Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a curved handlebar type handlebar electric transformer seat mounting structure, which is mainly used in the technical field of bicycles. Background Art
[0002] Bicycles are not only used as a means of transportation, but are also often used for sports and leisure, such as road bikes, mountain bikes, folding bikes, electric bikes, and stunt bikes. For example, the drop-bar handlebar design used on road bikes typically consists of an upper section and lower sections located below the upper section. The upper section consists of two opposing flat grips, while the lower section includes a downwardly curved handlebar connected to the flat grips, and a tail pipe connected to the curved handlebar. This allows the rider to adjust the grip position as needed, thereby changing the riding posture and hand position, and providing the rider with a more direct sense of control.
[0003] The bicycle market has flourished in recent years. Generally speaking, bicycles are often equipped with derailleurs, allowing the chain to be moved to different chainrings based on terrain and user needs. Derailleurs include front and rear derailleurs, which control the chain's position on the front and rear chainrings, respectively. With technological advancements, in addition to mechanical derailleurs, more and more bicycles are adopting electronic derailleurs, including wired and wireless electronic derailleurs.
[0004] As for the aforementioned drop handlebars used on road sports cars, riders typically use the handlebars bent downward to grip the tail tube for long-distance, high-speed riding, which requires frequent gear changes. However, current electronic shifters are primarily mounted on the flat grip portion of the upper handlebar section or the brake lever on the bent tube portion of the lower handlebar section. With this design, the rider needs to move a long distance to operate the shift when riding downward, making the shifting operation more complicated and unable to meet the demand for real-time gear changes. Further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a handlebar-type electric shifter mounting structure, which can complete the speed change action by simply moving the fingers when the rider is riding with the handlebar bent down, making the speed change operation method simpler and completing the speed change in real time, thereby improving its practicality. At the same time, it can change the grip position without changing the grip position and shorten the finger movement distance during the speed change operation, greatly improving the safety of bicycle operation, and overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting portion may be a first mounting surface formed on the inner surface opposite to the upper edge of the tail pipe portion, and the electronic transmission may be mounted on the corresponding first mounting surface using the base, making it easier for the rider to operate the electronic transmission using his thumb.
[0008] Preferably, the first mounting surface may be planar or arc-concave.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting portion may be a second mounting surface formed on the front surface of the vehicle at the upper edge of the tail pipe portion, and the electronic transmission may be mounted on the corresponding second mounting surface using the base, making it convenient for the rider to control the electronic transmission using his index finger.
[0010] Preferably, the second mounting surface may be planar or arc-concave.
