motor Hub and Motor Controller Hub. Lead-time SLA is written into every PI; if Shenghe misses without justified force-majeure cause, the next order receives a 1% rebate against the missed-day total. CNY (Chinese New Year) closure 1.5–2 weeks each January or February — calendar published at the start of each Q4.

Container Loading & Logistics

How Many Motors Fit Per Container — And Where They Land.

Container utilisation is one of the load-bearing line items in distributor economics — under-loading a 40HQ on the first shipment leaves 30–40% of freight cost on the table. The export desk plans the load list on the PI to maximise utilisation across mixed-SKU orders, and the warehouse photographs the loaded container before sealing so there's no dispute about how the load was built.

Frame sizeTypical motor powerPer 20GP (units)Per 40HQ (units)Notes
Small frame 50W–250W (57BL / 60BL) ~4,000–5,000 ~9,000–11,000 Carton-packed, palletised. Mixed-SKU consolidation easy.
Medium frame 300W–1,500W (80BL / 90BL) ~2,000–3,000 ~4,500–6,500 Carton-packed, palletised. Most stocked-SKU orders sit in this band.
Large frame 2kW–10kW (110BL / 130BL) ~600–1,000 ~1,400–2,200 One-up carton or floor-loaded with foam tray. Heavier per unit.
Geared variants Add gearbox to the above ~60–70% of bare-motor count ~60–70% of bare-motor count Gearbox housing reduces unit density by 30–40%.

Sea-freight transit times from Ningbo-Zhoushan: US LA 14–18d, US East 30–35d, EU Hamburg 30–35d, India Mumbai 12–15d, Australia Sydney 18–22d, Brazil Santos 35–40d, UAE Dubai 18–22d, Nigeria Lagos 30–35d. CIF and DAP quotes include the container utilisation calculation against the load list. DDP available on confirmed-volume contracts to selected destinations — confirm with the export desk against your destination customs regime and HS Code (8501.31 / 8501.32 / 8501.33 / 8501.40 cover most BLDC motor variants).

Why Source Wholesale From Shenghe

Six Reasons Distributors Stay With Shenghe Past The First Container.

The first container builds the relationship; the second through tenth containers are where distributor economics actually pay off. The reasons below are why distributors who've gone past the pilot order tend to stay — not aspirational copy, the operating reality of working with a direct factory at Cixi, Ningbo.

1. Factory FOB — No Trader Margin

Shenghe is the factory, not a sourcing agent quoting from a Yiwu wholesaler list. Wholesale price on the PI is the factory FOB, not "factory price + 12% sourcing fee". Distributors who've moved from a trading-company supplier typically see 8–15% landed-cost reduction on the same SKU once they switch to direct factory, and that gap funds the territory development the distributor is committing to.

2. Lead-Time SLA Written, Not Spoken

The lead-time SLA is on the PI and the PO — 25–35 days stocked-SKU, 35–50 days non-stocked, with a 1% next-order rebate clause if Shenghe misses without force-majeure cause. Most factories quote a lead time verbally and recalibrate when the line gets busy; the SLA on the PI keeps the recalibration honest. Force-majeure cause is defined narrowly (raw material disruption, port closure, government action) — a busier order book is not force majeure.

3. Stock-Backed Eight SKUs — Rotated Monthly

Eight highest-runner SKUs held in inventory at the Cixi warehouse, rotated monthly so stock doesn't age. Stocked-SKU orders pull from inventory for the first 1,000 units (5–10 working days from deposit clearance), production fills the rest into the same container. Distributor stock-holding agreements (Master Distributor tier) negotiate adding the distributor's priority SKU into the stocked rotation.

4. Branded Drop-Ship As Standard

Distributor branding follows the OEM workflow — your-brand carton, your-letterhead datasheet, drop-ship under your brand to your end customer with no Shenghe branding visible on shipment documents. Most distributors run drop-ship after the first one or two consolidated orders into their own warehouse, once the SKU mix stabilises. See /oem-bldc-motor/ for the branded-shipment process detail.

5. Documentation Pack Travels With Every Container

Every container ships with: per-unit end-of-line test record (no-load current, no-load speed, Hall sequence, resistance per phase, dielectric strength), lot traceability records linking each motor to a production batch, material certificates, ISO 9001 / CE / RoHS DoC on customer letterhead for branded shipments. Distributors selling into regulated markets (medical, EU, North America) reuse the documentation pack in their own quality dossier — no extra request, no extra fee.

6. 20 Minutes To Ningbo-Zhoushan Port

Cixi sits 20 minutes from Ningbo-Zhoushan, the world's #1 cargo throughput port. Daily container drops, no inland-haul lottery, no surprise 3-day truck delay between an inland factory and the port of loading. The port-proximity advantage shows up in landed-cost calculations as a tighter, more predictable transit time — not a glamour sales line, just the geography of where the factory sits.

