Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a motorcycle that can carry two or more people or load goods. More specifically, it relates to a motorcycle that is a two-wheeled vehicle that typically has two wheels and operates through a steering wheel. As a convenient and compact driving device, it is used not only for drivers of mail delivery, food delivery, and small goods delivery, but also for driving small items or for transportation purposes. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, motorcycles are widely used in cities for transporting small items such as mail, food, and goods due to their low price, small size, and low energy consumption. In particular, as a steering wheel-type device, they are similar in size to bicycles but can be effectively moved by a gasoline engine or a small electric motor, making them widely used for moving people in complex urban areas where vehicle movement is difficult or in areas with poor road conditions.

[0003] Motorcycles can operate over a wide area and are effective even in bad road conditions such as traffic congestion. They are also easy to operate, so they are widely used by people of all ages and genders. However, they have limitations in terms of the amount of goods they can carry and the number of passengers they can carry, which is significantly less than that of cars or buses. Therefore, they cannot be widely used for passenger transport.

[0004] In addition, the space for the driver and passengers or the cargo space of the motorcycle is connected. Therefore, when passengers are riding, the driver and passengers can only move in close proximity, making the structure difficult to use for passenger purposes. When loading cargo, it can only be loaded above the driver's seat, thus limiting the amount of cargo that can be transported.

[0005] In addition, because the seat for the driver and passenger is placed on the upper part of the main body of the motorcycle, the passenger's legs can only protrude to the sides of the main body, which increases the possibility of accidents caused by collisions with surrounding objects during movement.

[0006] Patent No. 10-2162218 discloses a hybrid motorcycle, while Patent No. 218 discloses a motorcycle comprising a main body with a front wheel, rear wheel, steering mechanism, seat, etc., and a battery, engine, and rear wheel support. Patent No. 218, as a hybrid motorcycle powered by an engine and battery, like conventional motorcycles, features a one-piece seat structure. When a passenger (other than the driver) sits behind the seat, they can only sit close to the driver, making it unsuitable for passenger use. Furthermore, cargo can only be loaded into a separate cargo box above the seat, limiting the amount of cargo that can be transported. In particular, the passenger sitting behind the seat can only ride in a riding posture, inevitably causing their legs to protrude to the sides of the motorcycle's main body, increasing the likelihood of collisions with surrounding objects during operation. Additionally, due to the motorcycle's structure, the passenger sitting behind the seat is positioned higher than the driver, greatly increasing the possibility of being thrown forward in a collision and suffering serious injury or death.

[0034] Motorcycles, as a means of transportation, are widely used due to their low price, small size, and low energy consumption, allowing them to operate over a wide area and even in adverse road conditions such as traffic congestion. Their simple operation makes them suitable for people of all ages and genders. However, they have drawbacks, including a limited cargo capacity and the ability to carry only 2 to 3 people. In particular, the seat for the driver and passengers is a single, integrated unit, which can cause operational problems in certain situations. Furthermore, the presence of additional passengers increases the risk of accidents due to collisions, and the high rear of the seat presents a structural issue.

[0035] This utility model aims to solve this problem and includes a main body 100 forming the shape of the motorcycle of this utility model, a front wheel 200 installed at the front end of the main body 100 and a rear wheel 250 installed at the rear end, a steering device 300 connected to the front wheel 200 installed at the front end of the main body 100 and adjusting the steering of the motorcycle, a driver's seat installed at the central part of the main body 100 for controlling the steering device 300 used to operate the motorcycle of this utility model, and an auxiliary seat 500 installed behind the driver's seat 400 for additional personnel other than the driver or for carrying goods. For the safety and convenience of the auxiliary personnel riding in the auxiliary seat 500, the driver's seat 400 and the auxiliary seat 500 are formed independently of each other with a predetermined length separation.

