Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation tools, and in particular to a scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Scooters are popular among consumers due to their small size, simple structure, lightweight design, and maneuverability. In daily use, some scenarios require both front and rear turn signals; others require separate signals, with the front turn signal at the front and the rear at the rear, partly for safety reasons. Developing two different scooters to meet these needs would impact production efficiency and increase costs. However, if a simple modification to one model can create another, both needs can be met with minimal cost. Furthermore, this modification should minimize disruption to the scooter's original appearance; otherwise, changes to the exterior could delay time to market and even negatively impact the user experience.

[0055] The following is combined Figures 1 to 7 The scooter 100 of Example 1 will be described below.

[0056] Example 1 provides a scooter, the scooter 100 including a body 140 and a headlight assembly 150. Figure 7 ) and rear turn signal 320 ( Figure 2 The front turn signal assembly 150 is located at the front end of the vehicle body 140. The front turn signal assembly 150 includes a first headlight cover, a second headlight cover, and a front turn signal source 151 (see...). Figure 7 The front turn signal source 151 is built into the first headlight cover; the second headlight cover is used to accommodate the rear turn signal source 152; the rear turn signal 320 is detachably connected to the rear end of the vehicle body 140 when the rear turn signal source 152 is removed from the second headlight cover. Figure 1 An exemplary schematic diagram of the scooter's structure is shown when the rear turn signal 320 is separated from the rear end of the vehicle body 140.

[0057] In this embodiment, the rear turn signal 320 is detachable from the rear end of the vehicle body 140. To meet the user's need for separate front and rear turn functions, the original front rear turn signal source 152 of the scooter can be removed from the second headlight cover, and the rear turn signal 320 can be installed at the rear end of the vehicle body 140. This method does not require redesigning a new scooter or modifying the entire vehicle; only minor modifications to the existing scooter are needed to meet the requirements, and the modification method is simple and convenient. After removing the front rear turn signal source 152 from the second headlight cover, the second headlight cover remains unchanged as an exterior component. Therefore, only the rear of the scooter is changed due to the installation of the rear turn signal 320; the appearance of the front remains unchanged, minimizing the production cost incurred by removing the front rear turn signal source 152 and effectively ensuring the efficiency of scooter production and market launch.

[0058] Since the rear end of the vehicle body 140 is less likely to be obstructed by the rider, the original front-mounted rear turn function is moved to the rear of the vehicle. That is, the rear turn signal 320 is installed at the rear end of the vehicle body 140, which can also improve the visibility of the rear turn warning function and improve the safety of using the scooter.

[0059] This improvement to the scooter, as described in this application, can be used in at least the following scenarios: Country A and Country B have different regulations regarding rear turn signals. Country A requires both front and rear turn signals to be located at the front of the scooter. Country B, however, requires separate front and rear turn signals, with the front turn signal located at the front and the rear turn signal at the rear. Using the technical solution of this application, in Country A, the front turn signal source 151 and the rear turn signal source 152 at the front of the scooter can be retained. If it needs to be used in Country B, the rear turn signal source 152 can be removed from the second headlight cover, and a rear turn signal 320 can be installed at the rear of the scooter body 140. This eliminates the need for modifications to the entire scooter, resulting in minimal changes and a simpler structure, thus reducing production costs. Furthermore, since the rear turn signal source 152 is removed from the second headlight cover, the appearance of the front of the scooter remains unchanged, eliminating the need for recertification and accelerating market launch, helping companies seize market share.

[0060] In some alternative embodiments, the rear turn signal 320 is separated from the rear end of the vehicle body 140 when the rear turn signal source 152 is built into the second headlight cover.

[0061] In this embodiment, by utilizing the detachable connection between the rear turn signal 320 and the vehicle body 140, the scooter can be equipped with either the front rear turn signal 152 or the rear rear turn signal 320, which can enable the scooter to switch between two states: the front and rear turn functions are in front and the front and rear turn functions are separate.

[0062] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 2 The vehicle body 140 includes a rear mudguard 110, and the scooter also includes a light holder 200, which is detachably mounted on the rear mudguard 110, and a rear turn signal 320 is mounted on the light holder 200. Figure 2 In the illustrated implementation, the rear turn signal 320 is indirectly and detachably connected to the vehicle body 140 via a light holder 200. For example, since the rear turn signal 320 is mounted on the light holder 200, when the light holder 200 is connected to the rear fender 110, the rear turn signal 320 is also located at the rear end of the vehicle body 140. After the light holder 200 is removed from the rear fender 110, the rear turn signal 320 is also separated from the vehicle body 140.

