When the front and rear wheels are folded and brought close together, the block on the arc plane at the lower end of the seat tube is rotated to align with the inner side square groove of the button cover, and the locking mechanism is automatically locked to ensure that the folded electric vehicle body remains in the folded state; (3) when folding the handlebar, unlocking the arc-shaped handlebar, holding the handlebar from top to bottom and folding it around the hinge, the sliding sleeve slides downward, re-locking the arc-shaped handlebar, and the arc-shaped protrusion is inserted into the limit groove located below; (4) after the body and handlebar are folded, they can be stored; (5) When unfolding the vehicle body, unlock the clamping mechanism and press the second button cover. The second button cover pushes the stepped shaft, the polygonal column and the first button cover to move, and the square groove disengages the clamping block, realizing the movable hinge connection between the front seat tube and the seat tube. Pull the seat tube and the rear column outward, and the front seat tube, the rear seat tube, the connecting rod and the seat tube are opened in a coordinated manner. Press the arc handle, and the hook part is locked in the slot. Release the arc handle. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring, the hook part of the arc handle is kept in the slot; (7) When unfolding the handlebar, unlock the arc handle, hold the handlebar and fold it around the hinge from bottom to top, the pull rod is linked, the sliding sleeve slides upward, the handlebar is opened, and the arc handle is locked again. The arc protrusion can be locked in the limit slot at the top to lock the handlebar; (8) After the vehicle body and handlebar are unfolded, it can be used for normal riding.
