[0067] Specifically, there are multiple protective bars 9, and the multiple protective bars 9 form a square structure. The multiple protective bars 9 are respectively connected to the support bar 43 and the first fixed bar 41 to form a guardrail. The cargo placed on the support plate 3 is limited by the guardrail, which solves the problem of the scooter slipping and being damaged when passing through bumpy roads.

[0068] In order to ensure the steering stability and the weight requirement of the scooter, the scooter adopts two fixed wheels 42 and two universal wheels 45 as support wheels, which can safely place objects weighing 100 kg.
