Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scooter technology, and in particular to an electric scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Electric scooters are transportation and recreational tools based on traditional human-powered scooters, supplemented by electric motors. Their lightweight, convenient, and portable nature has made them popular with consumers. Most electric scooters on the market have a folding structure between the stem and the fork, allowing the stem to be folded up above the footboard for storage. Some electric scooters have hooks on the rear fender, allowing the handlebars to be hooked onto the hooks when folded, enabling users to lift the scooter by gripping the stem. However, most current rear fenders use a curved plate structure, which is prone to deformation when lifting the scooter, resulting in low reliability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to propose an electric scooter that improves the reliability of the electric scooter when it is folded.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the electric scooter proposed in this utility model includes:

[0005] A pedal assembly, wherein the rear end of the pedal assembly is provided with an installation notch;

[0006] The front fork is rotatably mounted on the front end of the pedal assembly;

[0007] The front wheel is mounted on the front fork;

[0008] A handlebar assembly, including a stem, is connected to the fork via a folding mechanism, such that the handlebar assembly has a folded state in which the stem is positioned horizontally above the pedal assembly and a state in which the stem is conveniently positioned above the fork.

[0009] The rear wheel is installed within the mounting notch; and

[0010] The rear mudguard has an opening and a mounting portion extending along the periphery of the opening. The rear mudguard is disposed above the mounting notch through the opening to cover the rear wheel cover. The mounting portion is connected to the edge portion of the mounting notch. The top of the rear mudguard has a hook portion. In the folded state, the handlebar assembly is fastened to the hook portion.

[0011] This invention provides a mounting notch at the rear end of the pedal assembly, into which the rear wheel is installed. An extending mounting portion along the periphery of the opening is provided on the rear mudguard, which is then mounted above the mounting notch via an opening, connecting the mounting portion to the edge of the notch. This design allows for a larger connection area between the rear mudguard and the pedal assembly, improving the stability of the connection. It also enhances the structural strength of the rear mudguard, effectively improving its reliability. This reduces the risk of deformation or damage to the rear mudguard when the electric scooter is lifted vertically in a folded state, thus improving the overall reliability of the electric scooter.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] It should be noted that if any directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) is involved in the embodiments of this utility model, such directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope claimed by this utility model.

[0033] This utility model proposes an electric scooter.

[0034] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the electric scooter includes a pedal assembly 10, a front fork 21, a front wheel 22, a handlebar assembly 30, a rear wheel 23, and a rear mudguard 50. The rear end of the pedal assembly 10 is provided with a mounting notch 111. The front fork 21 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the pedal assembly 10. The front wheel 22 is mounted on the front fork 21. The handlebar assembly 30 includes a vertical tube 31, which is connected to the front fork 21 by a folding mechanism 40, so that the handlebar assembly 30 has a folded state in which the vertical tube 31 is placed horizontally above the pedal assembly 10 and a state in which the vertical tube 31 is conveniently located above the front fork 21.

[0035] The rear wheel 23 is installed in the mounting notch 111; the rear mudguard 50 has an opening and a mounting portion 51 extending along the periphery of the opening. The rear mudguard 50 is installed above the mounting notch 111 through the opening to cover the rear wheel 23. The mounting portion 51 is connected to the edge portion of the mounting notch 111. The top of the rear mudguard 50 is provided with a hook portion 52. In the folded state, the handlebar assembly 30 is fastened to the hook portion 52.

[0036] It is understood that the electric scooter also includes a battery module 60 and a braking system, etc. The specific structure can be referred to the existing technology, and this utility model will not elaborate on them one by one.

[0037] The mounting notch 111 is roughly U-shaped, and the mounting part 51 is also roughly U-shaped. The opening of the rear mudguard 50 is larger than or equal to the mounting notch 111. The mounting part 51 is installed on the edge of the mounting notch 111, that is, the mounting part 51 is located on the front and left and right sides of the rear wheel 23, and is connected to the pedal assembly 10. The rear mudguard 50 can cover the front, upper, and left and right sides of the rear wheel 23, which allows for a larger connection area between the rear mudguard 50 and the pedal assembly 10, thus improving the stability of the connection between the rear mudguard 50 and the pedal assembly 10. Moreover, the rear mudguard 50 covers the top of the rear wheel 23 and the side of the rear wheel 23 above the pedal assembly 10, which can effectively prevent water or mud from splashing from the side of the rear wheel 23 onto the pedal assembly 10 and the user's feet. In the folded state, the handlebar assembly 30 is fastened to the hook part 52, and the electric scooter can be lifted through the vertical tube 31 for easy carrying by the user.

[0038] This utility model's technical solution involves providing an installation notch 111 at the rear end of the pedal assembly 10, allowing the rear wheel 23 to be installed within the notch 111. An installation portion 51 extending along the periphery of the opening is provided on the rear mudguard 50, with the rear mudguard 50 positioned above the installation notch 111 through the opening, connecting the installation portion 51 to the edge of the notch 111. This results in a larger connection area between the rear mudguard 50 and the pedal assembly 10, improving the stability of the connection. Simultaneously, it enhances the structural strength of the rear mudguard 50, effectively improving the reliability of the rear mudguard. This reduces the risk of deformation or even damage to the rear mudguard when lifting the electric scooter through the vertical tube 31 in a folded state, thus improving the reliability of the electric scooter.

