[0024] A quick-release assembly 50 is provided between the mounting base 20 and the hub motor 10; the lower end of the shock absorber 30 is located inside the mounting base 20, and the upper end of the shock absorber 30 is connected to the upper side of the support frame 40; the support frame 40 is sleeved on the outside of the hub motor 10; both sides of the support frame 40 are equipped with adjustable pedal assemblies 60, each pedal assembly 60 having a foot pedal 61, which is rotatably adjustable on the support frame 40.

[0025] The quick-release component 50 enables rapid disassembly between the mounting base 20 and the hub motor 10; the shock absorber 30 provides shock absorption, reducing vibration to the user; the adjustable pedal assembly 60 allows for easy adjustment by users of different heights, enhancing the user experience; the adjustable foot pedal 61, mounted on the support frame 40, allows for angle adjustment, further improving the experience; the structural design of the pedal assembly 60 allows for flexible adjustment of the pedal height and angle to meet the personalized needs of different users; the quick-release component 50 facilitates the installation and removal of the hub motor 10, simplifying maintenance; the well-designed shock absorber 30 improves riding comfort and stability; and the coordinated operation of these components enhances the practicality and reliability of the balance scooter.

[0026] The hub motor 10 can be quickly disassembled by using the quick-release component 50, which facilitates maintenance and replacement and reduces maintenance costs and time; the shock absorber 30 provides shock absorption; the height of the pedal assembly 60 can be adjusted by using the height-adjustable pedal assembly 60; and the angle of the foot pedal 61 can be adjusted by using the rotatable adjustable foot pedal 61. The balance scooter has the adjustability of the pedal assembly 60, the convenience of the quick-release component 50, and the good shock absorption performance of the shock absorber 30.

[0027] The shock absorber 30 can be a cylinder shock absorber, a hydraulic cylinder shock absorber, an electromagnetic shock absorber, or a spring shock absorber, etc.

[0028] The quick-release assembly 50 includes a connecting block 51 and a bolt 52. The connecting block 51 is detachably mounted on the hub motor 10 via the bolt 52. The mounting base 20 is detachably snapped onto the outside of the connecting block 51. A connecting bolt 53 is provided between the connecting block 51 and the mounting base 20. The support frame 40 is provided with a terminal block 11 for wiring the hub motor 10.

[0029] When it is necessary to disassemble or install the hub motor 10, first loosen the connecting bolt 53, then separate the mounting base 20 from the connecting block 51, and then unscrew the bolt 52 to remove the connecting block 51 from the hub motor 10. The operation is simple and convenient. The terminal block 11 on the support frame 40 facilitates the wiring of the hub motor 10; the design of the connecting block 51 and the bolt 52 makes the disassembly and installation of the hub motor 10 simple and easy; the terminal block 11 facilitates the wiring of the hub motor 10, improves the efficiency of installation and maintenance, and also ensures the stability of the wiring connection.

[0030] The pedal assembly 60 also includes a mounting plate 62 and a limiting block 63 for defining the position of the foot pedal 61. The mounting plate 62 is adjustablely mounted on the support frame 40, and the limiting block 63 is movably mounted on the mounting plate 62. The foot pedal 61 abuts against the limiting block 63, and the foot pedal 61 is adjustablely mounted on the mounting plate 62 via the limiting block 63.

[0031] The height-adjustable mounting plate 62 allows for adjustment of the pedal height; the movable setting of the limit block 63 and its cooperation with the foot pedal 61 enable the foot pedal 61 to adjust its angle within a certain range and stabilize in the desired position, providing users with a flexible pedal adjustment method.

[0032] The mounting plate 62 is provided with a mounting step 621 for mounting the limiting block 63. The limiting block 63 has a bent slot 631 at the connection position with the mounting step 621. The limiting block 63 is movably mounted on the mounting step 621 through the slot 631.

[0033] The limiting block 63 has an integrally bent first inclined surface 632 and a second inclined surface 633 connected together. The first inclined surface 632 corresponds to the inner side wall of the foot pedal 61, and the second inclined surface 633 abuts against the lower side wall of the foot pedal 61.

[0034] The mounting step 621 provides a stable mounting base for the limiting block 63. The bent slot design 631 allows the limiting block 63 to move flexibly, making it easy to adjust the angle of the foot pedal 61, while ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting block 63 and the mounting plate 62. The foot pedal 61 can be adjusted to an angle of 6° to 18° relative to the horizontal plane.

[0035] The mounting step 621 has a first connecting hole 622, and the limiting block 63 has a second connecting hole 634. A connecting screw is provided through the first connecting hole 622 and the second connecting hole 634. The limiting block 63 is movably mounted on the mounting step 621 through the connecting screw.

[0036] The connecting screw passes through the first connecting hole 622 and the second connecting hole 634, and movably connects the limiting block 63 to the mounting step 621. This ensures both the flexibility of the limiting block 63 and its stability during the adjustment process, making it convenient for the user to precisely adjust the angle of the foot pedal 61.

[0037] The pedal assembly 60 also includes a pedal shaft 64, which is disposed on a mounting plate 62. The foot pedal 61 is sleeved on the pedal shaft 64. One side of the pedal shaft 64 is provided with damping teeth 641 along its circumference for damping. The mounting plate 62 is provided with a limit screw, which abuts against the other side of the pedal shaft 64.

[0038] The pedal shaft 64 provides a support point for the rotation of the foot pedal 61. The damping tooth 641 and the limit screw work together to provide damping, making the foot pedal 61 more stable during rotation adjustment and able to remain stable after being adjusted to a suitable angle, preventing the foot pedal 61 from shaking randomly and further improving the user experience.

[0039] The support frame 40 is provided with several rows of mounting holes 41 at intervals. The mounting plate 62 is mounted on the support frame 40 in an adjustable manner through the several rows of mounting holes 41. There are four shock absorbers 30, two of which are installed on one side of the support frame 40 and the other two are symmetrically installed on the other side of the support frame 40.

[0040] Several rows of mounting holes 41 provide more options for adjusting the height of the mounting plate 62, allowing users to precisely adjust the height of the pedals according to their needs. Four shock absorbers 30 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support frame 40, which can more evenly distribute and buffer vibrations, effectively improving the shock absorption performance and riding stability of the balance bike.

[0041] The usage method and working principle of this adjustable pedal self-balancing scooter are as follows:

[0042] The system employs quick-release components for rapid disassembly between the mounting base and the hub motor; shock absorbers reduce vibrations and minimize impact on the user; the adjustable pedal assembly accommodates users of different heights, enhancing the user experience; the adjustable foot pedals mounted on the support frame allow for angle adjustment, further improving the riding experience; the pedal assembly's structural design enables flexible height and angle adjustments to meet the individual needs of different users; the quick-release components facilitate the installation and removal of the hub motor, simplifying maintenance; the well-designed shock absorbers improve riding comfort and stability; and the coordinated components enhance the practicality and reliability of the balance scooter.

[0043] The key design features of this invention are: quick-release components enable rapid disassembly of the hub motor, facilitating maintenance and replacement, and reducing maintenance costs and time; shock absorbers provide shock absorption; adjustable pedal components allow for height adjustment; and adjustable foot pedals allow for angle adjustment. The balance scooter combines the adjustability of the pedal components, the convenience of quick-release components, and the excellent shock absorption performance of the shock absorbers.
