Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation technology, and more specifically, to a scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most scooters on the market are designed with folding functionality for easy carrying and storage. However, these scooters commonly suffer from interference between structural components when folded, particularly between the pedals and the frame. This not only limits the scooter's compactness and portability when folded but can also cause unnecessary wear and tear on the pedals or other parts, affecting the scooter's overall lifespan and user experience. This problem is particularly pronounced when the pedals are large, making it difficult to achieve an ideal folding state and impacting the user experience.

[0003] As a result, existing scooters suffer from component interference during the folding process, which affects folding efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a scooter.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: One aspect of this application provides a scooter, which includes a frame comprising a front frame and a rear frame rotatably connected. The bottom of the front frame has a clearance space along its height direction, and a footboard is provided on the rear frame. In a folded state, the rear frame is stacked on the side of the front frame, and at least a portion of the footboard is located within the clearance space. This application employs a structure where the rear frame can be stacked on the side of the front frame, significantly reducing the overall size after folding, minimizing space occupation along the length of the frame, and improving structural compactness and ease of storage. In the folded state, the footboard on the rear frame of this application is partially located within the clearance space, ensuring that the footboard does not interfere with the frame, achieving smooth and reliable folding action, and further improving the portability and space utilization of the scooter in the folded state.

[0006] In some embodiments, the pedal is rotatably connected to the rear body and can be folded to the side of the rear body. When the scooter is folded, the top surface of the pedal is located below the bottom surface of the front body along the height direction of the scooter. In this application, the top surface of the folded pedal is located below the bottom surface of the front body, thereby avoiding interference between the pedal and the front body in the height direction. This ensures that the pedal can be partially moved into clearance space after the scooter is folded. The height difference between the pedal and the front body improves the smoothness and reliability of the scooter's folding action.

[0007] In some embodiments, the pedals are arranged in pairs on both sides of the rear body, and the scooter is in a folded state, with at least one pedal located in the clearance space. The rear body of this application is stacked on the side of the front body, so one of the pedals on both sides of the rear body is located in the clearance space of the front body, effectively reducing the space occupied in the width direction of the body, improving the overall structural compactness, and reducing space occupancy.

[0008] In some embodiments, the rear vehicle body is rotatably connected to the rear end of the front vehicle body, and along the height direction of the vehicle body, the front end of the front vehicle body is located above the rear end of the front vehicle body. The front vehicle body of this application is formed as an inclined structure with a higher front and lower rear, and the lower rear end of the front vehicle body is connected to the rear vehicle body to form a clearance space on the lower side of the front vehicle body, so as to reasonably avoid the pedals and other components on the stacked rear vehicle body; at the same time, the front end and rear end of the front vehicle body of this application form a height difference, so as to make the height of the stacked rear vehicle body less than the height of the front end of the front vehicle body, so as to avoid the rear vehicle body occupying the space in the height direction of the vehicle body, further improving the compactness and convenience of the structure.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rear body includes a first segment and a second segment connected together. Along the length of the body, the front end of the first segment is rotatably connected to the front body, and the rear end of the first segment is connected to the second segment, which extends towards the rear of the body. The front end of the first segment is higher than its rear end, and the first and second segments are angled in the side projection of the body. The first segment of the rear body in this application is formed as a sloping structure with a higher front and lower rear. This sloping characteristic of the first segment acts as a guide during folding, allowing the front and rear bodies to smoothly connect and form a tight folded state. This structural design not only optimizes the body structure but also provides a stepped folding form for the foldable scooter, ensuring minimal volume after folding and improving storage convenience.

[0010] In some embodiments, on the side projection of the vehicle body, the front body forms a first angle with the first segment, the first angle being ∠A, and the first segment and the second segment form a second angle, the second angle being ∠B; wherein, both the first angle and the second angle are not less than 90°. In this application, the first angle between the front body and the first segment is not less than 90°, and the included angle formed between the first segment and the second segment of the rear body is not less than 90°, forming a non-linear structure with included angles. This not only affects the overall appearance design but also directly relates to the stability and space occupancy rate after folding, ensuring efficient storage without sacrificing structural strength.