[0039] In some embodiments, the rear end of the mounting portion 51 extends behind the pedal assembly 10 and passes over the axle 441 of the rear wheel 23. Specifically, the mounting portion 51 is generally U-shaped, with rear ends extending behind the pedal assembly 10 on both the left and right sides of the rear wheel 23. The rear end of the mounting portion 51 passing over the axle 441 of the rear wheel 23 allows the connection length between the mounting portion 51 and the pedal assembly 10 in the front-rear direction to be greater than the radius of the rear wheel 23, increasing the connection area between the rear mudguard 50 and the pedal assembly 10 and further improving the connection stability between the rear mudguard 50 and the pedal assembly 10. Furthermore, it allows the mounting portion 51 to be closer to the hook portion in the front-rear direction, improving the uniformity of force distribution on the mounting portion 51 when lifting the electric scooter. Optionally, the hook part 52 and the mounting part 51 partially overlap in the front-rear direction. That is, in the front-rear direction, the distance between the rear end of the mounting part 51 and the hook part 52 is less than 1. This can further improve the uniformity of force on the mounting part 51 when lifting the electric scooter and reduce the risk of breakage due to localized force concentration on the mounting part 51.

[0040] In some embodiments, the folding mechanism 40 includes a fixed base 41, a rotating base 42, a locking mechanism 43, and a limiting member 44. The fixed base 41 is fixed to the upper end of the front fork 21, and the rotating base 42 is rotatably mounted on the rear side of the fixed base 41. The rotating base 42 is provided with a first engaging portion 421. The locking mechanism 43 is rotatably mounted on the front side of the fixed base 41 and has a first rotation axis X. The inner side of the locking mechanism 43 is provided with an abutment portion 4313 and a second engaging portion 4324. The rotating base 42 is connected to the lower end of the vertical tube 31. The limiting member 44 is rotatably mounted on the front side of the rotating base 42 and has at least a second rotation axis Y parallel to the first rotation axis X. In the use state, the rotating base 42 is stacked on the fixed base 41, the locking mechanism 43 engages with the rotating base 42, and the limiting member 44 abuts against the side of the abutment portion 4313 facing the fixed base 41. In the folded state, the locking mechanism 43 is separated from the rotating base 42, and the vertical tube 31 is placed horizontally above the pedal assembly 10.

[0041] It can be understood that the first rotation axis X and the second rotation axis Y are both virtual axes, and the inner side of the locking mechanism 43 is the side facing the rotating seat 42 when in use.

[0042] The first engaging portion 421 is spaced apart from the abutting portion 4313, and the second engaging portion 4324 is spaced apart from the limiting member 44. In use, the first engaging portion 421 and the second engaging portion 4324 engage to restrict the locking mechanism 43 from rotating away from the rotating seat 42. The abutting portion 4313 is located above the limiting member 44, that is, the abutting portion 4313 can press on the limiting member 44, thereby pressing the rotating seat 42 tightly onto the fixed seat 41 and avoiding a gap between the rotating seat 42 and the fixed seat 41 in use. Compared to the method of restricting the rotation of the locking mechanism 43 relative to the rotating seat 42 by the first latching part 421 and the second latching part 4324 while pressing the rotating seat 42 against the fixed seat 41, the locking mechanism 43 is restricted from rotating away from the rotating seat 42 by the latching cooperation of the first latching part 421 and the second latching part 4324. In addition, the rotating seat 42 is pressed against the fixed seat 41 by the limiting member 44 and the abutment part 4313. This can distribute the force between the locking mechanism 43 and the rotating seat 42, and avoid the force being concentrated at the first latching part 421 and the second latching part 4324. This simplifies the structure of the first latching part 421 and the second latching part 4324 while ensuring the reliability of the first latching part 421 and the second latching part 4324, thereby improving the reliability of the folding mechanism 40.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first latching portion 421 is located on the front side of the rotating seat 42, thus keeping the first latching portion 421 away from the rotation axis between the fixed seat 41 and the rotating seat 42. This improves the limiting effect on the rotating seat 42 during use and simplifies the structure of the first latching portion 421. Of course, in other embodiments, the first latching portion 421 can also be provided on both the left and right sides of the rotating seat 42, and the locking mechanism 43 can provide a second latching portion 4324 for each first latching portion 421.

[0044] In some embodiments, the axis of rotation between the fixed base 41 and the rotating base 42 is parallel to the first axis of rotation X. Specifically, in the use state, the first latching portion 421 abuts against the side of the second latching portion 4324 opposite to the rotating base 42, and the second latching portion 4324 abuts against the side of the first latching portion 421 facing the rotating base 42. The axis of rotation between the fixed base 41 and the rotating base 42, as well as the first axis of rotation X, both extend in the left-right direction, allowing the locking mechanism 43 to rotate forward and away from the rotating base 42. This effectively locks the front side of the rotating base 42 in the use state, ensuring the locking effect of the locking mechanism 43 on the rotating base 42 and the fixed base 41 while reducing the size of the folding mechanism 40 in the front-rear direction of the electric scooter.

[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotation axis between the fixed seat 41 and the rotating seat 42 can be perpendicular to the first rotation axis X. The first locking part 421 is provided with a groove, and the second locking part 4324 is provided with a glass ball screw. When the locking mechanism 43 rotates to the point where the second locking part 4324 corresponds to the first locking part 421, the steel ball of the glass ball screw is engaged in the groove.

[0046] In some embodiments, the limiting member 44 includes a rotating shaft 441 and a limiting post 443 disposed on the rotating shaft 441. The rotating shaft 441 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 42, and the end of the limiting post 443 away from the rotating shaft 441 abuts against the abutment portion 4313. That is, the rotating shaft 441 is coaxial with the second rotation axis Y, which simplifies the structure of the limiting member 44 and also simplifies the structure on the rotating seat 42 for mounting the rotating shaft 441, making assembly easier. Of course, in other embodiments, a spherical portion can be provided at one end of the limiting member 44, and a semi-circular groove can be provided on the rotating seat 42. The spherical portion is rotatably mounted in the semi-circular groove, and the other end of the limiting member 44 abuts against the abutment portion 4313.

