AI Technical Summary
Existing electric scooters face issues with wear and maintenance due to high leverage forces and vibrations affecting the locking mechanism of the swivel mechanism, leading to loose locking positions and handling uncertainties.
A scooter design with a swivel arm spaced apart from the axis, featuring a toothed ring and gears on a rotatable shaft driven by an electric motor or crank, which reduces wear and simplifies the folding mechanism through a gearbox and self-locking worm gear mechanism.
The design ensures smooth swiveling, reduces wear, maintains secure end positions, enhances theft protection, and minimizes maintenance by preventing loose locking positions and improving handling safety.