[0063] like Figure 2As shown, the rear mudguard 110 is placed at the rear end of the scooter; the rear mudguard 110 is located above the rear wheel 120 of the scooter 100, which can effectively prevent mud, water, sand and gravel kicked up by the rear wheel 120 from splashing onto the back of the rider or pedestrians behind, keeping the ride clean.

[0064] In some other implementations, the rear turn signal 320 can be mounted directly on the rear mudguard 110 without the need for an intermediate medium, and without being indirectly connected through the light holder 200.

[0065] In some alternative embodiments, the rear turn signal source 152 is detachably mounted to the vehicle body 140. This allows the removed rear turn signal source 152 to be reinstalled, simplifying the switching between different configurations of the scooter. For example, if the state where both the front turn signal source 151 and the rear turn signal source 152 are simultaneously located at the front of the scooter is called the first state; and the state where the front turn signal source 151 is located at the front of the scooter and the rear turn signal source 320 is located at the rear is called the second state, if the rear turn signal source 152 is not detachable, when switching from the first state to the second state, the mounting position for the rear turn signal source 152 within the second headlight cover is damaged, making it less easy to switch back to the first state. Conversely, if the rear turn signal source 152 is detachable, it can be easily reinstalled in the same position after being removed.

[0066] Without limitation, the rear turn signal source 152 at the front of the vehicle can be installed on the vehicle body 140 by means of detachable connection such as snap-fit, magnetic connection, fastening, or screw connection.

[0067] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 7 The vehicle body 140 includes a handlebar assembly 130, and a front turn signal source 151 is mounted at the end of the handlebar assembly 130. In this way, the front turn signal source 151 can be moved away from the gripping part, reducing the obstruction of the turn signal by the human body and ensuring the turn signal warning effect.

[0068] For example, see [link to previous article] Figure 7 The handlebar assembly 130 includes a handlebar body and a grip 131. One end of the grip 131 is connected to the handlebar body, and the other end of the grip 131 is connected to the front turn signal source 151 and the rear turn signal source 152. The front turn signal source 151 and the rear turn signal source 152 are located on the front and rear sides of the grip 131, respectively. The area between the two ends of the grip 131 is the hand gripping area. The front turn signal source 151 and the rear turn signal source 152 are both located at the other end of the grip 131, away from the hand gripping area.

[0069] Mounting cavities 132 can be provided on the front and rear sides of the handlebar tube of the handlebar assembly 130, and the front turn signal source 151 and the rear turn signal source 152 can be installed in different mounting cavities 132. A headlight cover is provided outside the mounting cavity 132. When the light bracket 200 is connected to the rear mudguard 110, the second headlight cover is opened and the rear turn signal source 152 is taken out.

[0070] For example, the headlight cover (including a first headlight cover or a second headlight cover) can be installed on the vehicle body 140 using fasteners such as screws and bolts. When it is necessary to remove the rear turn signal source 152, the fasteners are removed, and the second headlight cover can be opened to expose the rear turn signal source 152 inside. After the rear turn signal source 152 is removed, the second headlight cover can be reset.

[0071] The rear turn signal source 152 can refer to the rear turn signal bulb. Alternatively, the rear turn signal source 152 can also refer to the rear turn signal bulb and the circuit board that controls the bulb to light up or turn off.

[0072] In some alternative embodiments, the lamp holder 200 is detachably mounted to an existing mounting position on the rear fender 110 so that the rear turn signal 320 is indirectly detachably connected to the vehicle body 140.

[0073] Because the light holder 200 is mounted on the rear mudguard 110, and is located at the rear of the vehicle, the rear turn signal 320 on the light holder 200 is more conspicuous, improving the warning effect of the turn signal. Moreover, compared to mounting the rear turn signal 320 at the front, the rear turn signal 320 is less likely to be obstructed by scooter riders, further ensuring the warning effect and improving safety when turning or changing lanes.

[0074] The light stand 200 is installed using existing mounting positions, making full use of the scooter's original structure to achieve light stand installation. There is no need to add new mounting positions for the light stand or remake the rear mudguard. This minimizes or even eliminates changes to the original scooter structure, reducing development or manufacturing costs.

