Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a front-end assembly and a scooter, belonging to the field of scooter technology. Background Technology
[0002] Electric scooters are small personal transportation tools based on traditional skateboards and incorporating electric drive technology. They consist of components such as handlebars, front end, wheels, pedals, battery, and motor. The front end of an electric scooter mainly includes the stem, post, and outer shell. To reduce manufacturing complexity, the stem, post, and outer shell are manufactured separately and then assembled.
[0003] Currently, the stem and post are connected by welding, which requires welding the end faces of the stem and post. However, the welding method has high requirements for the processing technology of the end faces of the stem and post. When the end faces of the stem and post are not processed properly, gaps may appear at the weld, resulting in an unstable and unreliable welding effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a front end assembly and a scooter to solve the problem that the welding connection between the handlebars and the stand of the scooter front end is not stable and reliable in the related art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a front-end assembly, comprising:
[0007] case;
[0008] The handlebar is at least partially disposed within the housing, and the handlebar is connected to the housing;
[0009] A pole, one end of which is located inside the housing, is connected to at least one of the housing and the handlebar.
[0010] In the front-end assembly provided in this application, at least a portion of the stem is disposed within the housing, and the stem is connected to the housing, allowing the stem to support the housing and provide mounting contact. The stem and housing are relatively fixed. One end of the upright is inserted into a slot between the housing and the stem, such that the end of the upright is located within the housing. This allows the outer wall of the upright within the housing to align with the inner wall of the housing, and the inner wall of the upright within the housing to align with the outer wall of the stem. The housing and stem can clamp and fix the upright, resulting in a larger contact area between the upright and both the housing and the stem. This makes the connection between the upright and the housing and / or the stem more convenient and reliable. Consequently, the manufacturing process of the front-end assembly is simplified, and the structure becomes more stable and reliable.
[0011] In some embodiments, the insertion slots are distributed circumferentially along the stem, at least a portion of the outer wall of the stem abuts against the inner wall of the housing, at least a portion of the inner wall of the stem abuts against the outer wall of the stem, and the housing, the stem, and the stem are fixedly connected.
[0012] By distributing the insertion slots along the circumference of the stem, all circumferential parts of the stem end can be inserted into the slots, further improving the stem's stability. By having the outer wall of the stem abut against the inner wall of the housing, the friction between the stem and housing is increased, enhancing the connection stability between the stem and housing.
[0013] In some embodiments, the front assembly further includes a first fastener connected to the stem, the post, and the housing to secure the stem, the post, and the housing together.
[0014] The stem, post, and housing are fixed together by the first fastener, which improves the connection stability of the stem, post, and housing.
[0015] In some embodiments, a limiting block is formed on the housing or handle;
[0016] The upright has a first end and a second end, the first end being located inside the housing, and the limiting block limiting the upright in the direction from the second end to the first end.
[0017] By setting a limit block, the travel of the pole in the direction from the second end to the first end can be limited, so that the limit block can position the pole when it is being installed.
[0018] In some embodiments, the limiting block extends from the inner wall of the housing into the housing and is distributed circumferentially along the housing.
[0019] By distributing the limiting blocks circumferentially along the shell, all circumferential parts of the end of the upright can abut against the limiting blocks, thereby increasing the contact area between the upright and the limiting blocks and making the limiting effect of the limiting blocks on the upright more reliable. The limiting blocks and the shell are an integral structure, ensuring a stable and reliable connection between the limiting blocks and the shell.
[0020] In some embodiments, the insertion slot is further provided with a connector, which is disposed between the handle and the upright.
[0021] The connector can separate the stem from the post, preventing the stem and post from directly contacting each other and causing wear.
[0022] In some embodiments, the connector covers the portion of the stem opposite to the upright.
[0023] The connector covers the part of the stem that is opposite to the post, allowing the connector to completely separate the stem from the post.
[0024] In some embodiments, the front assembly further includes a second fastener that passes through the housing, the connector, and the stem to secure the housing, the connector, and the stem together.
