Both ends of the front axle 21 are connected to front wheel bodies 4, and the two front wheel bodies 4 are respectively connected to the front axle 21 through the shock-absorbing parts 22. A seat 5 is provided above the main frame 1, and a battery 6 is installed below the seat 5. Rear wheel bodies 9 are installed on both sides of the rear wheel shock-absorbing drive assembly 3. When in use, the cooperation of the front wheel shock-absorbing drive assembly 2 and the rear wheel shock-absorbing drive assembly 3 can fully reduce shock during the movement of the vehicle, thereby improving the comfort of the vehicle. In addition, the battery 6 installed on the rear side can cooperate to supply energy to the front wheel shock-absorbing drive assembly 2 and the rear wheel shock-absorbing drive assembly 3, and perform shock reduction through the rear wheel shock-absorbing drive assembly 3.

[0029] The drive unit 23 includes a transmission chain 231, a first differential 232, a front wheel drive shaft 233, and a first drive motor 234. The first drive motor 234 is connected to the first differential 232 via the transmission chain 231, which in turn is connected to the front wheel drive shaft 233. Both ends of the drive shaft are connected to the front wheel body 4 via the shock absorber 22. Driven by the first drive motor 234, the transmission chain 231 rotates, simultaneously driving the first differential 232 and the front wheel drive shaft 233 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the front wheel body 4 to rotate. The front wheel and frame utilize independent suspension to ensure independent movement of the two wheels.

[0030] The rear-wheel damping drive assembly 3 includes a rear axle 31, a second differential 32, a shock absorber 22, and a second drive motor 33. The second differential 32 is mounted in the middle of the rear axle 31, and pedals 11 are mounted at the bottom of the main frame 1.
