The seat barrel 2 and the rear fork assembly 3 are both arranged on the main body 1, and the rear fork assembly 3 is located below the seat barrel 2. At the same time, the upper end of the shock absorber 4 is rotatably connected to the seat barrel 2, and the lower end of the shock absorber 4 is rotatably connected to the rear fork assembly 3, and the angle of inclination A between the shock absorber 4 and the ground is limited to between 30° and 45°, so that the user can be provided with the best stability and comfort during driving, thereby improving the user's driving experience, and achieving the purpose of optimizing the design angle of the shock absorber spring in the prior art.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the shock-absorbing member 4 is a shock-absorbing spring, and the inclined angle A between the upper end of the shock-absorbing member 4 and the ground is 45°.

[0030] Alternatively, it can also be adjusted according to the overall design requirements of the electric vehicle, and the inclination angle A between the shock absorber 4 and the ground can be set to 30°, 35°, 40°, etc. While meeting user needs, it can also provide users with optimal stability and comfort, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0031] In order to facilitate the installation of the shock absorber 4, the seat barrel 2 is provided with a first mounting seat 21, and the rear fork assembly 3 is provided with a second mounting seat 31, so that the first mounting seat 21 can be rotatably connected to the upper end of the shock absorber 4, and similarly, the second mounting seat 31 can be rotatably connected to the lower end of the shock absorber 4.

[0039] Specifically, the rear fork assembly 3 further includes a plurality of reinforcing tubes 35, which are arranged at intervals between the upper tube 33 and the lower tube 34. Such an arrangement can enhance the connection strength between the upper tube 33 and the lower tube 34, thereby improving the structural strength of the entire frame. The reinforcing tubes 35 can be arranged vertically or inclined.

[0040] In this embodiment, the main body 1 includes a main beam 11, a battery frame support plate 14, a pair of main side tubes 12, and a pair of battery side tubes 13.

Among them, the thickness of the battery frame support plate 14 can be 4mm, 4.5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, which can also increase the ground clearance of the frame while meeting the structural strength of the frame. In this embodiment, the thickness of the battery frame support plate 14 is 5 mm.

[0041] Among them, the main beam 11 is inclined toward the forward direction of the electric vehicle, and the inclined angle between it and the ground is 65°-75°, which can enhance the strength and impact resistance of the frame, and the main beam 11 is an elliptical tube with a cross-section of 40mm*60mm, and its strength and torsional rigidity are higher than those of a round tube. Similarly, according to the overall design requirements of the electric vehicle, the inclined angle between the main beam 11 and the ground can be set to 65°, 68°, 70°, 72°, 75°, etc. The design angles of the inclined angles listed above can all enhance the strength and impact resistance of the frame. In one embodiment of the utility model, the inclined angle between the main beam 11 and the ground is 70°.

[0042] Optionally, the main body 1 further comprises a head pipe arranged on the main beam 11 and hooks connected to the upper side pipe 33 and the lower side pipe 34. The hooks are arranged to facilitate the installation of the motor. The head pipe is arranged to facilitate the installation of the handlebar.

[0043] This embodiment also provides an electric vehicle, including the frame of the above solution.
