[0020] 1. Head tube; 2. Upper frame; 21. Front frame; 22. Rear frame; 3. Lower frame; 4. Movement space; 5. Seat; 6. Foot pedals; 7. Handlebars; 8. Upper rear frame; 9. Lower rear frame; 10. Front wheel; 11. Rear wheel. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0022] The following is for reference. Figure 1 A motorcycle according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0023] Motorcycles are generally divided into two categories. One type is mainly designed for stunts and jumps, with a seat height of around 800-900mm, which is quite high and not very friendly to shorter riders. The other type is mainly designed for climbing, obstacle courses, and other competitive purposes, and is basically ridden in a standing position. The seat is generally low, with little to no clear seating position, resulting in a very uncomfortable riding posture that does not conform to the range of human-machine comfort.

[0024] Therefore, this utility model proposes a motorcycle to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the motorcycle includes: a frame, a seat 5, and at least two pairs of foot pedals 6.

[0026] The frame consists of: head tube 1, upper frame 2, and lower frame 3.

[0027] The front end of the upper frame 2 is connected to the head tube 1 and extends rearward. The upper frame 2 is recessed downward in the middle along the front-rear direction to form an active space 4 above the upper frame 2.

[0028] Specifically, for the upper frame 2 that connects to the head tube 1 at the front end and extends backward, the upper frame 2 is recessed downward in the middle along the front-rear direction to form an activity space 4 above the upper frame 2. This activity space 4 can be used for competitive purposes such as climbing and overcoming obstacles, effectively increasing the amount of activity the driver squats when climbing and overcoming obstacles, greatly increasing the vehicle's jumping ability and getting out of trouble, and is also suitable for people of different heights.

[0029] It should be understood that the middle part of the upper frame 2 in the front-rear direction refers to the part between the two ends of the upper frame 2 in the front-rear direction, which is recessed downward to form a sufficiently large movement space 4 above the upper frame 2.

[0030] Furthermore, the lower frame 3 is located below the upper frame 2, and its front end is connected to the head tube 1, extending rearward and downward. The lower frame 3, which connects to the head tube 1 at its front end and extends rearward and downward, can be used to support the power unit.

[0031] Furthermore, the seat 5 is located at the rear of the upper frame 2. With this arrangement, the portion between the two ends of the upper frame 2 in the front-to-back direction is recessed, making the rear of the upper frame 2 tilted. Thus, the seat 5 is installed at the rear of the upper frame 2, and the seat 5 is also tilted, which can achieve a lower seat height, which is beneficial for shorter riders.

[0032] Moreover, the combination of the seat 5 and the concave upper frame 2 makes the rider's riding posture more in line with the comfort requirements of ergonomics, and better facilitates the rider to switch freely between climbing and seated riding.

[0033] In addition, at least two pairs of pedals 6 are spaced apart on the lower frame 3 in the front-rear direction, and at least two pairs of pedals 6 are located in front of the seat 5. That is, a pair of pedals 6 includes left and right pedals 6, at least two pairs of pedals 6 are connected to the lower frame 3 in the front-rear direction, and at least two pairs of pedals 6 are located in front of the seat 5. In this way, the rider can choose to step on any pair of pedals 6, providing the rider with a suitable riding posture. Alternatively, the rider can step on both pairs of pedals 6 at the same time, providing the rider with a larger pedaling area. Compared to stepping on a single pedal 6, it is more conducive for the rider to use leg muscles to balance and stabilize the body, thereby relaxing the upper body and reducing fatigue.

[0034] Of the at least two pairs of pedals 6, the pair of pedals 6 located further back can enable riding postures such as climbing and standing on obstacles, while the pair of pedals 6 located further forward provides the rider with a more comfortable leg sitting posture. The riding posture is relatively stable and comfortable, making it suitable for comfortable commuting occasions.

