Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle accessories technology, specifically to a handlebar structure with integrated turn signals and an electric vehicle including the handlebar, which is particularly suitable for short-distance transportation tools such as electric scooters and electric bicycles. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the growth in demand for short-distance urban travel, electric scooters have rapidly gained popularity due to their lightweight and agile characteristics. However, existing electric scooters generally suffer from a significant design flaw: the lack of standardized, visually appealing turn signals. Users typically rely on hand gestures or body movements to communicate their intentions to surrounding vehicles and pedestrians when turning. However, in low-light conditions, complex traffic environments, or high-speed driving scenarios, the visibility of this traditional method is significantly reduced, leading to safety hazards when meeting oncoming traffic or changing lanes, and easily causing traffic accidents. To address this issue, some manufacturers have attempted to add external turn signals to the scooter, but existing solutions still have shortcomings. Their structural integration is low, and the turn signals are usually mounted externally on the handlebars or scooter surface, resulting in exposed wiring that is susceptible to rain corrosion or external damage, and also affecting the overall aesthetics of the scooter.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a turn signal solution that is highly integrated with the handlebars to improve the safety and user experience of electric scooters. Utility Model Content