Wholesale Buyer Profiles

The Six Buyer Profiles Shenghe Already Runs Wholesale Lanes With.

Generic descriptors of the wholesale buyer profiles Shenghe ships to today. Reference customer list available under NDA on request — no anonymous claims, no invented logos, no false exclusivity stories.

Regional Motor Distributors

Multi-brand motor distributors in EU, North America, India, Brazil, Turkey, MENA — sell BLDC alongside AC induction, servo and stepper motors to local industrial OEMs. Typical brief: stock 6–10 SKUs across the most-asked voltage/power bands, replenish on 60–90 day cycles, drop-ship occasionally for end customers. Master Distributor tier with country exclusivity is the natural escalation once the territory hits USD 500k+/yr.

E-Mobility Component Resellers

E-bike, e-scooter, e-rickshaw and light EV component resellers — sell motor + controller + battery as a kit to vehicle assemblers and after-market shops. Typical brief: 36V/350W, 48V/750W, 48V/1000W, 72V/1000W, 72V/2000W BLDC paired with matching controllers (BLD22010 / BLD6010), shipped in carton kits. India market especially active on 48V and 72V e-rickshaw kits.

AGV System Integrators

Warehouse automation and material-handling integrators sourcing BLDC traction and steer motors plus matched controllers across multiple AGV builds. Typical brief: 24V or 48V BLDC gear motor with planetary or worm gearbox, mechanical brake, IP54 sealing, encoder for navigation feedback. Integrators source to forecast and stock against project pipeline rather than per-project — wholesale tiering matches their procurement cycle.

Industrial Supply Trading Houses

Trading houses serving regional industrial supply networks — conveyor, packaging, food processing, HVAC, irrigation. Typical brief: mixed-SKU container loads (8–15 SKUs across voltages), generic Shenghe carton or trading-house brand carton, drop-ship to end-OEM customers in the territory. Authorized Reseller tier on entry, escalates to Regional Distributor as territory volume builds.

Project Buyers — One Big Order

Distributors and system integrators with one big project (e.g., 5,000-unit AGV deployment, e-rickshaw fleet expansion, factory automation rollout) running a single high-volume order rather than continuous wholesale. Typical brief: Tier 4 (5,000+ unit) production-slot booking with batched shipments every 2–3 weeks; first batch 25–35 days; project pricing locked against the total commitment. Returns to standard wholesale tier on follow-on orders.

Online B2B Marketplace Sellers

Sellers running storefronts on Alibaba, Made-in-China, Amazon Business, Indiamart and regional B2B platforms. Typical brief: small first-order pilot (Tier 1, 100 units mixed) to validate listing demand, escalate to Tier 2/3 once monthly sales rate stabilises. Branded carton with seller logo. Shenghe doesn't sell on the marketplaces directly — sellers are the channel partner there, and the lead-time SLA on stocked SKUs lets sellers offer realistic ship-date promises.

Profiles above are descriptive — Shenghe does not name customers without written consent. Reference customer list available under NDA on request.

6-Step Wholesale Workflow

From Quote Request To Container Drop.

The standard wholesale flow Shenghe runs with new distributor and volume-buyer relationships. Defined deliverables and response windows at each step so procurement, finance and logistics on the buyer side know what's coming next.

