Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a basket and an electric vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicles are an important means of transportation that are convenient and environmentally friendly, making them popular. Especially in large cities where road congestion is a serious problem, these lightweight and flexible modes of transportation are the first choice for people to travel. Electric vehicles are smaller, easier to learn and operate than traditional fuel vehicles, and are quieter and safer to drive. They are also less strenuous than bicycles, giving them a significant advantage for short-distance travel. As a result, more and more people are choosing to use electric vehicles for transportation.

[0003] The electric vehicle's basket, fixed to the head tube of the frame, is used to store items, providing convenience for people to carry their belongings. Please see below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a bicycle basket in the prior art. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A sectional view of a partial structure of the basket. The basket includes a side wall 1', the top of which is used to connect to the basket lid. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The top of the side wall 1' needs to be rolled to form a rounded edge 11'. The rounded edge 11' is designed to facilitate the welding of the shaping tube 2'. The shaping tube 2' is used to shape the edge and fasten the basket lid. A metal wire 3' needs to be inserted inside the rounded edge 11' to prevent problems such as weld burn-through during the welding process between the shaping tube 2' and the rounded edge 11'. However, gaps are prone to appear between the rounded edge 11' and the shaping tube 2', and it is not easy to weld the shaping tube 2' and the rounded edge 11' in the center, which affects the appearance of the basket. In addition, the structure of the basket is complex, the assembly process is cumbersome, and the cost is high.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a new basket and electric vehicle to address the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