[0047] Optionally, the rotating shaft 441 is provided with an adjusting screw hole 442, and the limiting post 443 is screwed into the adjusting screw hole 442. This allows adjustment of the distance between the end of the limiting post 443 away from the adjusting screw hole 442 and the rotating shaft 441. In use, the limiting post 443 can be adjusted to ensure that the rotating seat 42 is pressed tightly against the fixed seat 41, which reduces the precision requirements of the fitting of the limiting member 44 and the locking mechanism 43, and helps to reduce production costs. In other embodiments, the rotating shaft 441 and the limiting post 443 can be integrally formed or welded together.

[0048] In some embodiments, the end of the limiting post 443 away from the rotating shaft 441 is provided with an abutment surface 444, which is convex spherical. Thus, when the latch is rotated so that the abutment portion 4313 gradually approaches the limiting post 443, the abutment surface 444 gradually contacts the abutment portion 4313, and the pressure between them gradually increases until they are properly engaged. This provides good guidance during installation, ensuring accurate engagement between the abutment portion 4313 and the limiting post 443.

[0049] In some embodiments, the front side 424 of the rotating seat 42 is provided with a rotating portion 425, the rotating shaft 441 is mounted on the rotating portion 425, and the limiting member 44 has a first state in which the limiting post 443 is parallel to the front side 424 and a second state in which the limiting post 443 is inclined relative to the front side 424; the folding mechanism 40 also includes a spring 45, which is connected between the rotating shaft 441 and the rotating seat 42, and has elastic deformation to drive the limiting member 44 to move from the first state to the second state. Specifically, the fixed seat 41 has a first end face, the rotating seat 42 has a second end face, the front side 424 is adjacent to the second end face, and in the use state, the second end face and the first end face are stacked together.

[0050] When the folded state is in which the limiting member 44 is not subjected to external force, the limiting member 44 can be in the second state under the action of the spring 45. When the rotating seat 42 is rotated to be stacked on top of the fixed seat 41, and the locking mechanism 43 is rotated to gradually approach the rotating seat 42, the abutment part 4313 can gradually contact the limiting post 443, and with the rotation of the locking mechanism 43, the limiting post 443 is gradually driven to rotate to the first state. At this time, the first locking part 421 and the second locking part 4324 are engaged, and the folding mechanism 40 is in the use state. This ensures that every time the folding mechanism 40 is switched from the folded state to the use state, the abutment part 4313 can gradually contact the limiting post 443 until they are properly engaged, ensuring the installation effect.

[0051] Optionally, the spring 45 is a torsion spring and is fitted onto the rotating shaft 441, which simplifies the installation structure of the spring 45.

[0052] In some embodiments, the abutment portion 4313 is provided with a receiving groove, and in the use state, the free end of the limiting member 44 abuts against the receiving groove. Thus, during the process of switching the folding mechanism 40 from the folded state to the use state, the limiting member 44 can be positioned and limited, preventing the limiting member 44 from shaking after the locking mechanism 43 contacts the abutment portion 4313 and before the first engaging portion 421 and the second engaging portion 4324 engage, ensuring the stability of the limiting member 44 during the switching process. Furthermore, in the use state, the limiting member 44 can be limited, ensuring the installation stability of the limiting member 44.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first engaging portion 421 is spaced apart from the side of the limiting member 44 away from the fixed base 41, and the second engaging portion 4324 is spaced apart from the side of the abutting portion 4313 away from the fixed base 41. That is, the abutting portion 4313 is located between the second engaging portion 4324 and the fixed base 41, and in the use state, the limiting member 44 is located between the first engaging portion 421 and the fixed base 41. It can be understood that in the use state, the cooperation structure between the abutting portion 4313 and the limiting member 44 is the main force-bearing position for holding the rotating seat 42 in the use state. By bringing the abutting portion 4313 and the limiting member 44 close to the first rotation axis X, the stability of the abutting portion 4313 and the limiting member 44 can be ensured.

[0054] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 43 includes a mounting member 431, an unlocking member 432, and an elastic member 433. The mounting member 431 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 41, and the unlocking member 432 is movably mounted on the mounting member 431 and has a snap-fit ​​position and an unlocked position. The elastic member 433 is disposed between the mounting member 431 and the unlocking member 432 and has elastic deformation that drives the unlocking member 432 to move from the unlocked position to the snap-fit ​​position. The unlocking member 432 has a second snap-fit ​​portion 4324, and the mounting member 431 has an abutment portion 4313. In the use state, the unlocking member 432 is in the snap-fit ​​position, and the second snap-fit ​​portion 4324 snaps into the first snap-fit ​​portion 421.

[0055] Specifically, the unlocking component 432 is slidably mounted on the mounting component 431 and positioned close to the free end of the mounting component 431. The sliding direction of the unlocking component 432 is perpendicular to the rotation axis 441 of the mounting component 431, and the unlocking position is farther from the rotation axis 441 of the mounting component 431 compared to the engaging position. That is, the length direction of the mounting component 431 is perpendicular to the first rotation axis 441, and the unlocking component 432 is slidably mounted on the mounting component 431 along its length direction. This reduces the width of the locking mechanism 43, which, when used in electric scooters, reduces the size of the locking mechanism 43 in the left-right direction of the electric scooter.