[0011] In some embodiments, the scooter further includes a locking element and a locking engagement element, one of which is disposed on the front body and the other on the rear body. The scooter body of this application is provided with a locking element and a locking engagement element. The locking engagement of the locking element and the locking engagement element allows for switching the connection state between the front and rear bodies. When the locking element and the locking engagement element are locked, the scooter is in an unfolded state with a stable connection between the front and rear bodies. When the locking element and the locking engagement element are unlocked, the rear body can fold to the side of the front body, forming a folding engagement between the front and rear bodies, allowing the scooter to switch to a folded state. The locking element and the locking engagement element can precisely align, enabling quick locking and unlocking of the scooter, enhancing its portability and safety.

[0012] In some embodiments, when the scooter is in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the pedal is located directly below the locking member and / or locking engagement member along the height direction of the scooter body. The fact that at least a portion of the pedal in this application is located directly below the locking member and / or locking engagement member facilitates a forward shift of the user's stepping area, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, this structural arrangement of the pedal in this application differs from existing technologies where the pedal needs to be misaligned with the locking member in the length direction. This structural arrangement optimizes the overall structural layout of the scooter, improves the stability of the structural design, and enhances the user's riding experience.

[0013] In some embodiments, when the scooter is in a folded state, the top surface of the pedal is located below the locking member and the locking engagement member along the height direction of the scooter body. In this application, the top surface of the folded pedal is located below the locking member and the locking engagement member, thereby avoiding interference between the pedal and the locking member and the locking engagement member when folding. By positioning the top surface of the pedal below the locking member and the locking engagement member along the height direction of the scooter body, the pedal can be smoothly folded during the folding process, resulting in a more compact folding shape and further reducing the folded volume.

[0014] In some embodiments, the pedal has a clearance area, and when the scooter is folded, the locking element and locking engagement element are located in the clearance area. The pedal of this application, by integrating the clearance area, avoids interference when the pedal is folded, as the locking element and locking engagement element are located within the clearance area. During folding, the pedal can smoothly bypass the locking element and locking engagement element, avoiding interference between components and making the folding action smoother. Furthermore, by setting the clearance structure, the height of other parts of the pedal is not limited by the height of the locking element and locking engagement element, increasing the range of pedal settings and allowing for flexible settings according to user needs, further improving the user experience.

[0015] In some embodiments, the front body has a battery compartment with a bottom opening that communicates with a clearance space. The scooter also includes a battery and a cover. The battery is disposed inside the battery compartment, and the cover is detachably disposed at the bottom opening of the front body to cover the battery. The opening of the battery compartment in this application communicates with the clearance space, facilitating easy battery removal and replacement without altering the overall structure of the scooter. This design not only improves user convenience but also ensures the battery is isolated from the external environment, enhancing the safety and durability of the scooter. The cover's structure facilitates sealing of the battery compartment, improving the overall structural durability and practicality.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This application adopts a structure in which the rear body can be stacked on the side of the front body, which significantly reduces the overall size after folding, reduces the space occupied in the length direction of the body, and improves the compactness of the structure and the convenience of storage. When the scooter is folded, the pedal on the rear body can be partially located in the clearance space, ensuring that the pedal will not interfere with the body, realizing the smooth and reliable folding action, and further improving the portability and space utilization of the scooter in the folded state.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] To address the problem of component interference during the folding process of existing scooters, which affects folding efficiency, this invention provides a scooter, specifically a foldable scooter.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the scooter includes a body 10, which includes a front body 110 and a rear body 120 rotatably connected. The bottom of the front body 110 has a clearance space 140 along the height direction of the body 10, and a footboard 130 is provided on the rear body 120. When the scooter is in a folded state, the rear body 120 is stacked on the side of the front body 110, and at least a portion of the footboard 130 is located in the clearance space 140.