  1. Step 1 — Wholesale quote request and tier selection (1 working day). Send the inquiry: SKU codes (or motor specs if you don't have SKUs yet — voltage, power, frame, gearbox, encoder option), per-SKU quantity for the first order, target annual volume forecast (drives the distributor tier you qualify for), destination port and Incoterm, branding requirement (generic carton, your-brand carton, drop-ship to end customer), payment-term preference. Export desk replies inside 1 working day on stocked-SKU inquiries with the tier price, lead-time SLA and PI draft.
  2. Step 2 — Sample order against the wholesale spec (5–20 days). First-time wholesale buyers run a sample order on the headline SKUs they plan to stock. Sample price is the 100-unit tier (not 1-unit retail). Sample lead time 5–10 days for stocked SKUs, 15–20 days non-stocked. Shipped DHL / FedEx / UPS — 5–7 days transit globally. Sample includes per-unit test record, datasheet, label and packaging proof matching production-batch spec.
  3. Step 3 — PO confirmation and PI signature (1–3 days). Customer issues PO against the PI. PI confirms SKU codes, per-SKU quantity, tier unit price, total order value, delivery date matching the lead-time SLA, Incoterm, payment terms, packaging spec, pallet vs floor-loaded, container size 20GP or 40HQ, deposit and balance triggers, force-majeure clause, lead-time SLA penalty (1% rebate next order if Shenghe misses without justified cause). 30% T/T deposit triggers production-slot booking.
  4. Step 4 — Production with stock pull or fresh build. Stocked-SKU orders pull from inventory — first 1,000 units packed in 5–10 working days from deposit clearance, balance produced fresh into the same container. Non-stocked orders run a fresh batch through the standard production line. Mid-production check available — 30%/70% photo or live-video update on WhatsApp / WeChat group, pre-shipment inspection scheduled 5–7 days before sailing. Third-party AQL inspection (SGS / BV / Intertek / TUV) at buyer's cost, coordinator on Shenghe side handles booking.
  5. Step 5 — Pre-shipment inspection and balance payment. In-house QA AQL 1.0 sample, plus optional third-party. Documentation pack: per-unit test records, lot traceability, material certificates, ISO 9001 / CE / RoHS DoC on customer letterhead if branded. Inspection report photographed, packed pallet photo, container loading photo on the WhatsApp group. B/L copy after sailing, balance T/T or L/C document presentation against B/L copy. Originals couriered DHL / FedEx — 3–5 days transit.
  6. Step 6 — Sea freight, customs, stocking-in and reorder cycle. FOB Ningbo: customer's forwarder picks up at Ningbo-Zhoushan port. CIF / DAP / DDP: Shenghe's nominated forwarder ships to destination port, docs filed under your import-of-record. Standard sea-freight transit 12–35 days depending on lane. Inland trucking handled buyer-side or by Shenghe's nominated forwarder. Reorder cycle on stocked SKUs runs 60–90 days for distributors holding their own buffer stock — re-quote against the same tier, re-confirm lead time, repeat.

BLDC Motor Wholesale FAQ

What Wholesale Buyers And Distributors Ask Before The First PO.

The eight questions wholesale buyers and distributors ask most often before the first PO. For deal-specific questions not covered here, send the inquiry — export desk replies inside 1 working day on stocked-SKU pricing and inside 5 working days on full distributor agreement scope.

What's the minimum order quantity for wholesale pricing?

Wholesale pricing tiers start at 100 units per SKU. Tiers are 100 / 500 / 1,000 / 5,000+ — automatic price step at each tier on stocked SKUs. Below 100 units the order goes through standard sample/pilot quote. Mixed-SKU orders qualify for the tier of the total quantity if SKUs are from the same family.

How does the distributor program work?

Three tiers: Authorized Reseller (USD 50k+/yr, no territorial exclusivity), Regional Distributor (USD 200k+/yr, soft territorial protection), Master Distributor (USD 500k+/yr, hard country/region exclusivity). Written agreement, 12-month evaluation before exclusivity confirmed. Contact the export desk for the agreement template.

Which SKUs are kept in stock?

Eight highest-runner SKUs rotated monthly: 24V/250W BLDC, 24V/400W gear motor, 36V/350W BLDC, 48V/750W BLDC, 48V/1000W BLDC, 48V/1500W BLDC, 72V/1000W BLDC, 72V/2000W BLDC. 25–35 day lead-time SLA up to 1,000 units. Reviewed quarterly against demand.

What's the lead-time SLA for wholesale orders?

Stocked SKU ≤1,000u: 25–35 days; 1,000–5,000u: 35–50 days. Non-stocked ≤1,000u: 35–50 days; 1,000–5,000u: 45–65 days. 5,000+ units run on production-slot booking with batched shipments. SLA written into the PI; 1% next-order rebate if Shenghe misses without force-majeure cause.

How many motors fit per container?

Small frame (50W–250W): ~4,000–5,000 / 20GP, ~9,000–11,000 / 40HQ. Medium frame (300W–1,500W): ~2,000–3,000 / 4,500–6,500. Large frame (2kW–10kW): ~600–1,000 / 1,400–2,200. Geared variants ship 60–70% of bare-motor count. Mixed-SKU consolidation supported.

What payment terms do you offer?

T/T 30/70 standard, L/C at sight ≥ USD 30k, PayPal on samples < USD 1k. Sinosure-backed milestones for Master Distributors after 12+ months payment history. Open-account terms not offered on first orders or in standard wholesale flow. Currency USD on PI; RMB or EUR on request.

Do you support drop-ship under our brand?

Yes — direct factory drop-ship under your brand is the standard distributor model. Branded carton, your-letterhead datasheet, no Shenghe branding visible on shipment documents. Freight terms FOB / CIF / DAP / DDP per your customer agreement; documents under your trading name. Branded workflow follows OEM rules (/oem-bldc-motor/).

Can I get exclusive distribution rights for my country?

Yes — at Master Distributor tier (USD 500k+/yr) with hard territorial exclusivity in defined country/region. Bidirectional commitment: Shenghe doesn't onboard competing distributor; you commit to active territory development. Annual review against forecast; agreement spells out boundary, target, exit clauses. Vertical-split exclusivity available where multiple verticals are addressable.