[0025] By setting a second fixing component, the housing, connectors, and stem can be relatively fixed, improving the stability of the front assembly.
[0026] In some embodiments, the connector is also located between the limiting block and the stem, and the second fixing member passes through the limiting block.
[0027] The second fastener is inserted through the limiting block, which can increase the contact area between the second fastener and the housing, so that the second fastener is more stably connected to the housing.
[0028] In some embodiments, the handle, the upright, and the housing are provided with corresponding screw holes, the first fixing member and the second fixing member are both bolts, and there are multiple first fixing members and multiple second fixing members;
[0029] The plurality of first fasteners are spaced apart along the length of the housing, and the plurality of first fasteners are also spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the housing;
[0030] Multiple second fasteners are distributed circumferentially along the housing.
[0031] By using bolts for both the first and second fasteners, the first fastener can be easily disassembled from the stem, post, and housing, and the second fastener can be easily disassembled from the housing, connectors, and stem, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the front end assembly. Multiple first and second fasteners further enhance the structural stability of the front end assembly.
[0032] In some embodiments, the housing includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion, the first housing portion and the second housing portion being disposed opposite to and connected to each other, and the handle being located between the first housing portion and the second housing portion.
[0033] When installing the housing, the first housing part and the second housing part can be mated together and installed on the outside of the stem, which makes the housing installation more convenient.
[0034] In some embodiments, the housing surface has a mounting groove through which the first and second fasteners pass.
[0035] By setting the mounting groove, the ends of the first and second fixing parts can be located inside the mounting groove, which serves to protect the first and second fixing parts.
[0036] In some embodiments, a lighting fixture is formed on the surface of the housing, and the lighting fixture has mounting holes.
[0037] By setting up a lighting fixture, the lighting lamp can be easily installed in the housing. The housing and lighting fixture are integrated into one structure, which makes the connection between the two more stable.
[0038] In some embodiments, the housing has a socket for inserting the upright, and the portion of the housing adjacent to the socket has a cross-section.
[0039] By setting a facet, the sharp edges of the casing can be reduced, which can, to some extent, prevent users from being injured by bumping into the edges of the casing.
[0040] Secondly, based on the aforementioned front assembly, this application also provides a scooter, including a body assembly and the aforementioned front assembly, with the end of the upright pole away from the housing connected to the body assembly.
[0041] The scooter provided in this application, including the aforementioned head assembly, reduces the difficulty of manufacturing the scooter and makes its structure more stable and reliable. Attached Figure Description

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0059] Electric scooters are small personal transportation tools based on traditional skateboards and incorporating electric drive technology. They consist of components such as handlebars, front end, wheels, pedals, battery, and motor. The front end of an electric scooter mainly includes the stem, post, and outer shell. To reduce manufacturing complexity, the stem, post, and outer shell are manufactured separately and then assembled.
[0060] Currently, the stem and post are connected by welding, which requires welding the end faces of the stem and post. However, the welding method has high requirements for the processing technology of the end faces of the stem and post. When the end faces of the stem and post are not processed properly, gaps may appear at the weld, resulting in an unstable and unreliable welding effect.
[0061] In the front-end assembly proposed in this application, at least a portion of the stem is disposed within the housing, and the stem is connected to the housing, allowing the stem to support the housing and provide mounting contact. The stem and housing are relatively fixed. One end of the upright is inserted into a slot between the housing and the stem, such that the end of the upright is located within the housing. This allows the outer wall of the upright within the housing to align with the inner wall of the housing, and the inner wall of the upright within the housing to align with the outer wall of the stem. The housing and stem can clamp and fix the upright, resulting in a larger contact area between the upright and both the housing and the stem. This makes the connection between the upright and the housing and / or the stem more convenient and reliable. Consequently, the manufacturing process of the front-end assembly is simplified, and the structure becomes more stable and reliable.
[0062] The scooter proposed in this application, including the aforementioned head assembly, reduces the difficulty of manufacturing the scooter and makes its structure more stable and reliable.
[0063] The contents of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the contents of this application.
