Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric bicycle technology, specifically a novel electric bicycle saddle structure and an electric bicycle. Background Technology

[0002] Electric bicycles offer a certain range and are convenient to ride, making them widely used for short-distance transportation. Because the shock absorption performance of the front and rear wheel suspension systems in existing electric bicycles is quite good, the shock-absorbing springs at the bottom of the saddle have been largely removed. To improve the aesthetics of the saddle bottom after the removal of the springs, a decorative piece is usually installed. Current saddle bottom decorative pieces typically use a full-coverage design, which means the inner side of the decorative piece is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the saddle support tube. This prevents the decorative piece from being pre-installed. Pre-installation would prevent the connection between the upper part of the saddle support tube and the saddle bottom support structure. In actual production, the saddle must be installed on the upper part of the saddle support tube on the assembly line before the decorative piece is installed, which does not improve the assembly line efficiency.
