Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of golf cart technology, and more particularly to the frame structure of a golf cart. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, four-wheeled electric vehicles have been widely used in large parks, scenic areas, gated communities, villa areas, resorts, garden hotels, urban pedestrian streets and other regional venues due to their significant advantages such as simple operation, wide field of vision, strong practicality, no pollution and low energy consumption. As the number of four-wheeled electric vehicles continues to increase, users' requirements for their performance are also increasing, especially in terms of passenger space, load-bearing capacity and safety. As an important branch of four-wheeled electric vehicles, the optimization of the frame structure of golf carts has become the key to improving overall performance. However, the existing frame structure design of golf carts has gradually revealed some shortcomings.

[0003] Traditional golf carts often feature fixed club storage areas with limited space and a lack of flexibility, making it difficult to meet the diverse club-carrying needs of different players. For players carrying multiple sets of clubs or special clubs, storage is inconvenient and may even lead to club damage due to insufficient space. Secondly, existing frame structures often use relatively simple connection methods and lack sufficient reinforcement, making the frame prone to deformation and damage when bearing heavy loads. This not only affects the lifespan of the golf cart but may also pose a threat to player safety. In addition, existing sunshades are often made of traditional materials and lack innovative design, resulting in poor sunshade performance and high energy consumption. Utility Model Content
