The sponge pad not only increases the softness of the seat 7, but also can fix the body of the rider to a certain extent, preventing sliding during rapid turning or emergency braking, thereby enhancing the riding safety.

[0035] As Figure 1As shown, a foot pedal 3 is provided at one end of the fixed bracket 2, and a driven wheel 4 is provided below the foot pedal 3. The foot pedal 3 allows the elderly to adjust the position of the foot as needed to find the most comfortable riding posture, which helps to reduce the fatigue that may be caused by long-term riding and improve the riding comfort. The fixed bracket 2 serves as a supporting structure of the foot pedal 3, ensuring the stability and reliability of the foot pedal 3.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a driving wheel 8 is provided on one side of the rotating mechanism 6, and an auxiliary wheel 9 is provided on one side of the driving wheel 8. The driving wheel 8, as the main driving force source of the scooter, provides stable driving performance, ensures the smooth driving of the vehicle on various road surfaces, and provides a safe and reliable travel method for the elderly. The setting of the auxiliary wheel 9 increases the stability of the scooter during driving, especially when turning or encountering uneven roads, the auxiliary wheel 9 can assist the driving wheel 8 to maintain the balance of the vehicle, so that the elderly can control the scooter more easily.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, an adjustment rod 12 is provided on one side of the foot pedal 3, a handle 10 is provided at one end of the adjustment rod 12, and a lighting lamp 11 is provided on the adjustment rod 12. The lighting lamp 11 is installed on the adjustment rod 12 to provide additional lighting at night or in a low-light environment, thereby ensuring that the elderly have a clear field of vision during riding and reducing the risk of accidents. By setting the adjustment rod 12, the user can easily adjust the position or angle of the handle 10 to adapt to the elderly with different heights or riding habits. This adjustability enhances the applicability and comfort of the scooter.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer surfaces of the base plate 1 and the foot pedal 3 are provided with a plurality of through holes, and the plurality of through holes are evenly and equidistantly arranged in a linear array. The through holes can effectively reduce the possibility of water accumulation on the surfaces of the base plate 1 and the foot pedal 3. In rainy days or humid environments, this structure can quickly drain away moisture and prevent slipping accidents, thereby enhancing the safety of the elderly when using the scooter. The through holes make the base plate 1 and the foot pedal 3 easier to clean, and dirt and debris can be discharged through the through holes, simplifying the cleaning process. At the same time, this structure is also convenient for inspecting and maintaining the bottom parts of the scooter.

[0039] During implementation, first, when the scooter needs to be charged, the user can push the seat 7 toward the handle 10, and the seat 7 drives the rotating rod 601 to rotate, so that the third connecting rod 604 drives the battery 608 to rotate, so that the battery 608 rotates and the charging port 606 faces upward. At the same time, the damper in the sleeve rod 602 limits the rotation to prevent excessive rotation. When charging is completed, the user can unplug the charging cable, and then turn back the seat 7 to rotate the battery 608 back into the battery compartment 608.

[0040] The advantages of this technical solution in practical applications include but are not limited to the following:

[0041] 1. The rotating mechanism allows the user to point the battery charging port upward simply by turning the seat, eliminating the need to bend or squat;

[0042] 2. The pedals provide a more stable and comfortable riding experience, allowing users to have better support and balance during riding.