[0075] The detachable connection between the light stand and the existing mounting point allows the same scooter to be used in different ways, making it versatile and meeting various needs in different scenarios, thus improving the user experience. For example, when riding on roads with heavy traffic or pedestrians, the existing component (if any) on the existing mounting point can be removed and replaced with the light stand. The rear turn signal on the light stand can then be used to indicate turning or lane-changing intentions, improving riding safety. When riding on safe roads with almost no vehicles or pedestrians, the rear turn signal may not be necessary. The light stand can be removed from the existing mounting point, and the previously removed component can be reinstalled on the rear fender, making the scooter lighter and increasing riding enjoyment.

[0076] In addition to the rear turn signal 320, the light holder 200 can also mount components such as the license plate and taillights. When the rear turn signal 320 is needed, simply install the light holder 200 into the existing mounting position; it's a one-step process. There's no need to perform multiple steps to install the rear turn signal, license plate, or taillights separately on the rear fender.

[0077] In some alternative implementations, the existing mounting position includes a vehicle license plate position. When the light holder 200 is separated from the rear mudguard 110, the vehicle license plate position is used to install the license plate; when the light holder 200 is connected to the rear mudguard 110, the light holder 200 is installed in the vehicle license plate position.

[0078] When a light fixture is required, remove the existing license plate from the rear fender 110 and replace it with the light fixture 200. If a license plate is still needed after the light fixture 200 is connected to the rear fender 110, it can also be mounted on the light fixture 200. For example: See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The rear mudguard 110 includes the vehicle license plate position 114, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 The light holder 200 includes a license plate holder 220. When the light holder 200 is connected to the rear fender 110, the license plate holder 220 is located behind and covers the license plate position 114. After the light holder 200 is installed, it may obstruct the original license plate position 114. By setting the license plate holder 220 on the light holder 200 and using the license plate holder 220 to install the license plate, the conspicuous position of the license plate can be ensured. Moreover, after the light holder 200 is removed from the rear fender 110, the original license plate position 114 can still be used to install the license plate, which can meet the license plate installation needs in different situations.

[0079] It is understandable that the vehicle body license plate position and the light frame license plate part 220 can have the same structure, or the vehicle body license plate position and the light frame license plate part 220 can have the same structure and size. In this way, the same license plate can be used in both the disassembled and connected states of the light frame 200, and the installation is more convenient.

[0080] In other alternative implementations, see Figure 6 The existing installation positions include the first taillight installation position 101.

[0081] In some implementations, the existing mounting location can also be a section of the outer surface of the rear mudguard 110. In this case, no components need to be installed if the existing mounting location does not have a lamp holder 200 installed.

[0082] The following description uses the existing mounting position as the first taillight mounting position 101 as an example to further illustrate the embodiments of this application.

[0083] The rear fender 110 is provided with a first taillight mounting position 101. Figure 6 The lamp holder 200 is detachably installed at the first taillight mounting position 101.

[0084] The light bracket 200 is separated from the first taillight mounting position 101, as shown in the following figure. Figure 1 The light bracket 200 is not installed on the rear fender 110, but the first taillight mounting position 101 can still be used to install the taillight. See also Figure 2 The light bracket 200 is installed at the first taillight mounting position 101, and the taillight 310 and the rear turn signal 320 are both installed on the light bracket 200.

[0085] The light frame 200 is fixed by the first taillight mounting position 101, making full use of the original structure of the scooter 100 to install the light frame 200. There is no need to add a new mounting position for the light frame 200 or to remake the rear mudguard 110. This can minimize or even eliminate changes to the original structure of the scooter 100, thereby reducing research and development or manufacturing costs.

[0086] The taillight 310 can be at least one of the following: position light, brake light, or reversing light, but is not limited to this. The number of rear turn signals 320 is generally two, indicating left and right turns respectively. However, the number of rear turn signals 320 is not limited to two; there can be more than two.

[0087] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 4 The lamp holder 200 is provided with a second taillight mounting position 270 for mounting the taillight 310. The second taillight mounting position 270 is identical to the first taillight mounting position 101. "Identical" here can mean that the second taillight mounting position 270 and the first taillight mounting position 101 have the same structure, or that the second taillight mounting position 270 and the first taillight mounting position 101 have the same structure and dimensions. Thus, the rear fender 110 and the lamp holder 200 can mount the same taillight 310, saving parts. Furthermore, since the two taillight 310 mounting positions have the same structure, the mounting parts and mounting methods used for the taillight 310 on the rear fender 110 and the lamp holder 200 are the same, making the installation of the taillight 310 more convenient.