[0036] The main body 100 of this utility model has the shape of a motorcycle and has a front wheel 200 at the front end and a rear wheel 250 at the rear end. As the main body forming the motorcycle, the main body 100 needs to have structural rigidity sufficient to support a certain weight of the driver, assistants, and cargo, and to withstand impacts such as collisions without damage. Specifically, a steering device 300 for steering the front wheel 200 is installed at the front end of the main body 100, and an engine for driving the motorcycle is located at the rear end. Various designs are applicable depending on the environment and purpose of use. Of course, in the embodiments of this utility model, the engine for driving the motorcycle is shown located at the rear, but depending on the situation, the engine may also be located in the center of the main body 100. To maintain structural rigidity, the main body 100 is made of metal, but to accommodate various designs, it may include materials such as plastic.

[0037] The driver's seat 400 of this invention is located at the center of the main body, thus controlling the driver's seating configuration of the steering device 300. A seat 410 made of elastic material is disposed on the upper part of the driver's seat 400 to allow the driver to maintain a stable posture after sitting and to absorb vibrations from the lower part during operation, thereby improving riding comfort. The driver's seat 400 is positioned at an appropriate distance from the steering device 300 so that the driver can adjust the steering device 300, but it is installed independently of the auxiliary seat 500 installed at the rear. This allows an additional person riding in the auxiliary seat 500 to sit without being pressed against the driver, thus providing the advantage of using the motorcycle for small passenger transport rather than personal use. Specifically, since the driver's seat 400 is formed in a cylindrical shape at the center of the main body 100, the seat 410 is installed in an openable and closable form, allowing various objects to be placed in the empty space inside the driver's seat 400 to improve usability. Furthermore, when the motorcycle of this invention is electrically powered, placing a removable battery in the driver's seat 400 can improve operating efficiency. To improve the driver's riding comfort and ease of steering, and to suit the driver's riding posture, the seat 410 preferably includes a triangular cushion. Additionally, when an additional passenger is seated in the rear auxiliary seat 500, a safety bar 420 can be installed behind the seat 410 for ease of entry and exit and safety during motorcycle turns. Traditional motorcycle structures consist of a single seat, and additional passengers can only sit close to the driver, resulting in poor safety. However, this invention has the advantage of being an independent seating structure, and the safety bar 420 allows additional passengers to grip the center of gravity during operation. In addition to the safety bar 420, a one-touch removable seatbelt (not shown) can be added between the driver's seat 400 and the auxiliary seat 500. The seat belt, which connects the driver's seat 400 and the auxiliary seat 500 on both sides, is preferably configured in a one-touch detachable form so that it is substantially fixedly installed in the driver's seat 400 and, when an additional person is sitting in the auxiliary seat 500, it can be separated from the auxiliary seat 500 and fixed to the body of the additional person after sitting.

[0038] The auxiliary seating unit 500 of this invention serves as a platform for additional passengers (other than the driver) or for carrying cargo, and is installed at a certain distance behind the driver's seating unit 400. An additional passenger seat 510 is provided on the upper part of the auxiliary seating unit 500 so that additional passengers (other than the driver) can sit stably. For comfort, the additional passenger seat 510, like the driver's seat 410, preferably includes a cushion made of elastic material. To prevent additional passengers from falling during operation, support parts 520 formed at a certain height can be installed at the rear or sides of the auxiliary seating unit 500. Figure 3a , 3b An embodiment of the support portion 520 is shown. Figure 3b The support section 520 is installed at a certain height behind and on the left and right sides of the auxiliary seating section 500, thereby providing more stable support for the additional passengers. Figure 3a The support section 520 shown can only support additional passengers at the rear, but by adjusting the height of the support section 520, simple goods can be loaded even without additional passengers, thus offering the advantage of being suitable for multiple purposes. Furthermore, in this invention, the additional passenger seat 520 is installed in a replaceable form; therefore, when using the motorcycle of this invention for passenger transport, the additional passenger seat 520 can be installed and, when used for cargo transport, it can be replaced as follows: Figure 4 The embodiment shown has a cargo loading section 600. In this way, the upper part of the auxiliary seating section 500 can be replaced with an additional passenger seat section 510 or a cargo loading section 600, thus providing the advantage of using the motorcycle of this invention in various situations. Of course, the cargo loading section 600 can be integrally formed at the rear of the main body section 100, thereby allowing the entire rear of the driver's seating section 400 to be used as cargo space, or one side or the entire cargo loading section 600 can be used as advertising space.