[0056] In the use state, the second latching portion 4324 abuts against the side of the first latching portion 421 facing the first rotation axis X, and the first latching portion 421 abuts against the side of the second latching portion 4324 facing the mounting member 431. The elastic member 433 keeps the unlocking member 432 engaged between the second latching portion 4324 and the first latching portion 421. When switching from the use state to the folded state, the unlocking member 432 can be pulled from the side of the mounting member 431 away from the rotating base 42, causing the unlocking member 432 to move to a position where the second latching portion 4324 is away from the first latching portion 421. This allows the mounting member 431 to rotate away from the rotating base 42, thereby rotating the rotating base 42 and switching the folding mechanism 40 to the folded state.

[0057] Conversely, when switching from the folded state to the use state, first rotate the rotating base 42 so that it is stacked on top of the fixed base 41, then rotate the mounting part 431 so that when the mounting part 431 is close to the rotating base 42, pull the unlocking part 432 from the side of the mounting part 431 away from the rotating base 42, so that the unlocking part 432 moves to the position where the second locking part 4324 is misaligned with the first locking part 421. After the mounting part 431 is rotated into place, release the unlocking part 432. Under the action of the elastic member 433, the unlocking part 432 can move to the position where the second locking part 4324 and the first locking part 421 are engaged, thereby completing the switch to the use state.

[0058] This design ensures structural reliability, prevents easy opening of the locking mechanism 43, and allows the locking mechanism 43 and the unlocking component 432 to be located at the front. When the user needs to switch states, the unlocking component 432 can be easily observed and operated precisely, reducing the time spent on trial and error and making it more convenient for the user.

[0059] Of course, in other embodiments, the sliding direction of the unlocking member 432 may be parallel to the first rotation axis X; or, the unlocking member 432 may be rotatably mounted on the mounting member 431, and the rotation axis of the unlocking member 432 may be perpendicular to the first rotation axis X and the length direction of the mounting member 431.

[0060] In some embodiments, the end of the unlocking member 432 furthest from the first rotation axis X is not higher than the free end of the mounting member 431. Specifically, even when the unlocking member 432 moves to its furthest position from the first rotation axis X, the end of the unlocking member 432 furthest from the first rotation axis X is flush with or spaced apart from the free end of the mounting member 431. This allows the user to support their hand on the free end of the mounting member 431 when pulling the unlocking member 432, facilitating the application of force and improving user operation. It also avoids the risk of the unlocking member 432 being damaged during use due to its higher position from the first rotation axis X, thus improving its reliability. Of course, in other embodiments, when the unlocking member 432 moves to its furthest position from the first rotation axis X, it may extend beyond the free end of the mounting member 431.

[0061] Optionally, the width of the unlocking component 432 is smaller than the width of the mounting component 431, that is, the orthographic projection of the unlocking component 432 on the mounting component 431 is entirely located on the mounting component 431. In this way, the unlocking component 432 can be protected by the mounting component 431, reducing the risk that the unlocking component 432 will be affected by collision deformation and thus improving the reliability of the unlocking component 432.

[0062] In some embodiments, the mounting member 431 has a first through hole 4311, and the unlocking member 432 includes a handle 4321 and a locking block 4323. The handle 4321 is plate-shaped and located on the side of the mounting member 431 facing away from the rotating seat 42, and is slidably mounted at the first through hole 4311. The locking block 4323 is mounted on the portion of the handle 4321 corresponding to the first through hole 4311, and has a second locking portion 4324 that engages with the first locking portion 421. With this configuration, the size of the handle 4321 is not limited by the size of the mounting member 431, allowing the handle 4321 to be larger and easier for the user to operate. Of course, in other embodiments, the handle 4321 can also be located on the side of the mounting member 431 facing the rotating seat 42, and a lever can be provided on the handle 4321 so that the lever extends to the side of the mounting member 431 facing away from the rotating seat 42. Optionally, both the first snap-fit ​​portion 421 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 4324 are provided with guide slopes to facilitate snapping the second snap-fit ​​portion 4324 into the first snap-fit ​​portion 421.

[0063] In some embodiments, the unlocking member 432 has a pull ring portion 4322 at one end away from the first rotation axis X. The pull ring portion 4322 is located on the side of the mounting member 431 opposite to the rotating seat 42, and the mounting member 431 has a clearance space 4312 corresponding to the position of the pull ring portion 4322. That is, the user can pull the handle 4321 by inserting his / her finger into the inner hole of the pull ring portion 4322. The force-bearing area is large, which can reduce the pressure on the user's hand during operation and prevent the hand from slipping during operation. By providing a clearance space 4312 in the mounting member 431, the mounting member 431 can be prevented from blocking the user's finger, ensuring that the user can fully insert his / her finger into the pull ring portion 4322 to better hook the pull ring portion 4322, which is convenient for the user to operate. Optionally, when the pull ring is in the unlocked position, it is spaced apart from the free end face of the mounting member 431.