[0088] When the light holder 200 needs to be installed, the taillight 310 on the rear fender 110 can be removed and directly installed in the second taillight mounting position 270 of the light holder 200. There is no need to store the removed taillight 310 separately (which may result in the loss of the removed taillight 310), resulting in a better user experience.

[0089] It is understandable that the taillights installed at the second taillight mounting position 270 and the first taillight mounting position 101 can be two different taillights.

[0090] In this embodiment, the second taillight mounting position 270 and the first taillight mounting position 101 may include a slot, a hole, or a combination of both.

[0091] In some alternative embodiments, see Figures 3 to 5The light fixture 200 includes a main body 210, which is detachably connected to the first taillight mounting position 101, and a second taillight mounting position 270 is disposed on the main body 210. In other words, the light fixture 200 is detachably connected to the rear fender 110 via the main body 210. The taillight 310 can be mounted on the main body 210.

[0092] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the license plate holder 220 is connected below the main body 210 and is used to mount the license plate.

[0093] The license plate section 220 of the light stand further enhances the functionality of the light stand 200. For existing scooters 100 that cannot accommodate a license plate, the extension section provides an additional mounting location. If the existing scooter 100 already has a license plate mounting location, the added light stand 200 might obstruct that location; therefore, providing a license plate mounting location on the light stand 200 also ensures the license plate remains prominently displayed.

[0094] For example, see Figure 3 The license plate section 220 of the light fixture has a license plate mounting surface on the side facing away from the rear mudguard 110. The license plate is attached to the license plate mounting surface and can be fixed to the license plate section 220 of the light fixture by means of adhesive, snap-fit, magnetic attraction, welding or screws.

[0095] In the implementation illustrated in this application, see [reference needed]. Figure 6 The first taillight mounting position 101 includes a first mounting hole 111, see [reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second taillight mounting position 270 includes a second mounting hole 271; the main body 210 also includes a mounting post 250, which corresponds to the position of the first mounting hole 111. Exemplarily, fasteners such as bolts or screws can be used to sequentially pass through the first mounting hole 111 and the mounting post 250 to fix the light frame 200 to the rear mudguard 110. For example, the mounting post 250 has a fixing hole. To enhance the reliability of the connection between the mounting post 250 and the rear mudguard 110, a nut 251 can be pre-embedded in the fixing hole. Fasteners such as bolts pass through the first mounting hole 111 and the pre-embedded nut 251 to fix the light frame 200 to the rear mudguard 110.

[0096] Mounting post 250 is located above the second mounting hole 271, which is used to mount the taillight 310. Since mounting post 250 is aligned with the first mounting hole 111, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 This means that mounting the taillight 310 on the light bracket 200 is closer to the bottom surface than mounting the taillight 310 on the rear fender. In other words, there is a height difference between the second mounting hole 271 and the mounting post 250. Figure 4In the illustrated implementation, the second taillight mounting position 270 is located below the first taillight mounting position 101. The two are vertically offset to avoid interference between the taillight 310's installation on the light holder 200 and the light holder 200's installation on the rear mudguard 110. Furthermore, the second mounting hole 271 is located below the mounting post 250, causing the taillight 310 to be positioned lower on the light holder 200 than on the rear mudguard 110. This layout fully utilizes the ample lower space of the rear mudguard 110, and even after the light holder 200 is installed, there is no noticeable protrusion at the rear of the scooter 100, improving the user experience.

[0097] For example, the second mounting hole 271 and the mounting post 250 at least partially overlap in their vertical projections on the horizontal plane. Figure 5 For example, the vertical projections of the second mounting hole 271 and the mounting post 250 on the horizontal plane almost completely overlap. In other words, the second mounting hole 271 is basically directly below the mounting post 250. This vertical distribution makes full use of the vertical space of the lamp holder 200, and the layout is uniform, which helps to reduce the width of the lamp holder 200.

[0098] In some other implementations, the mounting post 250 may also be located below the second mounting hole 271.

[0099] The number of first mounting holes 111 can be one, two, or more, and the number of second mounting holes 271 can be equal to the number of first mounting holes 111. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the implementation shown, there are two first mounting holes and two second mounting holes 271.