[0039] The item storage section 800 of this utility model is configured to be located in the space between the driver's seat section 400 and the auxiliary seat section 500, and is designed to store small items such as bags and pouches belonging to an additional person sitting in the auxiliary seat section 500. Since support sections 850 for the additional person to place their feet are formed on both sides of the item storage section 800, it is preferably configured to balance the distance between the lower rear ends of the driver's seat section 400 and the lower rear ends of the auxiliary seat section 500, the height at which the stored items can be stably stored, and the width of the main body section 100 and the support sections 850.

[0040] The height adjustment unit 700 of this invention is configured to adjust the height of the passenger seat 410 or the auxiliary passenger seat 510 located above the driver's seat 400 or the auxiliary passenger seat 500. Since the motorcycle of this invention independently comprises a driver's seat 400 for the driver and an auxiliary passenger seat 500 for the passenger, it has a seat structure that allows adjustment of the height of the passenger seat 410 or the auxiliary passenger seat 510 to match the body structure of the passenger in each configuration. By actively utilizing this independent seat structure, the entire height of the passenger seat 410 or the auxiliary passenger seat 510 can be adjusted, or the front, rear, left, and right heights can be adjusted individually, thereby matching the body conditions of the passenger and providing the advantage of safe operation.

[0041] The characteristic of this motorcycle is that the diameter of the rear wheel 250 is smaller than the diameter of the front wheel 250. Existing motorcycles have an integrated seat structure, and auxiliary components such as the engine are located at the rear, resulting in the rear seat being higher than the front seat. Due to this structure, the rear passenger's seating position is higher than the driver's, leading to situations where, in the event of a collision, the rear passenger is thrown forward. Because of these problems, motorcycles are widely considered a mode of transportation prone to fatal accidents and have been limited in their widespread use for passenger transport. In this motorcycle, by setting the diameter of the rear wheel 250 to be smaller than the diameter of the front wheel 200, the height of the rear auxiliary seating section 500 can be structurally reduced, and the configuration of the rear-mounted engine and other components can be more flexible. Furthermore, while increasing the length of the motorcycle could artificially lower the height of the auxiliary seating section 500, a longer motorcycle presents challenges in driving. The motorcycle of this invention has the advantage of adjusting the diameter of the rear wheel 250 and the front wheel 200 and structurally reducing the height of the auxiliary riding part 500, thereby enabling a compact motorcycle design. Figure 5 This diagram illustrates that when the diameter difference between the front wheel 200 and the rear wheel 250 is R, the height difference between the driver's seat 400 and the auxiliary seat 500 can be reduced by D. Specifically, if the auxiliary seat 500 is lower, the knees of the additional person in the auxiliary seat 500 can be inserted into the lower part of the driver's seat 400, thereby ensuring sufficient remaining space between the driver's seat 400 and the auxiliary seat 500, while minimizing the length of the motorcycle and maximizing ease of operation.

[0042] Additionally, a cover (not shown) can be installed separately. This cover is rotatably connected to the rear of the auxiliary seating unit 500 and can cover a certain area around the auxiliary seating unit 500. When weather changes such as thunderstorms occur during operation, the cover allows the passenger in the auxiliary seating unit 500 to move comfortably. The cover is rotatably mounted around a rotatable connection point, allowing it to be tilted backward for the passenger to sit on. After the passenger sits on the cover, it is fixed to the driver's seating unit 400 in its original position, thus forming a partially sealed space to maintain the passenger's comfortable riding position. Figure 6 When the height difference between the driver's seat 400 and the auxiliary seat 500 is D, the knees of an additional person can be placed behind the rear driver's seat 400, thereby shortening the length of the motorcycle (W) and enabling the motorcycle to operate more effectively.
