Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a flexible brake lever, including a protective frame 1. The protective frame 1 is U-shaped. Rotating rings 3 are provided at both ends of the protective frame 1. Rotating seats 4 corresponding to the rotating rings 3 are provided at both ends of the handlebar 2. The rotating rings 3 and the rotating seats 4 are rotatably connected. The rotation axis of the rotating rings 3 is on the same straight line as the central axis of the handlebar 2. The rotating rings 3 are provided with locking components 5 for fixing their angle. The first end of the handlebar 2 is connected to the frame 6. The protective frame 1 is provided with a mounting groove 7 on the side near the frame 6. A brake lever 8 is provided between the protective frame 1 and the handlebar 2. The first end of the brake lever 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting groove 7. A brake cable 9 is connected to the outside of the mounting groove 7 of the protective frame 1. The brake cable 9 passes into the mounting groove 7 and is connected to the brake lever 8. A windshield 10 is detachably connected to the protective frame 1. The windshield 10 covers the outside of the protective frame 1.

[0024] The protective frame 1, positioned on the outside of the brake lever 8 and handlebars 2, reduces the risk of direct impact to the brake lever 8 and the rider's hands on the handlebars 2, improving riding safety. Through the combination of the rotating ring 3, rotating seat 4, and locking assembly 5, the protective frame 1 and brake lever 8 can be easily adjusted to a suitable angle for the rider's grip, offering flexible adjustment. In cold weather, a windshield 10 can be installed on the protective frame 1 to reduce heat loss from the rider's hands during high-speed riding, improving the riding experience.

[0025] Furthermore, the locking assembly 5 includes a fixed cylinder 11, a plug 12, a spring 13, a connecting rod 14, and a handle 15.
