Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric bicycles, in particular to a mid-mounted motor assembly combined with a frame of an electric bicycle. Background Art

[0002] As an environmentally friendly and convenient means of transportation, electric bicycles have attracted widespread attention and application in recent years. One of their core technologies is how to effectively integrate the motor with the frame to achieve efficient and stable power transmission while also ensuring lightweight and stable overall structure.

[0003] In traditional electric bicycle designs, the motor is typically mounted in the middle or front of the frame, requiring additional space on the frame for the motor. The motor is typically connected directly to the frame via traditional welding or bolting. Bolting is often not strong enough and cannot effectively maintain a tight connection between the motor and the frame, making it prone to loosening or breaking during use, affecting the stability and safety of the vehicle. The welding process can easily cause the frame to deform, also affecting the stability and safety of the vehicle. Furthermore, a loose connection between the motor and the frame can lead to problems such as low transmission efficiency and poor installation accuracy. Utility Model Content
