Description
Technical Field

[0002] Electric bicycles are a mode of operation that combines human power and electricity. They are almost the same as bicycles in appearance and still retain the pedal design of bicycles. The front fork of electric bicycles is generally used to connect and fix the front wheel to the handlebars. Due to uneven road conditions encountered during driving, in order to ensure riding comfort, the front fork must have a shock-absorbing structure.
[0003] According to the description of an electric bicycle pneumatic shock-absorbing front fork disclosed on the patent website (authorization announcement number: CN 219447235U), "the utility model belongs to the field of front fork shock-absorbing technology, especially an electric bicycle pneumatic shock-absorbing front fork, including an upper tube, a shoulder fork is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper tube, a stroke tube is sleeved at both ends of the shoulder fork, a piston is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stroke tube, and a symmetrically distributed sleeve is provided at the bottom of the shoulder fork, a shock-absorbing spring is fixedly installed inside the sleeve, and one end of the stroke tube connected to the piston extends to the inner wall of the sleeve. The electric bicycle pneumatic shock-absorbing front fork connects the fork bridge with the left and right sleeves as a whole, enhances the stability of the overall structure of the left and right front forks, realizes the synchronous operation of the left and right front forks, and is conducive to improving the stability of the vehicle during riding. By setting a buffer spring device, the impact force generated by the bumping of the vehicle body is shared, and the riding comfort is improved. The pressure control of the buffer spring is realized by the tension bolts set on the outer surface of the upper positioning ring, and the rider can flexibly adjust the shock absorption performance according to different road conditions and different weights."
[0004] In view of the above description, the applicant believes that there are the following problems:
[0005] During use, the utility model can achieve synchronous shock absorption on the left and right sides by connecting the sleeves on the left and right sides, so that the riding process of the electric bicycle becomes stable. However, in actual use, the internal positions of the shock-absorbing springs inside the left and right sleeves of the shock-absorbing front fork are fixed, resulting in that the shock-absorbing pressure cannot be adjusted, making the front fork of the electric bicycle prone to shaking even on a flat road surface, and unable to adjust according to the bumpy road conditions, affecting riding comfort. Therefore, it is necessary to improve a front fork shock-absorbing structure for electric bicycles to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