[0064] This application discloses a front end assembly 10, with reference to... Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it includes a housing 100, a handlebar 200, and a pole 300. This front assembly 10 can be used in scooters.
[0065] The housing 100 is the basic component of the front-end assembly 10 of this disclosure. The housing 100 provides a mounting base for at least some other components of the front-end assembly 10 and serves to protect those components. The housing 100 can be made of metal, giving it better structural strength, thus improving its durability and reliability. Alternatively, the housing 100 can be made of polymer materials, allowing it to maintain a certain structural strength while remaining relatively lightweight.
[0066] The housing 100 can be used to mount some parts of the scooter's front assembly, such as the scooter's lights, display screen, and connectors.
[0067] At least a portion of the stem 200 is disposed within the housing 100. Specifically, the housing 100 has a cavity, which is a hollow structure within the housing 100. The stem 200 can be disposed within the cavity of the housing 100, thus the housing 100 also serves to protect the stem 200. The stem 200 is connected to the housing 100, and correspondingly, the stem 200 can support the housing 100 on its inner wall, thereby improving the structural strength of the housing 100. Specifically, one end of the stem 200 can extend to connect with the handlebars of the scooter.
[0068] One end of the upright 300 can be located inside the housing 100, and the upright 300 can be connected to at least one of the housing 100 and the handlebar stem 200. Since the housing 100 and the handlebar stem 200 are relatively fixed, the housing 100, handlebar stem 200, and upright 300 are relatively fixed. The other end of the upright 300 can be connected to the scooter frame assembly 20. Specifically, the housing 100 can have an opening communicating with a cavity, and one end of the upright 300 can extend into the cavity of the housing 100 through the opening, so that the end of the upright 300 is located inside the housing 100. In this way, the side wall of the upright 300 inside the housing 100 can be opposite to the inner wall of the housing 100, giving the upright 300 and the housing 100 a larger contact area, thus making the connection between the upright 300 and the housing 100 more convenient and reliable. Therefore, the manufacturing process of the head assembly 10 can be simplified, and the structure can be made more stable and reliable.
[0069] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, there is a gap between the outer wall of the handlebar 200 and the inner wall of the housing 100, thereby forming an insertion groove 110 between them. One end of the upright 300 can be inserted into the insertion groove 110 through the opening of the housing 100, so that the outer wall of the upright 300 can face the inner wall of the housing 100, and the inner wall of the upright 300 can face the outer wall of the handlebar 200, thus the upright 300 is sandwiched between the housing 100 and the handlebar 200. The inner wall of the housing 100 and the outer wall of the handlebar 200 can limit the position of the upright 300, allowing it to be more stably and fixedly connected to the housing 100 and the handlebar 200.
[0070] Furthermore, during the assembly of the upright post 300, the insertion slot 110 also serves to guide the upright post 300. After one end of the upright post 300 extends into the insertion slot 110, the inner wall of the insertion slot 110 can guide the upright post 300, allowing it to fully contact the housing 100 and the stem 200, thus preventing the upright post 300 from tilting relative to the housing 100 and the stem 200.
[0071] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, the insertion slots 110 of this application can be configured to be distributed circumferentially along the stem 200. Correspondingly, the outer wall of the stem 200 along its circumference has a gap with the inner wall of the housing 100, making the insertion slots 110 annular. After one end of the upright 300 is inserted into the insertion slot 110, the outer wall of the upright 300 is opposite to the inner wall of the housing 100, and the inner wall of the upright 300 is opposite to the outer wall of the stem 200. In this way, the upright 300 has more sufficient contact with the housing 100 and the stem 200, and the connection reliability is better.
[0072] In some embodiments, the upright 300 of this application may also be configured such that one end of the upright 300 is located inside the handlebar stem 200, so that the handlebar stem 200 can sleeve one end of the upright 300. In this way, the outer wall of the upright 300 can be fitted against the inner wall of the handlebar stem 200, so that the upright 300 is connected to the handlebar stem 200. Correspondingly, there may be no gap between the housing 100 and the handlebar stem 200, and the inner wall of the housing 100 can be fitted against the outer wall of the handlebar stem 200, so that the upright 300 can be fixed to the housing 100 and the handlebar stem 200.
