[0002] With the development of technology, the structural design of electric bicycles has also made great progress. Thanks to the technological development of electric motors and batteries, traditional motorcycles based on fuel engines, such as off-road motorcycles, can be transformed into electric motorcycles by replacing the powertrain. Electric motorcycles can also be essentially classified as electric bicycles, and their operating principles and methods are consistent with those of electric bicycles. Electric motorcycles are increasingly popular with people for the fun of off-road riding. Compared with ordinary electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, especially electric off-road motorcycles, have significant structural characteristics due to the need to ride on bumpy outdoor roads. The typical structural characteristic is that the rear wheel is usually installed on the body with a shock-absorbing suspension structure. Such a shock-absorbing suspension structure is conducive to improving the passability of electric motorcycles when riding in the wild and reducing the degree of bumps during riding. It can be said that the shock-absorbing suspension structure is one of the important configurations of electric motorcycles.

[0003] The shock-absorbing suspension structure not only needs to meet the basic shock-absorbing suspension functions, but also usually needs to have the characteristics of compact structure, simple and stable operation, easy installation and maintenance on the vehicle body. The vehicle shock-absorbing suspension structure in the existing technology is difficult to meet the above requirements, and its structure needs to be developed and designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, a grooved support beam with a groove in the middle is installed below the front part of the rear flat fork and the front part of the flat fork connecting cross beam, and the middle part of the second rocker arm is located in the groove of the grooved support beam.

[0007] Preferably, the fork connecting crossbeam and the fork base are an integrally formed structure, and the end of the fork connecting crossbeam is fixed to the rear fork by welding or bolting; the grooved support beam is integrally formed, and its end is fixed to the rear fork by welding or bolting.

[0008] Preferably, the upper crossbeam of the frame and the upper crossbeam base are an integrally formed structure, and the end of the upper crossbeam of the frame is fixed to the frame body by welding or bolting; the lower crossbeam of the frame and the lower crossbeam base are an integrally formed structure, and the end of the lower crossbeam of the frame is fixed to the frame body by welding or bolting.

[0009] Preferably, the shock absorber is a hydraulic spring shock absorber.

[0010] The advantages and positive effects of the utility model are:

[0011] The utility model provides a shock-absorbing suspension structure for a vehicle with a reasonable structural design, which is applied to an electric motorcycle to play the effect of shock-absorbing suspension. The upper crossbeam and the upper crossbeam base of the shock-absorbing suspension structure are integrated with the frame body, and the horizontal fork connecting crossbeam is integrated with the rear horizontal fork. The overall structure is compact and stable, easy to install on the vehicle body, and easy to maintain. When the shock absorber is subjected to bumps during riding, the shock absorber is forced to shrink and expand, and the postures of the first rocker arm and the second rocker arm change accordingly, so that the operation is stable and the action is simple. Furthermore, the shock absorber of the shock-absorbing suspension structure is located in the space above the frame body, above the first rocker arm and the second rocker arm, and in front of the rear wheel, so that the shock absorber is well protected. During outdoor riding, the shock absorber can be less affected by bumps and collisions. The shock-absorbing suspension structure for a vehicle has the shock-absorbing effect of an ideal shock absorber, improves the driving comfort of the vehicle, and can prevent the bottoming problem caused by large impacts, thereby improving the safety and stability of the vehicle.