[0030] The scooter of this application has both a folded and an unfolded state. When the scooter is to be ridden, it is in the unfolded state, with the handlebar assembly 70 positioned above the front frame 110. The front frame 110 and the rear frame 120 are arranged along a first direction. When the scooter needs to be stored, it is in the folded state, with the handlebar assembly 70 and the rear frame 120 positioned on either side of the front frame 110 along a second direction. The front frame 110 and the rear frame 120 are stacked on opposite sides, forming a stable folding structure, enhancing overall folding stability, preventing the scooter from wobbling in the folded state, and improving safety during storage. This folding design not only simplifies the folding process but also improves the scooter's portability and user experience.

[0031] The first direction is the length direction of the vehicle body 10, i.e. Figure 1 The X direction shown is the same as the width direction of the vehicle body 10. Figure 1 The Y-direction shown is the third direction, which is the height direction of the vehicle body 10. Figure 1 The Z direction is shown.

[0032] This application adopts a structure in which the rear body 120 can be stacked on the side of the front body 110, which significantly reduces the overall size after folding, reduces the space occupied in the length direction of the body 10, and improves the compactness of the structure and the convenience of storage. In the folded state, the pedal 130 on the rear body 120 of this application can be partially located in the clearance space 140, ensuring that the pedal 130 will not interfere with the body 10, realizing the smooth and reliable folding action, and further improving the portability and space utilization of the scooter in the folded state.

[0033] In this embodiment, the rear body 120 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the front body 110. Along the height direction of the body 10, the front end of the front body 110 is located above the rear end of the front body 110. The front body 110 of this application is formed as an inclined structure with a higher front and a lower rear, and the lower rear end of the front body 110 is connected to the rear body 120, so that a clearance space 140 is formed on the lower side of the front body 110 to reasonably avoid components such as the pedal 130 on the stacked rear body 120; at the same time, the front end and the rear end of the front body 110 of this application form a height difference to make the height of the stacked rear body 120 less than the height of the front end of the front body 110, so as to avoid the rear body 120 occupying the space in the height direction of the body 10, further improving the compactness and convenience of the structure.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pedal 130 is rotatably connected to the rear body 120 and can be folded onto the side of the rear body 120 by flipping it towards the top of the body 10. When the scooter is folded, along the height direction of the body 10, the top surface of the pedal 130 is located below the bottom surface of the front body 110, at least partially accommodating within the clearance space 140. The fact that the top surface of the folded pedal 130 is located below the bottom surface of the front body 110 avoids interference between the pedal 130 and the front body 110 in the height direction of the body 10, ensuring that the pedal 130 can be partially moved into the clearance space 140 after the body 120 is folded. The height difference between the pedal 130 and the front body 110 improves the smoothness and reliability of the scooter's folding action.

[0035] Specifically, the pedals 130 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the rear body 120. When the scooter is folded, one of the pedals 130 is at least partially located in the clearance space 140.

[0036] Specifically, two pedals 130 are arranged on both sides of the rear body 120 along the second direction, and the two pedals 130 are used by the user to step on them while riding. When folded, the two pedals 130 flip towards the side of the rear body 120 and fit against the rear body 120.

[0037] The rear body 120 of this application is stacked on the side of the front body 110. Therefore, one of the steps 130 on both sides of the rear body 120 is located in the clearance space 140 of the front body 110, which effectively reduces the space occupied in the width direction of the body 10, improves the compactness of the overall structure, and reduces the space occupied.

[0038] In this embodiment, the scooter is in a folded state, and the two ends of the pedal 130 along the length of the scooter body 10 are located in the middle area of ​​the clearance space 140. By placing the pedal 130 in the middle area of ​​the clearance space 140, this application further optimizes the smoothness of operation during the folding process, reduces potential damage caused by collisions between components, avoids interference when the scooter is folded, and also improves the user experience.