[0073] In addition, stem 200 is fitted with stem 300, so that stem 300 can also support stem 200, making stem 200 more stable.
[0074] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the upright 300 in this application abuts against the inner wall of the housing 100, allowing the outer wall of the upright 300 to fully contact the inner wall of the housing 100, thereby increasing the contact area between the outer wall of the upright 300 and the inner wall of the housing 100. By increasing the contact area between the upright 300 and the housing 100, the frictional force between the upright 300 and the housing 100 can be increased, thereby enhancing the connection reliability between the upright 300 and the housing 100.
[0075] Furthermore, the inner wall of the upright 300 can abut against the outer wall of the handlebar stem 200, allowing for full contact between the inner wall of the upright 300 and the outer wall of the handlebar stem 200, thereby increasing the contact area between them. Increasing the contact area between the upright 300 and the handlebar stem 200 increases the friction between them, thus enhancing the reliability of their connection.
[0076] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the front assembly 10 of this application may also include a limiting block 400. The housing 100 or the stem 200 forms the limiting block 400, such that the limiting block 400 is located between the housing 100 and the stem 200, and the limiting block 400 is opposite to the end of the stem 300. The limiting block 400 limits the stem 300 in the axial direction, thereby limiting the length of the stem 300 inserted into the housing 100 and preventing the size of the portion of the stem 300 extending into the housing 100 from being too large.
[0077] Specifically, the upright 300 may have a first end 310 and a second end 320, with the first end 310 inserted into the insertion groove 110. A limiting block 400 may be disposed within the insertion groove 110, and the side of the limiting block 400 facing the opening of the housing 100 may form the bottom wall of the insertion groove 110. When the first end 310 of the upright 300 abuts against the limiting block 400, the limiting block 400 can be formed into the upright 300, thereby ensuring that the upright 300 and the housing 100 are relatively fixed in the axial direction of the upright 300.
[0078] The limiting block 400 can be configured to connect to at least one of the housing 100 and the stem 200, so that the limiting block 400 can be fixed in the insertion slot 110. Specifically, the limiting block 400 can be connected to the housing 100, and the limiting block 400 and the housing 100 can be integrally formed, which can enhance the connection stability and reliability between the limiting block 400 and the housing 100.
[0079] Furthermore, it should be understood that when the limit block 400 is connected to the stem 200, the limit block 400 and the stem 200 can also be integrally formed, which can enhance the connection stability and reliability of the limit block 400 and the stem 200.
[0080] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 As shown, the limiting block 400 of this application can extend from the inner wall of the housing 100 into the interior of the housing 100. The limiting block 400 is arranged circumferentially along the inner wall of the housing 100, so that the limiting block 400 can be opposite to the circumferential edge of the end of the upright 300, so that the upright 300 and the limiting block 400 can have more sufficient contact, thereby making the limiting effect of the limiting block 400 on the upright 300 more stable and reliable.
[0081] In addition, it should be understood that the limiting block 400 protrudes from the inner wall of the housing 100 and is integrally formed with the housing 100, so that the limiting block 400 can also act as a reinforcing rib, which can enhance the structural strength of the housing 100 and improve the stability and reliability of the housing 100.
[0082] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 As shown, the front assembly 10 of this application may also include a connector 500, which is disposed between the stem 200 and the post 300. The connector 500 covers the opposing portions of the stem 200 and the post 300, and can separate the stem 200 and the post 300 to prevent them from directly contacting each other and causing wear, thereby protecting the stem 200 and the post 300.
[0083] The connector 500 is detachably connected to both the stem 300 and the handlebar stem 200, making it easy to replace. When the connector 500 ages and wears out after long-term use, it can be disassembled and replaced with a new one, thereby reducing the maintenance and repair costs of the front assembly 10 of this application.
