Then, the two connecting strips 4 are moved to the left along the long groove 3 to the extreme position. Next, the support rod 5 drives the grooves 503 to deflect and reset, so that the two T-shaped blocks 701 open to the front and back sides, and the two horizontal blocks on the opposite side of the T-shaped blocks 701 move to the inside of the two rightmost slots 401, thus completing the folding and fixing of the electric vehicle, reducing the height of the electric vehicle after folding, and making it easier to fit into the trunk of a smaller vehicle. By rotating the groove 503 with the support rod 5, the side of the groove 503 moves to a position where the two horizontal bars on the opposite side of the T-shaped block 701 are in contact. At this point, the fixing between the frame assembly 1 and the connecting strip 4 is released. Then, the length of the connecting strip 4 on the side of the frame assembly 1 is adjusted according to the user's height, so that the frame assembly 1 and the connecting strip 4 are moved to a comfortable riding length for the user. Next, the groove 503 is rotated again with the support rod 5, and the side of the support rod 5 contacts the side of the T-shaped block 701, so that the two horizontal bars on the opposite side of the two T-shaped blocks 701 move into the appropriate slot 401. The adjusted electric vehicle frame can then be quickly fixed, making it convenient for users of different heights to ride comfortably.