[0039] In this embodiment, along the length of the vehicle body 10, the front end of the front body 110 is connected to the handlebar assembly 70 to form a first folding end, and the rear end of the front body 110 is connected to the rear body 120 to form a second folding end. Along the height of the vehicle body 10, the first folding end is located above the second folding end. The connection end between the pedal 130 and the rear body 120 forms a third folding end, and along the height of the vehicle body 10, the second folding end is located above the third folding end. The scooter has a first folding end, a second folding end, and a third folding end, forming a stepped folding structure. This layout not only optimizes the space occupied after folding but also simplifies the folding steps, facilitating quick operation for the user. It also provides better stability in the folded state. This innovative folding mechanism makes the folded volume more compact, significantly reducing the overall height after folding and greatly improving portability and storage efficiency.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rear body 120 includes a first segment 121 and a second segment 122 connected together. Along the length of the body 10, the front end of the first segment 121 is rotatably connected to the front body 110, and the rear end of the first segment 121 is connected to the second segment 122. The second segment 122 extends toward the rear of the body 10. The front end of the first segment 121 is higher than the rear end of the first segment 121. In the side projection of the body 10, the first segment 121 and the second segment 122 are set at an angle.

[0041] The front body 110 is formed as a sloping structure with a high front and a low rear, and the rear body 120 is formed as a bent structure, so that the front body 110 and the rear body 120 form an approximate Z-shaped structure, which helps to increase the structural strength of the body 10.

[0042] Specifically, the first segment 121 is formed as an inclined segment to connect the front body 110 and the second segment 122, and the second segment 122 is used to install the rear wheel 60.

[0043] The first segment 121 of the rear body 120 of this application is formed as an inclined structure with a higher front and lower rear. The inclined characteristics of the first segment 121 play a guiding role in the folding process, so that the front body 110 and the rear body 120 can be smoothly connected when folded to form a tight folded state. This structural setting not only optimizes the structure of the body 10, but also provides a stepped folding form for the foldable scooter to ensure that the volume after folding is minimized and improves the convenience of storage.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second segment 122 may be arranged parallel to the support surface, or it may be arranged at an angle relative to the support surface.

[0045] In this embodiment, on the lateral projection of the vehicle body 10, the front body 110 forms a first angle with the first segment 121, the first angle being ∠A, and the first segment 121 and the second segment 122 form a second angle, the second angle being ∠B; wherein both the first angle and the second angle are not less than 90°. The first angle between the front body 110 and the first segment 121, and the first segment 121 and the second segment 122 of the rear body 120, form an angle of not less than 90°, achieving a non-linear, angled arrangement of the front body 110, the first segment 121, and the second segment 122. This not only affects the overall appearance design but also directly relates to the stability and space utilization after folding, ensuring efficient storage without sacrificing structural strength.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the scooter also includes a locking element 20 and a locking element 30 for locking engagement, one of which is located on the front body 110 and the other is located on the rear body 120.

[0047] A locking structure is formed between the locking member 20 and the locking mating member 30. The locking structure can be a latch structure or the like.

[0048] The scooter body 10 of this application is provided with a locking component 20 and a locking engagement component 30. The locking engagement component 20 and the locking engagement component 30 can switch the connection state between the front scooter body 110 and the rear scooter body 120. When the locking component 20 and the locking engagement component 30 are locked, the scooter body 110 and the rear scooter body 120 are stably connected in the unfolded state. When the locking component 20 and the locking engagement component 30 are unlocked, the rear scooter body 120 can be folded to the side of the front scooter body 110, and the front scooter body 110 and the rear scooter body 120 form a folding engagement, so that the scooter body can be switched to the folded state. The locking component 20 and the locking engagement component 30 can be precisely engaged, so as to realize the quick locking and unlocking of the scooter body, which enhances the portability and safety of the scooter body.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the scooter is in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the footboard 130 is located directly below the locking member 20 and / or the locking engagement member 30 along the height direction of the vehicle body 10.

