[0002] In urban transportation, scooters, with their lightweight and convenient characteristics, have become one of the preferred modes of transportation for many short-distance travelers. However, the complexity of urban traffic places higher demands on the portability of scooters. Therefore, folding scooters have emerged, designed to meet users' needs for easy carrying and storage when not in use, especially suitable for scenarios involving public transportation transfers or indoor storage.

[0003] Most mainstream folding scooter designs on the market currently employ the relative movement of the handlebar assembly (including the connected main bar and handlebars) with the main body to achieve the folding function. However, to ensure stability in the folded state and allow the scooter to be carried by hand, the handlebar assembly typically requires a complex locking device to lock its relative position to the main body. While this design achieves stability to some extent after folding, the complex locking device increases the number of parts in the folding mechanism and the assembly difficulty, leading to a significant increase in the production cost of folding scooters.
