[0002] Electric bicycles use batteries as auxiliary power, adding motors, controllers, and other components to a regular bicycle. Driven by electricity, they produce no exhaust emissions and are pollution-free. Compared to gasoline-powered motorcycles or cars, they effectively reduce carbon emissions and lessen environmental impact. Furthermore, their smaller size, lighter weight, and simple operation make them suitable for most riders. In urban areas, electric bicycles can maneuver flexibly through traffic, especially in narrow streets and alleys, offering greater convenience and effectively avoiding traffic congestion, thus improving travel efficiency. However, as electric bicycles are used over time, the batteries inevitably age, resulting in shorter battery life. Replacing original batteries is costly; therefore, it is necessary to research and develop a battery pack that can be installed on electric bicycles. Utility Model Content

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, to accommodate electric bicycle rear seats of different sizes, the cover plate can rotate relative to the top cover to adjust the position of the first connecting hole. Rotating the locking bolt lowers it, and the locking teeth separate from the rack as the locking bolt descends, unlocking the rod and allowing its position to be adjusted. Rotating the locking bolt raises it, pushing the locking teeth upwards and engaging them with the rack, locking the rod position. This allows the length of the reinforcing rod to be changed to accommodate electric bicycle rear seats of different sizes. The locking method of the rod in this invention uses a rack, locking teeth, and locking bolt. By making the rack teeth smaller, the adjustment of the rod position is more precise, approaching stepless adjustment, while ensuring a secure locking of the rod position.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the cover of the electrical box is fixed to the electrical box by screws.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that an angle is formed between the cover plate and the top cover.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that a waterproof sealing seat is installed at one end of the electrical box, and the waterproof sealing seat is formed with a wire hole for the cable to pass through.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by adding a battery pack to the rear seat of an electric bicycle, it can be used simultaneously with the original battery of the electric bicycle, greatly increasing the electric bicycle's range and enabling riders to travel or commute over longer distances.
