[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that these descriptions are merely illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the directions or positional relationships in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use, which are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. "First" and "second" are only for the purpose of making the description easier to understand, without any other directional meaning, and cannot be used as a limitation on the present utility model.

[0043] It should be noted that like reference numerals denote similar items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it may not be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the pedal module of the electric scooter includes a front fork 1, a pedal 2 and a tail fork 3.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the three parts of the front fork 1, the pedal 2 and the tail fork 3 as a whole include an integrated plastic pedal 10 and an aluminum die-cast pedal frame 20 distributed up and down. The pedal frame 20 includes a front fork frame 21, a pedal frame 22 and a tail frame 23; the plastic pedal 10 includes a front fork cover 11, a pedal cover 12 and a tail frame cover 13; the plastic pedal 10 is correspondingly arranged on the pedal frame 20 and the two are fixed to each other, and the corresponding connection methods include screw fixing, buckle connection, etc.

[0046] Through such an arrangement, the upper surfaces of the front fork 1, the pedal 2 and the tail fork 3 are integrally covered, eliminating the waterproof problem caused by the assembly gap and improving the waterproofness of the pedal module. The material selection of the plastic pedal 10 is also lighter than the traditional metal pedal 2, which is beneficial to the lightweight requirements of the electric scooter, especially for some folding scooters that are carried around.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the pedal cover 12 is provided with a rubber pad e and an anti-skid protruding structure f, providing the rider with a safer and more comfortable riding experience.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the pedal frame 22 includes a rectangular receiving groove 22a with an upper opening and a rectangular ring-shaped shelf 22b surrounding the receiving groove 22a, and the pedal cover 12 is placed on the shelf 22b. The shelf 22b supports the pedal frame 22 in an annular manner, so that the pedal cover 12 is stably installed and its load-bearing capacity is further improved.

[0049] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the front section of the receiving groove 22a is provided with a controller 3, and the rear section of the receiving groove 22a is provided with a battery 5. The controller 3 is located inside a support and protection frame 4 with an inverted U-shaped cross section fixed to the bottom of the receiving groove 22a; the upper surface of the support and protection frame 4 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the outer shell of the battery 5, but the height difference does not exceed 3mm.

[0050] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, there is a gap between the supporting and protecting frame 4 and the housing of the battery 5 and the shelf 22b, which not only provides heat dissipation space, but also provides a space for the pedal cover 12 to slightly deform, thereby preventing the user's foot force from directly acting on the battery 5 and avoiding the problem of insufficient load-bearing capacity due to the lack of support under the pedal cover 12. The setting of the supporting and protecting frame 4 not only protects the controller 3, but also protects the battery 5 which is slightly lower than it.

[0051] Furthermore, if Figure 4-5 As shown, the upper surface of the front fork frame 21 is provided with two mutually spaced convex ribs m in the same extension direction thereof, and a concave area n is formed between the convex rib m and the outer edge of the front fork frame 21; the inner concave portion s between the two convex ribs m forms a wiring channel. The lower side of the front fork cover 11 is provided with a side support wall p and a groove t located beside the side support wall p and matching with the convex rib m. The side support wall p contacts the upper surface of the concave area n, the convex rib m is embedded in the groove t, and the outer wall of the convex rib m contacts the inner wall of the groove t.

[0052] The matching arrangement of the groove t and the convex rib m not only improves the matching of the front fork frame 21 and the front fork cover 11, and improves the connection strength, but also enhances the stability of the connection through the mutual limiting. Moreover, the formation of a wiring channel in the inner concave portion s optimizes the wiring layout and improves the neatness of the entire vehicle. In addition, a separation wall is built on both sides of the wiring channel, and the separation wall is a concave-convex matching structure, thereby improving the sealing and waterproofness of the wiring channel.

[0053] Furthermore, the front fork 1 is provided with a charging interface 6, and a through hole k for installing the charging interface 6 is provided in the middle of the front fork cover 11. The position of the through hole k corresponds to the wiring channel, and the matching of the groove t and the convex rib m also plays a waterproof role for the part of the charging interface 6 extending into the wiring channel.

[0054] Preferably, if Figure 4-5As shown, the front fork frame 21 is bent and includes a first inclined section 21a and a second inclined section 21b, and the slope of the first inclined section 21a is smaller than that of the second inclined section 21b. Correspondingly, the front fork cover 11 includes a third inclined section 11a and a fourth inclined section 11b. The rib m extends from the front end of the first inclined section 21a to the rear end of the second inclined section 21b. A central convex portion y is provided on the lower side of the fourth inclined section 11b of the front fork cover 11. The central convex portion y is embedded in the inner recess s, and a spacing distance is separated between the lower surface of the central convex portion y and the upper surface of the inner recess s. A through hole k is provided at the position of the central convex portion y, and a charging interface 6 is installed in the through hole k, and the lower end of the charging interface 6 extends into the spacing distance. The setting of the central protrusion y further limits the lateral movable clearance between the front fork cover 11 and the front fork frame 21, improves the stability of the connection, and the central protrusion y enhances the strength of the front fork cover 11. In addition, it surrounds the through hole k and the charging interface 6 in the through hole k, provides an installation position for the charging interface 6, and is conducive to the stable and firm installation of the charging interface 6.

[0055] A recessed groove is provided on the lower side of the tail frame cover 13, and the tail frame 23 is accommodated in the recessed groove, so that the connection between the tail frame 23 and the tail frame cover 13 is tighter, thereby improving the stability of the entire pedal module.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the tail frame 23 is provided with a convex folding locking piece q, and the tail frame cover 13 is hollowed out, and the folding locking piece q passes through the tail frame 23. A folding matching piece g is provided on the rear side of the handlebar that cooperates with it, and the folding locking piece q is connected to the folding matching piece g so that the scooter is locked in a folded state. This arrangement significantly improves the portability and safety of the scooter. This not only makes it convenient for users to carry and store the scooter and reduces the occupied space, but also in the folded state, the scooter is not easy to unfold due to accidental touch or external force, thereby avoiding possible safety hazards.

[0057] More preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the folding fitting is a locking piece hinged to the handlebar base, and a locking hole w is provided on the locking piece. The tail frame 23 and the tail frame cover 13 are both tilted upward from front to back. The folding locking piece q is a hook body that matches the locking hole w, and the hook body is bent forward and downward; the hook body is hooked with the locking hole w so that the scooter is kept in a folded state. The locking piece can be rotated so that the angle can be adjusted to fit the hook body to achieve connection. This design embodies good engineering design and user experience. The folding and locking functions of the scooter are realized through a simple mechanical structure, without complicated operations or additional tools, and the user can complete the folding and unlocking process conveniently and quickly.

[0058] It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made to the utility model without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
