Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brake handles, in particular to a combined power-off brake handle. Background Art

[0002] Scooters are widely recognized for their advantages of being easy to carry and able to be ridden smoothly on the road. A handle with a brake power-off function is installed on the handlebar tube to play the role of deceleration and braking, thereby improving driving safety, such as CN220682560U, an electric vehicle Hall power-off brake handle;

[0003] Most existing electric scooters do not have turn signal functions, which poses a hidden danger to road traffic safety;

[0004] As technology matures and the industry develops, equipping electric scooters with turn signals is an inevitable development trend. However, the brake handle, bell, turn signal switch, etc. of existing electric scooters are installed separately on the handlebar crossbar, often away from the brake handle. This not only results in a larger crossbar size for the scooter, increasing the manufacturing cost of the scooter, but also requires the power-off handle, turn signal switch, bell, and other functional modules to be installed separately when attached to the crossbar, making assembly inconvenient and cumbersome. It also takes up limited installation space on the handlebar and creates a complex structure. Moreover, during riding, the user needs to take their hands off the brake handle to activate the bell or turn signal switch to warn of surrounding objects. This makes it easy for the user to take their hands off the handlebar during operation, leading to the risk of falling when driving with one hand. This makes operation more cumbersome and inconvenient, increasing the risk of riding safety. Utility Model Content