[0050] In this application, at least a portion of the pedal 130 is located directly below the locking member 20 and / or the locking engagement member 30, so that the pedal 130 can extend towards the front wheel 50 along the length direction of the vehicle body 10, thereby facilitating the forward movement of the user's pedaling area and improving the user's riding experience.

[0051] The structural design of the pedal 130 in this application differs from that in the prior art where the pedal 130 needs to be misaligned with the locking member 20 in the length direction. The structural design of this application optimizes the overall structural layout of the scooter, improves the stability of the structural design, and provides a better riding experience for the user.

[0052] In one embodiment, when the scooter is in a folded state, the top surface of the pedal 130 is located below the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30 along the height direction of the vehicle body 10.

[0053] Specifically, the pedal 130 is located entirely below the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30, thereby ensuring that the pedal 130 is located directly below the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30, and that there is no problem of interference with the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30 when folding or flipping.

[0054] The pedal 130 is located entirely below the locking member 20 and the locking mating member 30, so the pedal 130 can be configured into any shape according to user needs, such as a cube.

[0055] In this application, the top surface of the folded pedal 130 is located below the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30, thereby avoiding interference between the pedal 130 and the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30 when the pedal 130 is folded. In this application, the top surface of the pedal 130 is located below the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30 along the height direction of the vehicle body 10, so that the pedal 130 can be smoothly folded during the folding process, thereby achieving a more compact folding form and further reducing the volume after folding.

[0056] In this embodiment, the height of the pedal 130 can be adaptively set according to actual conditions to optimize the user's standing posture during riding and improve riding comfort. In the folded state, the lower pedal height 130 helps to further reduce the space occupied by the vehicle, making it easier to store and carry. Specifically, the height can be 10cm, 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, 30cm, etc.

[0057] Furthermore, the pedal 130 of this application can be set according to the user's experience and also according to the size of the vehicle body 10. For example, when the vehicle body 10 is large enough, the corresponding pedal 130 can be set to a larger structure; when the vehicle body size is small, the corresponding pedal 130 can be set to a smaller structure.

[0058] In another embodiment, the pedal 130 has a clearance area, and the top surface of another portion is flush with or above the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30.

[0059] Specifically, the pedal 130 has a clearance area, and when the scooter is folded, the locking member 20 and the locking engagement member 30 are located in the clearance area.

[0060] The pedal 130 of this application integrates a clearance area so that when the pedal 130 is folded, the locking member 20 and the locking mating member 30 are located in the clearance area to avoid interference. During the folding process, the pedal 130 can smoothly bypass the locking member 20 and the locking mating member 30, avoiding interference between components and making the folding action smoother. Furthermore, by setting the clearance structure, the height of other parts of the pedal 130 is not limited by the height of the locking member 20 and the locking mating member 30, which increases the setting range of the pedal 130 and allows for flexible setting according to user needs, further improving the user experience.

[0061] In this embodiment, the avoidance structure can be formed as a groove structure or as a slope structure, specifically, the surface of the avoidance area when the pedal 130 is folded is provided on the lower side of the locking member 20 and the locking mating member 30.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a battery compartment is provided on the front body 110, and the scooter also includes a battery, which is located in the battery compartment.

[0063] This application places the battery compartment on the front of the vehicle body 110, so that when the vehicle body 10 needs to be folded, the battery compartment does not need to move along with it because it is located on the front of the vehicle body 110, thus ensuring the stability of the scooter structure and the safety of the scooter when folded.

