Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a front wheel mudguard and an electric vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Mudguards are structures used in electric vehicles to block mud, water, and gravel kicked up by the wheels. They are generally made of thin metal or plastic sheets, with a roughly arc-shaped interface. When the mudguard is fitted to the wheel, its front and rear ends extend towards the front and rear of the wheel. Additionally, baffles can be installed on both sides of the mudguard to enhance its blocking effect. The front wheel mudguard typically has a mounting port for securing disc brake hoses or drum brake cables to ensure cable stability.
[0003] Existing front wheel mudguards are all one-piece designs, which are inconvenient to install. Moreover, the gap between the one-piece front wheel mudguard and the steering gear is too large, allowing mud and sand to enter the front fork through the gap between the front wheel mudguard and the front fork, affecting the steering performance of the front fork.
