Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle control device technology, and in particular to an adjustable handlebar control device and an electric vehicle including the device, which is especially suitable for scenarios such as children's electric scooters that need to be adapted to users with different hand sizes. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric transportation tools, electric scooters, due to their lightweight and flexible characteristics, have gradually become an important tool for children's outdoor activities. However, existing children's electric scooters have significant design limitations: their handlebar controls, such as speed control buttons, brake switches, and light controls, are usually integrated into the handlebar body in a fixed position. Because children's hand sizes vary considerably (for example, the palm length of children aged 5-12 is approximately 10-16cm), and the range of thumb movement and natural extension distance when gripping the handlebars differ significantly among children of different ages, the fixed control component layout is difficult to adapt to various hand shapes.

[0003] Users with smaller hands need to consciously move their palms to reach the controls, which can easily distract them from riding; while users with larger hands may accidentally touch the controls with their thumbs, leading to misoperation and increasing safety hazards. A single model cannot meet the needs of children of different ages, requiring manufacturers to develop multiple specifications to accommodate hand size differences, thus increasing production costs.