[0084] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the connector 500 of this application is sleeved on the stem 200, and the upright 300 is sleeved on the connector 500. Specifically, the connector 500 has a ring structure and is located between the opposing parts of the stem 200 and the upright 300. By distributing the connector 500 along the circumference of the stem 200, the connector 500 can cover all circumferential parts of the stem 200. In this way, the force exerted by the upright 300 on the stem 200 through the connector 500 can be more evenly distributed on the surface of the stem 200, avoiding excessive local stress and damage to the stem 200, and making the connector 500 more effective in separating the stem 200 and the upright 300.
[0085] Specifically, when assembling the front assembly 10 of this application, the connector 500 can be first fitted onto the stem 200, and then the post 300 can be fitted onto the connector 500, thus achieving the installation of the post 300, connector 500, and stem 200. The connector 500 can be installed onto the stem 200 via an interference fit, making the connection between the connector 500 and the mounting component more stable. Of course, to facilitate the installation of the connector 500 onto the stem 200, the inner diameter of the connector 500 can be set to be larger than the outer diameter of the stem 200, making it easier to fit and install the connector 500 onto the stem 200.
[0086] In addition, in order to make the connector 500 fit better against the stem 200 and the post 300 and fully play its supporting and separating role, the connector 500 can also adopt a deformable structural component, so that the connector 500 deforms under the pressure of the stem 200 and the post 300, thereby making the fit between the connector 500 and the stem 200 and the post 300 better.
[0087] In some embodiments, the connectors 500 of this application may be provided in multiple ways. The multiple connectors 500 may be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the stem 200, and the multiple connectors 500 are all located between the stem 200 and the post 300. In this way, the multiple connectors 500 can all serve to separate the stem 200 and the post 300, and can save the material of the connectors 500, thereby reducing the cost of the front assembly 10 of this application.
[0088] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 3As shown, to further enhance the connection stability and reliability between the stem 300 and the housing 100, the front assembly 10 of this application may also include a first fixing member 600. The first fixing member 600 is connected to the stem 200, the stem 300, and the housing 100, so that the first fixing member 600 is relatively fixed to the stem 200, the stem 300, and the housing 100. In this way, the stem 200, the stem 300, and the housing 100 can be further relatively fixed through the first fixing member 600, making the relative fixation effect of the stem 200, the stem 300, and the housing 100 more stable and reliable.
[0089] By fixing the upright 300 to both the handlebar stem 200 and the housing 100, the fixation effect of the upright 300 is better and the structure of the upright 300 is more stable compared to fixing the upright 300 to either the handlebar stem 200 or the housing 100.
[0090] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first fixing member 600 in this application can be configured to pass through the side wall of the housing 100, the side wall of the upright 300, the side wall of the connector 500 and the side wall of the handlebar 200, so that the first fixing member 600 can limit the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500 and the handlebar 200 in the axial direction of the upright 300, and prevent the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500 and the handlebar 200 from moving relative to each other in the axial direction of the upright 300.
[0091] By having the first fixing member 600 pass through the connector 500, the relative fixing effect between the connector 500 and the upright 300 and the stem 200 can be further strengthened, allowing the connector 500 to be more stably fixed between the upright 300 and the stem 200. In addition, it is not necessary to have a separate structure for fixing the connector 500, which simplifies the structure of the front assembly 10 of this application.
[0092] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first fixing member 600 of this application can be a bolt. Correspondingly, the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar 200 have corresponding screw holes. The first fixing member 600 can be screwed into the corresponding screw holes of the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar 200 to fix the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar 200 relatively. This makes the process of installing the first fixing member 600 on the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar 200 simpler and more convenient.
[0093] Furthermore, the use of bolts for the first fixing member 600 allows for detachable connection between the first fixing member 600 and the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar stem 200. When any one of the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar stem 200 is damaged and requires repair or replacement, the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar stem 200 can be easily disassembled by removing the first fixing member 600, thereby making the maintenance and repair of the front assembly 10 of this application more convenient.