[0100] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 5 The main body 210 also includes a rear extension 230 extending toward the rear mudguard 110 and located on both sides of the rear mudguard 110, and the rear turn signal 320 is mounted on the rear extension 230.

[0101] See Figure 2 The rear extension 230 is located on both sides of the rear mudguard and behind the taillight 310 on the light holder 200. The rear turn signal 320 is installed here, which is more conspicuous and makes it easier to stagger the installation positions of the taillight 310 and the light holder 200, as well as the installation positions of the light holder 200 and the rear mudguard 110, resulting in a more compact and reasonable layout.

[0102] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a rear extension 230 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the rear mudguard 110, and a rear turn signal 320 is installed on each rear extension 230. The two rear turn signals 320 indicate left turn or right turn respectively. The taillight 310 on the light bracket 200 is located between the two rear turn signals 320.

[0103] In this embodiment, the lamp holder 200 is a one-piece molded structure. For example, the entire structure of the lamp holder 200 can be integrally formed by machining or injection molding, including but not limited to the main body 210 and the lamp holder license plate part 220.

[0104] In some implementations, the light holder 200 is not a one-piece structure; the license plate portion 220 is detachably connected to the main body 210. This allows the license plate portion 220 to be removed separately when a license plate is not required. When a license plate needs to be installed, the license plate portion 220 is then connected to the main body 210, meeting the usage needs of scooters in different regions or countries.

[0105] The detachable connection between the light fixture license plate section 220 and the main body section 210 includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit, fastening, and screw connection.

[0106] For example, the lamp holder 200 is a plastic part, such as polypropylene (PP), but is not limited to this.

[0107] The one-piece molded light holder 200 makes it easier to install with the rear mudguard 110. For example, the rear turn signal 320 and taillight 310 (if any) can be installed on the light holder 200 first, and then the light holder 200 can be installed on the rear mudguard 110. After removing the light holder 200, the rear turn signal 320 and taillight 310 are also removed from the rear mudguard 110 along with the light holder 200, reducing the number of disassembly and assembly steps.

[0108] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 5 The main body 210 also includes multiple reinforcing ribs 240 located outside the mounting post 250. At least some of the reinforcing ribs 240 are provided with wiring channels 260 for housing the turn signal control wire of the rear turn signal 320. The reinforcing ribs 240 can not only strengthen the mounting post 250 and the light holder 200, but also organize and fix the turn signal control wire to ensure the reliability of the turn signal. One structure serves multiple purposes.

[0109] exist Figure 5In the implementation shown, the main body 210 has two mounting posts 250 on the rear side facing the rear mudguard 110. The two mounting posts 250 are connected by a first reinforcing rib 241. In addition to the first reinforcing rib 241, each mounting post 250 also has four second reinforcing ribs 242. A wiring groove 260 is provided on the portion of the reinforcing rib 240 along the path of the turn signal control line. For example: Figure 5 In the middle, the first reinforcing rib 241 and part of the second reinforcing rib 242 are provided with a cable tray 260 with a top opening.

[0110] The number of the first reinforcing rib 241 and the second reinforcing rib 242 can also be set to other numbers, such as two, three or more.

[0111] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first taillight mounting position 101 includes a first mounting groove 113 and a first mounting hole 111 communicating with the first mounting groove 113. For example, the first mounting hole 111 is opened on the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 113 and is opposite to the opening of the first mounting groove 113. The taillight 310 or the lamp holder 200 can be embedded in the first mounting groove 113 through the opening of the first mounting groove 113.

[0112] When the lamp holder 200 is separated from the rear fender 110, the first mounting groove 113 can be used to accommodate the taillight 310. The first mounting groove 113 provides initial fixation for the taillight 310, and then fasteners are used to pass through the aforementioned first mounting hole 111 and mounting post 250 to reinforce the connection between the taillight 310 and the rear fender 110. When the lamp holder 200 is connected to the rear fender 110, the first mounting groove 113 accommodates the lamp holder 200, and the reinforcing rib 240 can abut against the groove wall of the first mounting groove 113 to limit movement of the lamp holder 200 relative to the rear fender 110. The abutment ensures a tight fit (e.g., interference fit) between the reinforcing rib 240 and the groove wall of the first mounting groove 113, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the connection between the lamp holder 200 and the rear fender 110. In addition, by using the reinforcing rib 240 to abut against the groove wall of the first mounting groove 113, the lamp holder 200 can be initially fixed during the installation process. Then, by using fasteners to pass through the first mounting hole 111 and the mounting post 250, the installation of the lamp holder 200 can be made more convenient.