[0064] In some embodiments, the elastic member 433 is disposed within the first through hole 4311, and the locking block 4323 has a blocking portion 4325 located on the side of the mounting member 431 facing the rotating seat 42 and covering the first through hole 4311. Specifically, the first through hole 4311 is elongated, and its length direction is consistent with the sliding direction of the unlocking member 432. The length of the portion of the handle 4321 or the locking block 4323 located within the first through hole 4311 along the sliding direction of the unlocking member 432 is less than the length of the first through hole 4311, so the handle 4321 can cover the first through hole 4311. By placing the elastic element 433 within the first through hole 4311 and covering the first through hole 4311 with the blocking part 4325 on the locking block 4323, the elastic element 433 can be hidden inside. This reduces the risk of the elastic element 433 falling out and also prevents sand and gravel from entering the first through hole 4311 and affecting the elastic element 433, thus improving the reliability of the locking mechanism. Optionally, the elastic element 433 can be a compression spring 45, a spring sheet 351, or a rubber block, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments, the mounting base 41 has an insertion hole 411, a first hinge portion 412, and two locking portions 413. The two locking portions 413 are located on one side of the insertion hole 411 and are spaced apart. The gap between the two locking portions 413 extends to the inner wall of the insertion hole 411, so that the mounting base 41 is annular with openings at the two locking portions 413. The two locking portions 413 are connected by a second screw. The mounting member 431 is rotatably mounted on the two locking portions 413. The first rotating portion 425 is located on the side of the insertion hole 411 away from the two locking portions 413 and is hinged to the mounting base 41. The upper end of the front fork 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 411 and the two locking portions 413 are locked by the second screw, so that the mounting base 41 is locked to the upper end of the front fork 21. This facilitates the installation of the mounting base 41 and the front fork 21, and also allows the two locking portions 413 to be used to install a snap-fit ​​mechanism, thereby improving the structural compactness of the folding mechanism 40.

[0066] In some embodiments, the rotating base 42 is provided with a plug-in portion 422 and a second hinge portion 423. The plug-in portion 422 is used to plug into the lower end of the vertical tube 31 of the electric scooter, and the second hinge portion 423 is located on one side of the plug-in portion 422 and is hinged to the first hinge portion 412. This results in a larger connection area between the rotating base 42 and the vertical tube 31, improving the connection reliability. Optionally, the side of the plug-in portion 422 is provided with a plurality of third screw holes, and the vertical tube 31 is provided with a third through hole corresponding to each third screw hole, so that a locking screw can lock the plug-in portion 422 and the vertical tube 31 together.

[0067] In some embodiments, the handlebar assembly 30 further includes a handlebar seat 32, a handlebar 34, and a hook 33. One end of the handlebar seat 32 is connected to the upper end of the riser tube 31, and the other end extends towards the front of the riser tube 31. The handlebar 34 is mounted on the handlebar seat 32 and is located in front of the riser tube 31. The hook 33 is mounted on the handlebar seat 32 and has a suspension portion 332. The suspension portion 332 is located behind the handlebar seat 32 and extends along the length of the handlebar 34. The rear end faces of the suspension portion 332 and the handlebar seat 32 are spaced apart. In the folded state, the suspension portion 332 is engaged with the hook portion 52.

[0068] By arranging the suspension parts 332 at intervals behind the handlebar seat 32 and extending along the length of the handlebar 34, items can be hung using the suspension parts 332. Because the suspension parts 332 extend along the length of the handlebar 34, their size is relatively large, and their location in the middle of the handlebar 34 allows for the hanging of more items while reducing the impact on the electric scooter's balance when hanging heavy objects. This facilitates the user's hanging of personal belongings while ensuring riding safety. Furthermore, the absence of upward-extending hooks prevents clothing from being snagged during riding or getting on and off the scooter, ensuring safety.

[0069] In some embodiments, the hanger 33 further includes two connecting portions 331, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the handlebar 32 and extend along the length of the handlebar 32. The suspension portion 332 is connected between the two connecting portions 331. This arrangement allows for a larger contact area between the hanger 33 and the handlebar 32, thereby improving the installation stability of the hanger 33. Of course, in other embodiments, the hanger 33 can also be fixed at the rear end of the handlebar 32.

[0070] In some embodiments, the handlebar 32 has a mounting hole 321 on its side. The end of the connecting portion 331 away from the hanging portion 332 extends into the handlebar 32 through the mounting hole 321 and is fixed to the handlebar 32. That is, the hanger 33 is mainly fixed by the portion of the connecting portion 331 located inside the handlebar 32. This allows the hanger 33 to be hidden from the connecting portion 331 of the handlebar 32, preventing collisions with external objects, ensuring reliability and a better appearance. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 331 is welded to the outside of the handlebar 32.

[0071] In some embodiments, a fixing part 322 is provided inside the handlebar 32 and inside the mounting hole 321, and the connecting part 331 is fixed to the fixing part 322. This reduces the length of the connecting part 331 inside the handlebar 32, thereby reducing the space occupied inside the handlebar 32, so as to reserve more space inside the handlebar 32 for setting up functional components such as buttons and displays.

[0072] In some embodiments, a limiting groove 323 is provided on the side of the handle 32, extending along the length of the handle 32, and the connecting part 331 is located within the limiting groove 323. Specifically, when a heavy object is hung on the suspension part 332, the connecting part 331 deforms downward and abuts against the lower side wall of the limiting groove 323. That is, the lower side wall of the limiting groove 323 can support the connecting part 331, reducing the deformation of the connecting part 331 when hanging a heavy object, and improving the load-bearing capacity and reliability of the hanger 33. When no heavy object is hung, the connecting part 331 and the side wall (upper side wall or lower side wall) of the limiting groove 323 can abut against each other, or they can be spaced a certain distance apart (which can reduce the fitting precision).