[0035] When used in normal riding mode, the rider can select the rearmost pair of pedals 6 from at least two pairs of pedals 6 and sit on the seat 5. When used in climbing or obstacle riding mode, the rider can select the rearmost pair of pedals 6 from at least two pairs of pedals 6 and straddle the activity space 4 above the upper frame 2. In this case, the rider is in a standing position, which is beneficial for breaking through obstacles in front and protecting their own safety. When used in daily commuting mode, the rider can select the frontmost pair of pedals 6 from at least two pairs of pedals 6 and sit on the seat 5, which provides the rider with a more comfortable riding posture, allowing the leg muscles to relax and the body to relax.

[0036] Therefore, by designing a concave upper frame 2 and at least two pairs of foot pedals 6, and designing a seat 5 on the upper frame 2 that conforms to the human sitting posture, the motorcycle can accommodate the driving needs of different people of different heights and in different backgrounds, and is suitable for various driving scenarios such as riding, climbing, and commuting, thus meeting the different driving needs of drivers.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper frame 2 is recessed downward in the middle along the front-rear direction to form the lowest point, and at least two pairs of foot pedals 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the lowest point along the front-rear direction.

[0038] This configuration places at least two pairs of pedals 6 on either side of the lowest point of the concave upper frame 2. In climbing and obstacle riding modes, since the rider stands and needs to straddle the space 4 above the upper frame 2, using the pair of pedals 6 behind the lowest point allows the rider's feet to push backward, enabling riding in this scenario. In daily commuting mode, the rider needs to relax their leg muscles, and can use the pair of pedals 6 in front of the lowest point for leg relaxation. Furthermore, for taller riders, placing at least two pairs of pedals 6 behind the lowest point would prevent effective leg relaxation and a comfortable riding posture.

[0039] Specifically, the upper frame 2 includes a front frame portion 21 and a rear frame portion 22. The front end of the front frame portion 21 is connected to the head tube 1 and extends downward and rearward. The front end of the rear frame portion 22 is connected to the rear end of the front frame portion 21 and extends upward and rearward, so as to form an active space 4 at the part where the front frame portion 21 and the rear frame portion 22 are connected to each other.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the front end of the front frame 21 is connected to the head tube 1 and extends downward and backward, while the front end of the rear frame 22 is connected to the rear end of the front frame 21 and extends upward and backward, so that an activity space 4 is formed between the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22, which is used for the rider to straddle the activity space 4 above the upper frame 2 when in climbing or obstacle riding mode.

[0041] The rear end of the front frame 21 and the front end of the rear frame 22 are smoothly connected to prevent stress concentration at the connection between the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22, thus ensuring the structural strength and rigidity of the upper frame 2.

[0042] Furthermore, the seat 5 is mounted on the rear frame 22. Since the rear frame 22 is tilted upwards and backwards, the seat 5 is also tilted. This seat 5 design conforms to ergonomic posture, allowing for a lower seat height, which is beneficial for shorter riders.

[0043] Furthermore, the connection point between the front frame portion 21 and the rear frame portion 22 is drawn as a straight line in the vertical direction, and the angle between the front frame portion 21 and the straight line is smaller than the angle between the rear frame portion 22 and the straight line.

[0044] Specifically, the front frame section 21 has a greater downward and rearward tilt than the rear frame section 22 has a greater upward and rearward tilt. In other words, the front frame section 21 is steeper than the rear frame section 22. Since the rider needs to switch between the seat 5 and the space above the frame 2 for different riding scenarios, the rear frame section 22, located between the seat 5 and the space 4, is designed to be relatively flat, facilitating the rider's free switching of riding posture. Furthermore, the steeper front frame section 21 provides a larger space 4 to accommodate riders of larger stature when straddling it.

[0045] Furthermore, if the rear frame section 22 is designed to be relatively steep, the surface of the seat 5 will also be relatively steep, which may cause the driver to slide down from the seat 5, making it difficult for the driver to sit stably on the seat 5.

