In addition, by setting a front brake assembly and a front brake cable 44, the user can press the front brake handle 42, which drives the front brake assembly through the front brake cable 44, causing the front drive wheel 12 to stop rotating quickly. At the same time, by setting a rear brake assembly and a rear brake cable 45, the user can press the rear brake handle 43, which drives the rear brake assembly through the rear brake cable 45, causing the rear drive wheel to stop rotating quickly.

[0033] This embodiment integrates an electronic brake switch 41, a front brake assembly, and a rear brake assembly, enabling users to brake in multiple ways. This effectively prevents the inability to brake if one braking method fails, thus enhancing safety performance. Additionally, braking can be performed simultaneously, allowing the electric scooter to brake quickly.

[0034] This embodiment describes an electric scooter with dual braking function. The front drive wheel 12 is equipped with a hub motor 13. Both ends of the hub motor 13 are detachably connected to the front connecting seat 11. The hub motor 13 is electrically connected to the controller 22 via wires. With this configuration, the user can rotate the bicycle handlebars, thereby driving the hub motor 13 through the controller 22, causing the front drive wheel 12 to rotate.

[0035] The electric scooter with dual braking function described in this embodiment includes a front brake assembly comprising a front brake disc 51 coaxially driven with the front drive wheel 12 and a front brake caliper 52 detachably connected to the front connecting seat 11; one end of the front brake cable 44 is connected to the front brake grip 42; the other end of the front brake cable 44 passes through the handle seat 4, the front bar 1 and the front connecting seat 11 in sequence and is connected to the front brake caliper 52.