[0073] In some embodiments, the suspension part 332 includes a support section 3321 and an opening / closing section 3324. The support section 3321 is connected to one of the connecting parts 331 and extends along the length of the handle 34. The opening / closing section 3324 is hinged to the other connecting part 331 and has a closed state overlapping the support section 3321 and an open state away from the support section 3321. When it is necessary to hang an object, the opening / closing section 3324 can be rotated to the open state, so that objects with closed handles, such as plastic bags, can be hung on the support section 3321. Then, the opening / closing section 3324 can be rotated to the closed state to prevent the object from falling off. This not only makes it convenient for users to hang items but also ensures reliable hanging and reduces the risk of items falling off. Optionally, the hook portion 52 is ring-shaped. By opening the opening / closing section 3324, the support section 3321 can pass through the hook portion 52, and then the opening / closing section 3324 can be returned to the closed state. This ensures a reliable connection between the hanging piece 33 and the hook portion 52 in the folded state, preventing them from separating during handling. Of course, in other embodiments, when the suspension portion 332 is integrated with the two connecting portions 331, items can be hung by providing one or more hooks / hooks (carabiners) on the suspension portion 332. Additionally, the hook portion 52 can also be hook-shaped.

[0074] In some embodiments, the end of the opening and closing section 3324 is provided with two connecting sides 3325 and a receiving hole 3326 located between the two connecting sides 3325. The receiving hole 3326 extends along the length direction of the opening and closing section 3324. The connecting part 331 is hinged between the two connecting sides 3325. The end of the connecting part 331 is provided with a limiting groove 3311 corresponding to the position of the receiving hole 3326. The hanging member 33 also includes an elastic member 35. The elastic member 35 is located in the receiving hole 3326 and has a spring piece 351 extending into the limiting groove 3311. The spring piece 351 has an elastic deformation that drives the opening and closing section 3324 to move from the open state to the closed state. The opening and closing section 3324 can be kept in the closed state by the elastic component 35. When the opening and closing section 3324 is opened to the open state, it can also be reset to the closed state by the elastic component 35 after being released. This can avoid manually switching the opening and closing section 3324 to the closed state and can also prevent the opening and closing section 3324 from opening automatically during driving, thus ensuring high reliability.

[0075] Optionally, the hanger 33 also includes a limiting spring 36, which is sleeved on the elastic member 35. One end of the limiting spring 36 abuts against the wall of the receiving hole 3326 away from the limiting slot 3311, and the other end abuts against the spring piece 351. In this way, the limiting spring 36 can be used to press the spring piece 351 against the limiting slot 3311, thereby better keeping the opening and closing section 3324 in the closed state.

[0076] In some embodiments, a first slot 3322 is provided on the upper side of the support section 3321, extending to the end face of the support section 3321. A first engaging portion 3327 is provided at the end of the opening and closing section 3324. The rotation axis 441 of the opening and closing section 3324 extends along the length direction of the handle 34. In the closed state, the first engaging portion 3327 is located within the first slot 3322. Specifically, the opening of the first slot 3322 faces upward, and the bottom wall of the slot 3322 opposite to the opening is spaced apart from the lower side of the support section 3321. The first slot 3322 penetrates the end face of the support section 3321, and the first engaging portion 3327 is located on the upper side of the end of the opening and closing section 3324 and spaced apart from the lower side of the end of the opening and closing section 3324. In the closed state, the support section 3321 can restrict the downward rotation of the opening and closing section 3324, while the first slot 3322 can restrict the horizontal rotation of the opening and closing section 3324, so that the opening and closing section 3324 can be stably kept in the closed state, reducing the possibility of the opening and closing section 3324 opening due to accidental operation. Of course, in other embodiments, a limiting part can also be provided in the connecting part 331, so that the limiting part extends to the lower side of the hinge end of the opening and closing section 3324. In the closed state, the opening and closing section 3324 abuts against the upper part of the limiting part to restrict the downward rotation of the opening and closing section 3324.

[0077] Optionally, a second slot 3323 is also provided on the upper side of the support section 3321. The second slot 3323 extends radially along the support section 3321, and a first slot 3322 extends from the second slot 3323 to the end face of the support section 3321. A second engaging portion 3328 is provided at the end of the first engaging portion 3327 away from the hinge end of the opening and closing section 3324. In the closed state, the second engaging portion 3328 engages with the second slot 3323. In this way, in the closed state, the swing of the opening and closing section 3324 can be further restricted, so that the opening and closing section 3324 can be stably maintained in the closed state.

[0078] In some embodiments, a virtual plane parallel to the upper surface of the pedal assembly 10 is defined, and the orthographic projection of the rear wheel 23 onto the virtual plane lies within the orthographic projection of the mudguard onto the virtual plane. That is, the mudguard can completely cover the rear wheel 23, which can further block mud and water splashed up by the rear wheel 23 during driving, and further improve the mud-blocking effect.

[0079] In some embodiments, the mudguard has an extension 53 on its rear side, which is spaced at the rear side of the rear wheel 23 and extends downward. It is understood that mud and water splashed up by the rear wheel 23 during operation typically move along the tangential direction of the rear wheel 23. By providing the extension 53, the mud and water splashed upward by the rear wheel 23 during operation can be effectively blocked, preventing mud and water from splashing onto the pedal assembly 10 and minimizing the height of mud and water splashes during operation, thus reducing the impact on pedestrians or electric scooters behind.

[0080] Optionally, the width of the extension 53 is greater than the width of the rear wheel 23, which can effectively limit the amount of mud and water splashing to the side and further improve the mud-blocking effect.

[0081] In some embodiments, the rear end of the pedal assembly 10 is further provided with two mounting positions, which are located on opposite sides of the mounting notch 111 and are not higher than the upper surface of the pedal assembly 10. The electric scooter also includes two taillights 93, which are located on the two mounting positions and spaced apart from the rear wheel 23. The two taillights 93 can be always turned on during riding to serve as driving indicator lights, turn signals, or brake lights. By providing two mounting positions at the rear end of the pedal assembly 10, which are located on opposite sides of the rear wheel 23, and installing one taillight 93 at each mounting position, the taillights 93 on both sides of the rear wheel 23 can have a larger illumination range, improving the lighting effect. Moreover, this arrangement allows the two taillights 93 to be used as turn signals or brake lights, providing strong scalability and improving the warning effect of the taillights 93.

