This utility model provides a beach buggy rear axle assembly with a reasonable structural design, high strength, flexible rotation after connection to the frame, safety and reliability, and simple assembly. It meets the requirements for normal riding of beach buggies in harsh outdoor environments, ensuring the safety of the rider.
[0004] However, most existing ATV rear suspension assemblies are connected to the engine via a suspension connection. Over time, the sheet metal connected to the engine is prone to deformation, resulting in low safety and potential chain loosening that affects normal operation. Therefore, this does not meet current requirements. To address this, we have proposed a new ATV rear suspension assembly. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) This utility model provides a reinforcing component on one side of the engine. The reinforcing component includes a reinforcing plate, a connecting arm, a base plate, and a screw. One end of the screw passes through the screw hole from bottom to top, and the surface of one end of the screw contacts the lower surface of the base plate. The base plate is supported by the screw, thereby supporting the engine. The suspension sheet metal is connected to the suspension shaft through an external suspension component. When the suspension is connected, the force on the suspension is reduced because the screw is pressing against the engine, making it less likely for the suspension sheet metal to deform. This improves the stability of the engine installation and solves the problem that most existing ATV rear suspension assemblies are connected to the engine through a suspension connection method. After long-term use, the sheet metal connected to the engine is prone to deformation, resulting in low safety and loosening of the chain, which affects normal use.
