[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clutch planetary carrier 35 is sleeved on the outer wall of the output shaft sleeve 4, specifically, the inner ring of the planetary carrier is fixedly sleeved on the inner end of the outer wall of the output shaft sleeve 4; preferably, the inner ring of the planetary carrier is integrally formed with the output shaft sleeve 4, so as to reduce the number of parts and facilitate assembly; the pedal clutch assembly 5 is embedded in the inner wall of the output shaft sleeve 4, specifically, the pedal clutch assembly 5 includes a clutch inner ring and a clutch outer ring, the clutch outer ring is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the output shaft sleeve 4, and the clutch inner ring and the main shaft 1 are circumferentially linked through a keyway assembly; preferably, in this embodiment, the pedal clutch assembly 5 is a needle roller clutch assembly, which can optimize the radial size, and has low noise during idling, and can quickly switch from the idling state to the transmission state, thereby optimizing the riding experience; of course, in other optional embodiments, the pedal clutch assembly can also adopt other clutch assemblies, which are not limited here.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A clamping ring in contact with the end of the inner ring of the clutch is sleeved on the main shaft 1, and a baffle in contact with the end of the outer ring of the clutch is arranged on the outer end of the inner wall of the output shaft sleeve 4.