[0082] In some embodiments, the back of the pedal assembly 10 is provided with two fixing plates 113, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the width direction of the pedal assembly 10 and extend along the length direction of the pedal assembly 10. Optionally, the fixing plates 113 are provided with clearance notches 114 at the mounting positions, through which the taillight 93 is exposed. Specifically, the fixing plates 113 are generally perpendicular to the back of the pedal assembly 10, thus strengthening the structural strength of the pedal assembly 10 and reducing the risk of deformation. By providing clearance notches 114 at the mounting positions of the fixing plates 113, the space of the mounting position is increased, which is beneficial to increasing the size of the taillight 93 and reducing the interference of the fixing plates 113 on the taillight 93, thus facilitating the installation of the taillight 93.

[0083] In some embodiments, the pedal assembly 10 has two reinforcing plates 115 on its back side. The two reinforcing plates 115 are spaced apart in the width direction of the pedal assembly 10 and located between two fixing plates 113. The reinforcing plates 115 extend along the length direction of the pedal assembly 10 and are mounted between the fixing plates 113 and the reinforcing plates 115. The rear wheel 23 is mounted on the reinforcing plate 115. Specifically, the reinforcing plates 115 are approximately perpendicular to the back side of the pedal assembly 10 and spaced apart from the fixing plates 113. This further strengthens the structural strength of the pedal assembly 10 and reduces the risk of deformation. By using the reinforcing plates 115 to mount the rear wheel 23, the axis of the rear wheel 23 can be lower than the upper surface of the pedal assembly 10, preventing the rear wheel 23 from being too large.

[0084] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a battery module 60 disposed between two reinforcing plates 115. The distance between the two reinforcing plates 115 is greater than the distance between the fixing plate 113 and the reinforcing plates 115. This utilizes the space between the two reinforcing plates 115 to mount the battery module 60, which helps reduce the overall thickness of the pedal assembly 10 and facilitates user use. Optionally, the pedal assembly 10 also includes a cover plate 14 connected to the two reinforcing plates 115 to cover the battery module 60 between the two reinforcing plates 115, thus protecting the battery module 60. Of course, in other embodiments, the height of the reinforcing plate 115 can be less than the height of the fixing plate 113, and the battery module 60 can be disposed on the side of the reinforcing plate 115 away from the back of the pedal 11.

[0085] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a foot support assembly 70, which includes a mounting base 71 and a support rod 72. The mounting base 71 is mounted on the pedal assembly 10 and located inside one of the fixing plates 113. The support rod 72 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 71 and has a ground-supporting state extending from the underside of the fixing plate 113 and a retracted state retracted inside the fixing plate 113. In the retracted state, one end of the support rod 72 away from the mounting base 71 extends out from a clearance notch 114. Specifically, the end of the support rod 72 away from the mounting base 71 is bent. In the retracted state, the main body of the support rod 72 is located between the fixing plate 113 and the reinforcing plate 115, with only the portion of the support rod 72 away from the mounting base 71 extending out from the clearance notch 114 and located in front of the taillight 93, so that the user can unfold the foot support mechanism to the ground-supporting state. This allows the space between the fixed plate 113 and the reinforcing plate 115 to accommodate the foot support mechanism, thereby improving the space utilization rate under the pedal assembly 10. At the same time, the fixed plate 113 can effectively protect the foot support mechanism when it is folded up, reducing the risk of the foot support mechanism being damaged by collision during driving.

[0086] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a circuit assembly electrically connected to the taillight 93. Specifically, the circuit assembly includes a circuit board and electronic components such as a controller mounted on the circuit board. Both the taillight 93 and the battery module 60 are electrically connected to the circuit board so that the operating state of the taillight 93 can be controlled by the controller. The specific composition of the circuit assembly can refer to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0087] In some embodiments, the electric scooter also includes a lighting controller, which is mounted on the handlebar 34 of the handlebar assembly 30 and electrically connected to the circuit assembly. The lighting controller is used to control the taillight 93 on the corresponding side to light up when turning. Specifically, the lighting controller has a switch (which can be a push switch or a push switch). When turning, the user can control the corresponding taillight 93 to light up through the lighting controller to alert people behind.

[0088] In some embodiments, the electric scooter also includes a braking device, and the circuitry is configured to activate the power supply circuits for the two taillights 93 when the braking device is engaged. Optionally, the control component 81 of the braking device is located on the handlebars 34, and the actuation component 82 of the braking device (such as a brake caliper) is located at the rear wheel 23. When the user brakes, the controller activates the power supply circuits for the two taillights 93 to illuminate them, thus alerting people behind.

[0089] In some embodiments, the pedal assembly 10 includes a pedal 11 and an arched bracket 12. The arched bracket 12 is connected to the front end of the pedal 11 and is higher than the upper surface of the pedal 11. A receiving space 121 is formed below the arched bracket 12, and a mounting hole 122 is provided at the top of the arched bracket 12. The front fork 21 is rotatably mounted in the mounting hole 122, the front fork 21 is located in the receiving space 121, and the front wheel 22 is partially located in the mounting notch 111.

