[0024] The following examples illustrate possible implementations of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The illustration shows an embodiment of the present invention. The scooter 1 of the present invention includes a vehicle body 10, a connecting mechanism 20, a handlebar stand 30, and a wheel assembly 40.

[0026] The vehicle body 10 includes a pedal portion 11 and at least one first wheel 12 disposed on the pedal portion 11. A coupling mechanism 20 connects to the vehicle body 10. The coupling mechanism 20 includes a connector 21, a connecting portion 50, a connecting rod 22 connecting the connector 21 and the connecting portion 50, and a locking mechanism 52, which releasably latches onto the connecting rod 22. A handlebar stem 30 connects to the coupling mechanism 20 (e.g., to the connector 21). The wheelset 40 includes a wheel frame 41 and at least one second wheel 42 disposed on the wheel frame 41. The wheel frame 41 is connected to the coupling mechanism 20. When the locking mechanism 52 releases the connecting rod 22, the wheelset 40 can be detached from the coupling mechanism 20. This allows for quick and easy replacement of the wheelset 40 according to different usage needs, for example, in a three-wheeled structure (…). Figure 1 ) and two-wheel structure ( Figure 9 The stability of the vehicle can be adjusted by switching between the two modes, depending on the user's age or skill level.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 50 connects the connecting rod 22 and the wheel frame 41. The connecting portion 50 includes a main body 51, and the locking mechanism 52 is movably disposed on the main body 51. When the locking mechanism 52 releases the connecting rod 22, the wheel assembly 40 can be detached from the connecting rod 22. The vehicle body 10 also includes a tube 13, which has a radially extending flange 14 inside. The connector 21 and the connecting portion 50 are inserted into the tube 13 and located on opposite sides of the flange 14. The connecting rod 22 extends through the flange 14 and beyond the tube 13. In other embodiments, the connecting portion may be part of the connecting rod or the wheel frame (integral or non-integral molded structure), or it may be part of the tube; the tube may also serve as the connecting rod; the locking mechanism may also be disposed on the connector, the grip post, the wheel frame, or the tube.

[0028] In detail, the connector 21 includes a non-circular assembly hole 211, and the connecting part 50 further includes a insertion hole 511. The two ends of the connecting rod 22 are non-circular and are respectively inserted into the assembly hole 211 and the insertion hole 511 without relative rotation. The connecting rod 22 is inserted into the wheel frame 41, improving the overall structural stability. The connector 21 includes an end tube section 212, a seat 213 accommodated in the end tube section 212, and a spring-loaded fastener 214 disposed in the seat 213. The end tube section 212 is inserted into the grip post 30. The grip post 30 includes a positioning hole 31. The spring-loaded fastener 214 protrudes from the end tube section 212 and can be released and snapped into the positioning hole 31, so that the grip post 30 can be quickly connected and disassembled.

[0029] Preferably, the end face of the end tube segment 212 includes at least one notch 215, and the seat 213 includes at least one protrusion 216. The at least one protrusion 216 is received in the at least one notch 215 and is detachably (e.g., by fastener 217) fastened to the end tube segment 212, resulting in a stable structure that is easy to assemble and disassemble. The handlebar post 30 further includes a slot 32 located on the outside of the end tube segment 212, and the scooter further includes a retaining sleeve 33, which fastens the handlebar post 30 to the end tube segment 212, improving the strength of the assembly structure and preventing loosening.

[0030] The connecting rod 22 includes a shoulder 221, and the locking mechanism 52 includes a retaining ring 521. The connecting rod 22 passes through the retaining ring 521, and the retaining ring 521 releasably and axially engages the shoulder 221 to lock the wheel frame 41. Specifically, the wheel frame 41 further includes a receiving hole 411 and a through hole 412 communicating with the receiving hole 411. The locking mechanism 52 further includes an elastic member 522. The main body 51 is accommodated in the receiving hole 411 and includes a side hole 523. The retaining ring 521 is accommodated in the side hole 523. The elastic member 522 springs forward between the main body 51 and the retaining ring 521, so that the retaining ring 521 releasably engages with the through hole 412, ensuring a secure engagement and facilitating quick release. Preferably, the connecting rod 22 is detachably inserted into the connector 21, and at least one fastening member 23 is provided on the connector 21 and secures the connecting rod 22, facilitating manufacturing, assembly, disassembly, and maintenance. The at least one fastening member 23 can also be replaced by a locking mechanism, in which case the wheel assembly 40 and the connecting rod 22 can be detached together. It should be noted that all of the aforementioned locking mechanisms can also be of other types, such as spring-loaded latches, bolts, pins, teeth, retaining rings, or other mechanisms that can provide axial restraint.

[0031] In this embodiment, the vehicle body 10 further includes a first concave-convex structure 15, and the connecting portion 50 further includes a second concave-convex structure 53. The first concave-convex structure 15 and the second concave-convex structure 53 are axially interlocked with each other, and the connecting portion 50 does not rotate relative to the vehicle body 10, ensuring structural and riding stability. However, in cases such as Figure 9 In the two-wheel structure shown, the second concave-convex structure of the connecting part 50 can rotate relative to the first concave-convex structure of the vehicle body 10 within an angular range.

[0032] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and the technical principles applied thereto. For those skilled in the art, any obvious changes such as equivalent transformations or simple substitutions based on the technical solution of the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