[0094] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 600 of this application may also adopt a rivet structure. The first fixing member 600 can be fixed to the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500 and the handlebar 200 by press riveting, so as to fix the housing 100, the upright 300, the connector 500 and the handlebar 200 relatively.
[0095] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, the number of first fasteners 600 in this application can be multiple, and the multiple first fasteners 600 can be distributed at intervals along the circumference of the housing 100. Correspondingly, the multiple first fasteners 600 are also distributed at intervals along the circumference of the housing 100, the connector 500, and the handlebar 200. By providing multiple first fasteners 600, the connection stability of the housing 100, the handlebar 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar 200 can be enhanced. By distributing the multiple first fasteners 600 along the circumference of the housing 100, the distribution of the connected parts of the housing 100, the handlebar 300, the connector 500, and the handlebar 200 can be more balanced.
[0096] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, the multiple first fasteners 600 of this application can also be arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the upright 300, which can further increase the number of first fasteners 600 and make the fixed connection effect of the housing 100, upright 300, connector 500 and handlebar 200 better.
[0097] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the connector 500 of this application is partially offset from the stem 300. The front assembly 10 of this application may also include a second fixing member 700, which passes through the housing 100, the connector 500, and the stem 200. The second fixing member 700 can hold the housing 100, the connector 500, and the stem 200 together. The second fixing member 700 may also be a bolt, and the number of second fixing members 700 may be multiple, with multiple second fixing members 700 arranged circumferentially around the housing 100.
[0098] In some implementations, reference Figure 3As shown, the connector 500 is also located between the limiting block 400 and the stem 200, and the second fixing member 700 passes through the limiting block 400. The second fixing member 700 passing through the limiting block 400 can increase the contact area between the second fixing member 700 and the housing 100, so that the second fixing member 700 is more stably connected to the housing 100.
[0099] In some implementations, reference Figure 4 As shown, the housing 100 of this application can be configured to include a first housing portion 120 and a second housing portion 130. The first housing portion 120 and the second housing portion 130 are disposed opposite to each other and connected to form the housing 100. The first fixing member 600 and the second fixing member 700 can both pass through the first housing portion 120 and the second housing portion 130, so that the first housing portion 120 and the second housing portion 130 can be fixedly connected by the first fixing member 600 and the second fixing member 700, thereby eliminating the need for additional structural members for fixing the first housing portion 120 and the second housing portion 130, and simplifying the front assembly 10 of this application.
[0100] When assembling the front assembly 10 of this application, the first housing 120 and the second housing 130 can be respectively disposed on opposite sides of the upright 300, and then the first fixing member 600 and the second fixing member 700 can be installed, making the installation process of the upright 300 and the housing 100 simpler and easier to disassemble.
[0101] In some implementations, reference Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the housing 100 has a mounting groove 140, through which the first fixing member 600 and the second fixing member 700 pass. By providing the mounting groove 140, the ends of the first fixing member 600 and the second fixing member 700 can be located within the mounting groove 140, thus protecting the first fixing member 600 and the second fixing member 700.
[0102] In some embodiments, a lighting fixture 150 is formed on the surface of the housing 100, and the lighting fixture 150 has mounting holes 151. The lighting fixture 150 facilitates the installation of a lighting lamp onto the housing 100; specifically, the lighting lamp can be connected to the lighting fixture 150 through the mounting holes 151. The housing 100 and the lighting fixture 150 are integrally structured, resulting in better connection stability.
[0103] In some implementations, reference Figure 5 As shown, the housing 100 has a socket 160 for inserting the upright 300, and the portion of the housing adjacent to the socket 160 has a cut surface 170. By providing the cut surface 170, the sharp edges of the ends of the housing 100 can be reduced, which can, to some extent, prevent users from being injured by bumping into the edges of the housing 100.
[0104] Based on the above-mentioned front-end component 10, refer toFigure 6 As shown, this application also proposes a scooter, including the aforementioned head assembly 10. Furthermore, the scooter may also include a body assembly 20, which is connected to the end of the pole 300 opposite to the housing 100.