[0090] Both ends of the arched bracket 12 are connected to the front end of the pedal 11, with the arch apex of the bracket 12 centrally located. Compared to the structure of a single link supporting the handlebar assembly 30, the arched bracket 12 has more connection points and a wider connection area with the pedal 11, effectively improving the structural strength of the pedal assembly 10 and distributing the force, avoiding force concentration, and enhancing durability. It also helps to increase the width of the pedal 11, increasing the user's foot area for easier use. Furthermore, the arched bracket 12 also provides some protection to the side of the front wheel 22, reducing the risk of impact to the front wheel 22.

[0091] In some embodiments, the arched bracket 12 and the pedal 11 are formed separately and then connected together by welding or by a locking mechanism. This facilitates the forming of the arched bracket 12 and the pedal 11 and reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the arched bracket 12 and the pedal 11. Of course, in other embodiments, the arched bracket 12 and the pedal 11 can also be formed as a single piece.

[0092] Optionally, the pedal assembly 10 also includes an anti-slip pad 17 disposed on the upper surface of the pedal 11.

[0093] In some embodiments, the arched bracket 12 includes an arched portion 123 and two support portions 124. One end of each support portion 124 has a connecting portion 331 connected to the front end of the pedal 11. The two support portions 124 are spaced apart along the width direction of the pedal 11, and the support portions 124 gradually extend upwards away from the pedal 11. The arched portion 123 connects the ends of the two support portions 124 away from the pedal 11, and a accommodating space 121 is located between the arched portion 123 and the two support portions 124. This arrangement allows the arched portion 123 to be positioned away from the pedal 11, ensuring ample space below the arched portion 123 for mounting the front wheel 22 and front fork 21. It also reduces interference from the support portions 124 to the front wheel 22, which is beneficial for increasing the steering angle of the front wheel 22.

[0094] Furthermore, the two connection points between the arched bracket 12 and the pedal 11 are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the pedal 11, which can better maintain the balance of the pedal 11 when the width of the pedal 11 is increased, making it convenient for users to use.

[0095] In some embodiments, the support portion 124 is plate-shaped, with its thickness direction aligned with the width direction of the pedal 11. The connecting portion 331 extends along the length direction of the pedal 11. Two fixing plates 113 are provided on the back of the pedal 11, both extending along the length direction and spaced apart along the width direction. Each connecting portion 331 is connected to the inner side of one fixing plate 113. Specifically, the fixing plates 113 are approximately perpendicular to the surface of the pedal 11. This strengthens the structural strength of the pedal 11, reducing the risk of deformation, and also increases the contact area between the connecting portion 331 and the fixing plate 113, improving connection stability. By making the support portion 124 plate-shaped, effective support is provided while reducing the space occupied by the support portion 124 in the accommodating space 121. This allows for a larger accommodating space 121 without excessively increasing the width of the arched bracket 12, reducing interference between the support portion 124 and the front wheel 22. Of course, in other embodiments, the support portion 124 can also be tubular, etc.

[0096] Optionally, the two fixing plates 113 are respectively disposed on both sides of the pedal 11 along the width direction, so that the distance between the two support parts 124 is as large as possible, which can better distribute the force and maintain the balance of the pedal 11.

[0097] In some embodiments, the arched bracket 12 further includes a reinforcing member 13, which is located at the front end of the pedal 11 and connected to two reinforcing plates 115. The reinforcing member 13 is connected between two support portions 124. Specifically, the reinforcing member 13 includes a first plate 131 and two second plates 132 perpendicularly connected to the first plate 131. The first plate 131 and the second plates 132 are integrally formed. Each second plate 132 is connected to the outer side of a reinforcing plate 115 (the side facing away from the battery module 60). The first plate 131 is connected between the two support portions 124, and the thickness direction of the first plate 131 is approximately parallel to the length direction of the pedal 11. This arrangement can improve the structural strength of the support portion 124 through the reinforcing member 13, reducing the risk of deformation of the support portion 124. It can also protect the battery module 60 through the reinforcing member 13, reducing the risk of damage to the front end of the battery module 60 from impacts by foreign objects during driving.

[0098] In some embodiments, the arched portion 123 includes an integrally formed arched body 1231 and an upper plate 1232. The upper plate 1232 is located above the arched body 1231, with both ends of the upper plate 1232 connected to the arched body 1231. The portion between the two ends of the upper plate 1232 is spaced from the arched body 1231, and the mounting hole 122 penetrates through the upper plate 1232 and the arched body 1231. That is, the portion of the arched portion 123 with the mounting hole 122 is multi-layered, which can effectively improve the structural strength at the mounting hole 122 and also avoid excessive weight of the arched bracket 12. Optionally, the pedal assembly 10 also includes a sleeve 15, which is installed in the mounting hole 122 and welded to the arched portion 123. One of the vertical tube 31 and the fork 21 is rotatably installed in the sleeve 15.

[0099] In some embodiments, the electric scooter also includes a locking screw that secures the connecting part 331 to the pedal 11. This ensures a reliable connection between the connecting part 331 and the pedal 11 while facilitating assembly.

[0100] In some embodiments, the pedal assembly 10 further includes a housing 16 that covers the arched support 12 and is connected to the pedal 11. This allows the arched support 12 to be concealed, reducing requirements for the arched support 12 beyond structural strength (such as appearance, cleanliness, etc.), while the housing 16 can be made of materials such as plastic or stainless steel to meet requirements beyond load-bearing.

[0101] In some embodiments, a wiring space is formed between the arched bracket 12 and the housing 16. A first cable routing hole 1241 is provided on the arched bracket 12 near the pedal 11, communicating with the wiring space. A second cable routing hole 161 is provided on the housing 16 away from the pedal 11, also communicating with the wiring space.
