[0029] 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.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Please see Figure 1-7 An electric assist device for bicycles includes a fixed bracket 1, a modular snap-fit ​​structure and a connector 8. An adaptive elastic clamping mechanism is provided between the fixed bracket 1 and the connector 8. A hub motor 9 is provided on the side of the connector 8. A battery and a control device 10 are electrically connected to the side of the hub motor 9. A friction wheel is provided on the outside of the hub motor 9.

[0032] A first connecting block 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 1, and a support frame 5 is rotatably connected to the side end of the fixed bracket 1 via a second pin.

[0033] The support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the support adjustment block 4 at a 30-degree angle, and the first connecting block 2 is threadedly connected to the first bolt 3.

[0034] The modular snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​62, which is rotatably connected to the lower end of the support frame 5. A fixing block 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 5. A first slot is opened on the side end of the fixing block 61, and a second slot is opened on the side end of the snap-fit ​​62.

[0035] The modular snap-fit ​​structure also includes a union bolt 64, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first slot of the fixed block 61, and a union nut 63 is threaded onto the union bolt 64.

[0036] The adaptive elastic clamping mechanism includes a first pin 71, which is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed bracket 1 and the connector 8. A torsion spring 72 is provided on the first pin 71, and the friction wheel is made of high elastic rubber with anti-slip texture on the surface.

[0037] Working process: By manually turning and opening the union bolt 64 and union nut 63, the limiting position of the fixing block 61 and the buckle 62 is released, and the bicycle front fork is connected to the inner side of the fixing block 61 and the buckle 62. Then, the union bolt 64 and union nut 63 are used to fix the whole device. The bicycle front wheel is aligned with the groove between the fixing bracket 1 and the support frame 5. The first bolt 3 is manually adjusted and rotated so that the first bolt 3 supports the support adjustment block 4, so that the fixing bracket 1 and the support frame 5 form a suitable angle and fit against the outside of the front wheel. Then, the self-adaptive elastic clamping mechanism, through the installed torsion spring 72, keeps the hub motor 9 in close contact with the bicycle front wheel. The hub motor 9 is controlled to rotate by the battery and control device 10. The friction wheel set on the outside of the hub motor 9 rotates and drives the front wheel to rotate, thereby providing electric assistance to the bicycle, thus easily improving riding efficiency and comfort.

[0038] After use, the device can be folded by rotating the fixed bracket 1 and the support frame 5 for easy storage.
