Usually, one needs to convert such reassuring words into a shipping date. A commitment date is what you need today.
Update from the manufacturer in typical chinese style:
āIt can be sent before September 10ā
OK, letās see then. At least a fixed date 
Itās like looking at an ultrasound of your child. Canāt wait to get mine!

Only better: if it turns not like you want it, you can always ārewindā

hello.
im interested in getting a custom motor made for myself for a very different project and was wondering who you got to make these motors for you in such low volumes.
Can you provide their web page / contact ?
No I will not provide contacts.
But maybe I can arrange it for you. What kind of a motor do you need?
The first prototype is way more expensive.
Have you been able to rewind one youserlf ? How was it done with the casing ? any picture of this ?
Even if you find a company to make you a custom motor, there is no way you will make the first one for less than a few thousands $, unless you just have to change a few parameters from something already produced 
Thatās true.(regarding a new custom motor)
Rewinding:
- take the caps off.
- press the stator out of the tube.
- rewind
- put everything back in reverse order

If youāve spent 2000$ for your first prototype and make a 60usd margin per motor, you ājustā need to sell 25 motors to amortize the first prototype which is ādoableā. Youāre already half way 
@Manufoil, http://en.hobiba.cn is a nice camouflage. They are manufacturing efoil motors for Flipsky, Maytech, HGLT, ā¦ but their site seems to have not been updated since 2017 
Well thatās in theory
- there is no 60USD margin since the quantity is below 50 (minimum run)
- out of 8 ordered 6 are sold, 1 goes to @ELEVATE.rocks in exchange for an old RL wing set, and one for me.
So as you all will agree its just a very expensive hobby.

An outrunner produced in small series costs around ā¬ 50, an inrunner around ā¬ 60
Greetings Frank
Iād like to get that company contact?
what size of batch is then required?
I have previously designed some motors but realised i dināt have enough time or money to prototype. If batch is not too large at 60ā¬ then iād just do it
It seems Iām being ripped off then. @JetboardCologne can you arrange 10 units of my motor for 600 USD?

A well constructed outrunner consists of 2 turned parts. 15 to 20, -
Stator sheet 3 to 5, - ā¬
Changing 10, -
Magnets 5, -
5, ball bearings
These were my production costs a few years ago, until I owned the company to a competitor.
With the exception of good stator lamination, you can find good suppliers in every city.
And no, I only manufacture engines if I feel like doing it 
Greetings Frank
I see no profit margin(have you been manufacturing and selling motors for 50 - 60EUR?) in this calculation, no taxes, and most importantly no MOQ.
As a manufacturer would you ever agree to such pricing for a order of 10 units? In my experience if a manufacturer hears about an order for less then a 100 parts they kindly send you to hellā¦
I agree that BOM price of a motor can be 50 - 60 EUR but that has little to do with the price one has to pay a manufacturer for a very small batch of custom motors.