[0064] In this embodiment, the battery compartment opening is located at the bottom of the front body 110, and the bottom of the front body 110 has a clearance space 140, through which the battery compartment opening communicates. The scooter also includes a cover plate 40, which is detachably disposed at the opening to cover the battery. The battery compartment opening of this application communicates with the clearance space 140, facilitating easy battery removal, installation, and replacement without altering the overall structure of the scooter. This design not only improves user convenience but also ensures battery isolation from the external environment, enhancing the scooter's safety and durability. The structure of the cover plate 40 facilitates sealing of the battery compartment, improving the overall structural durability and practicality.

[0065] In this embodiment, the handlebar assembly 70 is folded toward the support surface side used to support the scooter. The scooter of this application flips toward the support surface side along the offset angle in the folded state, thereby realizing that the handlebar assembly 70 is stacked on the side of the front body 110.

[0066] In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the rear body 120 is perpendicular to the support surface. The rotation axis of the rear body 120 of this application is perpendicular to the support surface, thereby ensuring that the rear body 120 forms a horizontal lateral flip and avoiding the rear body 120 occupying additional space in the height direction after flipping. The handlebar assembly 70 and the folding structure of the rear body 120 of this application ensure the compactness of the structure and improve the portability of the structure.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the handlebar assembly 70 includes a stem 720 and a handlebar piece 710. One end of the stem 720 is rotatably connected to the front body 110, and the other end of the stem 720 is connected to the handlebar piece 710. When the scooter is in a folded state, the handlebar piece 710 is parallel to the support surface.

[0068] The riser tube 720 is connected between the handlebar assembly 710 and the front frame 110. When the handlebar assembly 70 needs to be folded, the riser tube 720 and the handlebar assembly 710 are flipped by rotating the riser tube 720, thereby changing the position of the handlebar assembly 70.

[0069] This application employs a rotatable stem tube 720 structure, enabling the handlebars 710 to be parallel to the support surface. This ensures a more compact scooter shape in the folded state, avoiding unnecessary space waste between the handlebars 710 and the support surface, and achieving a more efficient storage effect. The folding structure design formed by the rotation of the stem tube 720 also improves the ease of operation and enhances the user experience.

[0070] In this embodiment, the scooter also includes a folding seat 80, which is disposed between the handlebar assembly 70 and the front body 110 to enable a rotatable connection between the handlebar assembly 70 and the front body 110.

[0071] Specifically, the folding seat 80 includes a first seat body 810 and a second seat body 820. The first seat body 810 is connected to the front body 110, and the second seat body 820 is rotatably connected to the first seat body 810. The handlebar assembly 70 is connected to the second seat body 820. The body 10 has a central reference plane. The rotational engagement area of ​​the first seat body 810 and the second seat body 820 is offset from the central reference plane and forms an offset angle with the central reference plane.

[0072] The central reference plane of the vehicle body 10 in this application is as follows: Figure 4 The elevation SS shown is perpendicular to the supporting surface. It can be understood that the central reference plane is the symmetrical reference plane of the vehicle body 10 in the second direction, and the vehicle body 10 forms a generally symmetrical structure about the central reference plane. The handlebar assembly 70 of this application is offset from this central reference plane and flipped to the side of the vehicle body 10.

[0073] The first seat 810 is connected to the head tube 111 of the front body 110, and the second seat 820 is connected to the riser tube 720 of the handlebar assembly 70.

[0074] This application adopts a structural setting in which the rotational engagement area of ​​the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 is offset to the central reference plane, so that when the handlebar assembly 70 is flipped, it can be flipped along the offset angle, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the scooter folding.

[0075] In this embodiment, the folding seat 80 also includes a rotating component disposed between the first seat body 810 and the second seat body 820. The rotating component may be a rotating shaft. The first seat body 810 and the second seat body 820 are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft, and the area where the rotating shaft is located forms a rotationally engaged area.

