[0026] Next, in combination with the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] As shown in the attached Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a pedal assembly is provided on the outside of a bicycle pedal. The pedal assembly includes an outer housing and an internal system. The internal system is disposed inside the outer housing. A light-transmitting hole is formed on the outer side surface of the outer housing. The internal system includes a power source, a switch, and a lamp bead. The power source, the switch, and the lamp bead are connected in series. The position of the lamp bead is directly opposite to the light-transmitting hole, and the switch is disposed outside the outer housing. When applying the product of this solution, a pedal specifically provided with an installation groove is required. It is necessary to turn on the assembly and insert it into the corresponding groove of the pedal. After starting the switch, the battery and the lamp bead form a circuit, and the lamp bead emits light. Through the light-transmitting hole of the outer housing, the light can be seen. Applying this solution, the assembly can be directly inserted into the corresponding position of the pedal, and the switch is turned on, and the pedal can emit light. Applying this solution has the advantages of convenient installation, strong promptness, and novel beauty.

[0028] As shown in the attached Figure 3-5 As described, the internal system further includes a USB charging port. The USB charging port is electrically connected to the power source and leads to the outside of the outer housing. The internal circuit of the USB charging interface is disposed on a circuit board, and the circuit board is disposed between the battery and the lamp bead.