[0046] Furthermore, the seat 5 is configured to recline downwards in a direction perpendicular to the rear surface of the upper frame 2. In other words, the seat 5 is made of a flexible material, and when the driver sits on the seat 5, the seat 5 can recline downwards in a direction perpendicular to the rear surface of the frame 22, effectively meeting the driver's requirements for comfortable riding.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the motorcycle also includes: a handlebar 7, which is positioned at the top of the head tube 1, and at least two pairs of foot pedals 6 located behind the handlebar 7 in the forward-backward direction. With the handlebar 7 positioned at the top of the head tube 1, the rider uses the handlebar 7 to steer. The left handlebar is positioned around the left side of the handlebar 7 and near its left end, while the right handlebar is correspondingly positioned on the right side of the handlebar 7 and near its right end for easy gripping to turn the handlebar 7 and thus steer the motorcycle. Conversely, the brake pedal can be replaced by a brake lever located on either the left or right handlebar.

[0048] At least two pairs of foot pedals 6 are arranged behind the handlebars 7 in the front-to-back direction to meet the ergonomic requirements and facilitate the rider to meet the riding requirements of various driving scenarios such as riding, climbing, and commuting.

[0049] The handlebars 7, seat 5, and any pair of pedals 6 form a triangular structure. With this configuration, when the handlebars 7, seat 5, and the foremost pair of pedals 6 from at least two pairs of pedals 6 form a triangular structure, this riding posture can be used for daily commuting; when the handlebars 7, seat 5, and the rearmost pair of pedals 6 from at least two pairs of pedals 6 form a triangular structure, this riding posture can be used for normal riding.

[0050] Furthermore, the line connecting the handlebars 7 to one of the at least two pairs of pedals 6 passes through the center of the activity space 4. It should be understood that the center of the activity space 4 refers to the part of the activity space 4 that is relatively central. The line connecting the handlebars 7 to one of the at least two pairs of pedals 6 passes through the center of this activity space 4, which enables the rider to meet the riding requirements in climbing and obstacle riding modes.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the line connecting the handlebars 7 and the rearmost pair of pedals 6 of at least two pairs of pedals 6 passes through the center of the activity space 4. In this way, the driver can step on the rearmost pair of pedals 6 and straddle the activity space 4 above the upper frame 2, which is conducive to breaking through obstacles in front and protecting his own safety.

[0052] In addition, the motorcycle also includes a rear frame, which has an upper rear frame 8 and a lower rear frame 9. The front end of the upper rear frame 8 is connected to the rear end of the upper frame 2, and the front end of the lower rear frame 9 is connected to the rear end of the lower frame 3. The rear ends of the upper rear frame 8 and the lower rear frame 9 are connected together. In this configuration, the upper rear frame 8 is connected to the rear end of the upper frame 2, and the lower rear frame 9 is connected to the rear end of the lower frame 3, and the rear ends of the rear frames are fixedly connected. Furthermore, the motorcycle also includes a front wheel 10 and a rear wheel 11 for driving and steering.

[0053] Therefore, by designing a concave upper frame 2 and at least two pairs of foot pedals 6, and designing a seat 5 on the upper frame 2 that conforms to the human sitting posture, when used in normal riding mode, the driver can select the rearmost pair of foot pedals 6 from the at least two pairs of foot pedals 6 and sit on the seat 5; when used in climbing or obstacle riding mode, the driver can select the rearmost pair of foot pedals 6 from the at least two pairs of foot pedals 6 and straddle the activity space 4 above the upper frame 2, in which case the driver is in a standing position, which is conducive to breaking through obstacles in front and protecting their own safety; when used in daily commuting mode, the driver can select the forward pair of foot pedals 6 from the at least two pairs of foot pedals 6 and sit on the seat 5, providing the driver with a more comfortable riding posture, which can relax the leg muscles and soothe the body. This utility model of motorcycle can accommodate the driving needs of different people of different heights and backgrounds, and is suitable for various driving scenarios such as riding, climbing, and commuting, meeting the different driving needs of drivers.