[0076] In this embodiment, the rotation angle between the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 is 160°-190°, preferably 180°, thereby enabling the riser 720 to flip within the range of 160°-190° to adjust the flip position of the handlebar assembly 70. This rotating structure between the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 ensures that the riser 720 and the handlebar assembly 710 can flip to the side of the frame 10, improving the compactness between the handlebar assembly 70 and the frame 10. When the rotation angle between the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 is 180°, and the handlebar assembly 70 is in the unfolded position, the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 have mutually contacting surfaces. When the handlebar assembly 70 is switched to the folded position, the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 rotate via a rotating component, and the contacting surfaces become coplanar.

[0077] This application adopts a design in which the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 are offset from the central reference plane of the body 10, thereby achieving a misalignment between the handlebar assembly 70 and the central reference plane of the body 10. This layout is beneficial for the handlebar assembly 70 to fold toward the front wheel side of the body 10 in the folded state, thereby reducing the overall storage volume. The front wheel side of the body 10 is the side where the front wheel 50 is located.

[0078] In this embodiment, the connection area between the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 is offset from the central reference plane of the vehicle body 10, wherein the offset angle satisfies 35°-55°, preferably 45°. This application employs a structural setting with an offset angle of 35°-55° to ensure that the handlebar assembly 70 is not affected by the vehicle body 10 during the side folding process towards the front wheel side of the vehicle body 10, thus ensuring the stability of the handlebar assembly 70's rotational setting.

[0079] In this embodiment, an angle is formed between the top surface of the head tube 111 and the supporting surface, that is, the top surface of the head tube 111 is formed as an inclined surface, wherein the angle is preferably 5°, so that when the offset angle meets 35°-55°, the handlebar assembly 70 can be folded by the combination of the angle and the offset angle so that the handlebar part 710 can be parallel to the supporting surface, thereby improving the compactness of the overall structure.

[0080] In this embodiment, the riser 720 includes a first tube body and a second tube body. The first tube body is connected to the folding seat 80, one end of the second tube body is retractably disposed within the first tube body, and the second end of the second tube body is rotatably connected to the handlebar 710. The first and second tube bodies form a telescopic tube structure to allow for height adjustment of the riser 720.

[0081] This application uses a telescopic first tube and a second tube to achieve flexible height adjustment of the handlebar assembly 70 to meet the needs of different users; and when the handlebar assembly 70 is folded, it can also reduce the space occupied by storage through telescopic movement.

[0082] In this embodiment, the height of the riser 720 can be adapted to the user's needs and storage requirements. The riser 720 is also equipped with a locking device, which locks the first and second pipe bodies together after they form a riser 720 of a preset length, thus fixing the first and second pipe bodies relatively in place.

[0083] In this embodiment, a telescopic structure is formed between the first tube and the second tube, and a rotating fit is formed between the second tube and the handlebar assembly 710, thereby realizing the adjustment of the structure between the riser 720 and the handlebar assembly 710, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the handlebar assembly 70 to suit different usage scenarios and users; at the same time, the structural design of the riser 720 and the handlebar assembly 710 is also beneficial to improving the structural stability of the handlebar assembly 70.

[0084] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the scooter is folded, along the height direction of the body 10, the top of the rear body 120 is located below the top of the front body 110.

[0085] In the folded state, the front body 110 and the rear body 120 are folded sideways, and the top of the rear body 120 is designed to be located below the top of the front body 110. This layout effectively utilizes the space in the height of the body 10, minimizes the overall volume after folding, and ensures that the folded scooter is more compact, making it easier to carry and store.

[0086] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This application adopts a structure in which the rear body 120 can be stacked on the side of the front body 110, which significantly reduces the overall size after folding, reduces the space occupied in the length direction of the body 10, and improves the compactness of the structure and the convenience of storage. In the folded state, the pedal 130 on the rear body 120 of this application can be partially located in the clearance space 140, ensuring that the pedal 130 will not interfere with the body 10, realizing the smooth and reliable folding action, and further improving the portability and space utilization of the scooter in the folded state.
