Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of scooter technology, specifically to a frame with foldable pedals and an electric scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Most electric scooters on the market today integrate footboards into their frames. These footboards are either integrally designed or fixedly connected to the frame, which presents several drawbacks during use: a high center of gravity and poor stability; a lack of ergonomic support area, requiring the feet to be close together or maintain a specific posture, resulting in a less natural and less comfortable experience; unclear foot positioning and limited control; inconvenient storage, as even if the frame is foldable, the main beam of the frame that the user steps on usually cannot be further reduced in size, remaining a prominent rigid structure that occupies space; and once the frame structure in the step area is damaged, the entire main beam often needs to be replaced, leading to high repair costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a frame and electric scooter with foldable pedals, which can solve the technical problems of poor stability, poor comfort, inconvenient storage and high maintenance costs caused by the current integrated or fixed connection of pedals and frame.

[0004] This application provides a vehicle frame with foldable pedals, comprising:

[0005] The main beam has a pedal mounting bracket at its lower end;

[0006] The pedal base is detachably mounted on the pedal mounting bracket. The pedal base has a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft on both sides corresponding to the main beam. The pedal base has a first limiting protrusion and a second limiting protrusion on both sides of the bottom surface corresponding to the main beam. The first limiting protrusion is located below the first rotating shaft, and the second limiting protrusion is located below the second rotating shaft.

[0007] The first foot pedal is rotatably connected to the first pivot shaft; when the first foot pedal is unfolded, the first foot pedal intersects with the side of the pedal base, and the edge of the first foot pedal abuts against the first limiting protrusion; when the first foot pedal is folded, the first foot pedal is parallel to the side of the pedal base.

[0008] The second foot pedal is rotatably connected to the second pivot. When the second foot pedal is unfolded, it intersects with the side of the pedal base, and the edge of the second foot pedal abuts against the second limiting protrusion. When the second foot pedal is folded, it is parallel to the side of the pedal base.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the pedal base is provided with a cover plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the pedal base is provided with a pair of mounting rings on both sides, and a copper sleeve is provided inside the mounting ring. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are provided inside the copper sleeve. The first foot pedal and the second foot pedal are provided with a connecting ring, which is located between the pair of mounting rings.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame with foldable pedals also includes:

[0013] A first locking device is disposed in the pedal base and is provided corresponding to the connecting ring. The first locking device is provided corresponding to the first rotating shaft. The first locking device limits and fixes the first foot pedal when it is unfolded or folded.

[0014] The second locking device is disposed in the pedal base and is arranged corresponding to the connecting ring. The second locking device is arranged corresponding to the second rotating shaft. The second locking device limits and fixes the second foot pedal when it is unfolded or folded.

[0017] Furthermore, the main beam has a front wheel mounting portion at the end away from the pedal base.

[0018] This application also provides an electric scooter, which includes the frame with foldable pedals described above.

[0019] Furthermore, the electric scooter also includes a battery, which is disposed within the main beam.

[0020] The vehicle frame and electric scooter with foldable pedals provided in this application embodiment can be configured by setting a pedal mounting bracket at the lower end of the main beam, and detachably mounting the pedal base on the pedal mounting bracket. The first and second pedals are rotatably connected to the two sides of the pedal base. This allows the first and second pedals to be unfolded or folded.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 This application provides a vehicle frame with foldable pedals, the vehicle frame with foldable pedals comprising:

[0033] Main beam 1, the lower end of which is provided with a pedal mounting bracket 11;

[0034] The pedal base 2 is detachably mounted on the pedal mounting bracket 11.