[0113] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 6The first taillight mounting position 101 includes a first wiring hole 112. The first taillight mounting position 101 and the lamp holder 200 also include a taillight control wire and a turn signal control wire. When the lamp holder 200 is connected to the rear mudguard 110, one end of the taillight control wire is connected to the taillight 310, and one end of the turn signal control wire is connected to the rear turn signal 320. The other ends of the taillight control wire and the turn signal control wire both pass through the first wiring hole 112. When the lamp holder 200 is separated from the rear mudguard 110, one end of the taillight control wire is connected to the taillight 310, and the other end of the taillight control wire passes through the first wiring hole 112.

[0114] Without the light bracket 200 installed, the first wiring hole 112 is used for the taillight control wire to pass through. After the light bracket 200 is installed, the original first wiring hole 112 on the rear mudguard 110 can still be used for wiring. In this way, the original wiring method of the whole vehicle will not be changed due to the installation of the light bracket 200 and the rear turn signal 320, further reducing the production cost caused by the installation of the light bracket 200 and the turn signal.

[0115] exist Figure 6 In the implementation shown, the first wiring hole 112 and the first mounting hole 111 are both located on the same bottom wall of the first mounting groove 113. The first wiring hole 112 is located between the two first mounting holes 111, and the inner diameter of the first wiring hole 112 is larger than the inner diameter of the first mounting hole 111 to ensure that the control line passes through smoothly.

[0116] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 5 The second taillight mounting position 270 includes a second wiring hole 273. When the lamp holder 200 is connected to the rear fender 110, the other end of the taillight control wire passes through the second wiring hole 273 and the first wiring hole 112 in sequence. The other end of the turn signal control wire passes through the gap between the rear fender 110 and the lamp holder 200, through the wiring groove 260, and then through the first wiring hole 112. See also Figure 5 The turn signal control wires of the two rear turn signals 320 are respectively introduced from both sides of the rear mudguard 110 through the gap between the rear mudguard 110 and the lamp holder 200 into the cavity formed by the lamp holder 200 and the rear mudguard 110. Then, the two turn signal control wires on both sides are respectively introduced into the first wiring hole 112 through the wiring groove 260 on the reinforcing rib 240. After passing through the first wiring hole 112, the taillight control wire can directly enter the second wiring hole 273.

[0117] For example, see Figure 4 The second taillight mounting position 270 includes a second mounting slot 272, see [reference]. Figures 4 to 6 The layout of the second wiring hole 273 and the second mounting hole 271 on the lamp holder 200 is the same as the layout of the first wiring hole 112 and the first mounting hole 111 on the rear mudguard 110.

[0118] In some alternative embodiments, the rear turn signal 320 includes a taillight cover 323. Figure 3 The rear turn signal source is integrated into the taillight cover 323, which is mounted on the lamp holder 200. The turn signal control line is electrically connected to the rear turn signal source. The taillight cover 323 serves as both the mounting carrier for the rear turn signal source, securing it to the lamp holder 200, and also provides protection for the rear turn signal source.

[0119] For example, at least one taillight cover 323 is mounted on each of the opposite sides of the light holder 200 in a lateral direction. Here, lateral means approximately perpendicular to the direction in which the scooter is traveling forward.

[0120] Without limitation, the taillight cover 323 is detachably mounted to the light holder 200. This facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the rear turn signal 320.

[0121] See Figure 5 The lamp holder 200 has a lamp hole 231. Specifically, the lamp hole 231 is located on the aforementioned rear extension 230, and the taillight cover 323 partially passes through the lamp hole. The connection between the rear turn signal 320 and the lamp holder 200 includes, but is not limited to, the following methods: First, the lamp hole is a threaded hole, and the taillight cover 323 has an external thread 321, allowing the taillight cover 323 to be threadedly connected to the wall of the lamp hole. Second, the lamp hole is not a threaded hole, but the taillight cover 323 has a thread. After the taillight cover 323 passes through the lamp hole, a nut is used to engage with the thread of the taillight cover 323 to fix the taillight cover 323 to the lamp holder 200.
