In the present embodiment, the members from the fitting member 31 to the rear fork 11 are arranged in this order of the fitting member 41, the elastic member 61, the positioning member 62, and the rear fork 11. In other embodiments, the components can be arranged in sequence of a rear fork, a sleeve, an elastic piece and a positioning piece.
The pedal assembly 4 of the electric scooter can rotate around the axis of the rear wheel shaft 30, feet of a user pedal on the pedal assembly 4, when the gravity center of the user tilts forwards or backwards in a self-balancing control mode, the pedal assembly 4 rotates relative to the rear wheel shaft 30 according to the change of the gravity center of the user, the body sensor 5 stands on the pedal assembly according to the posture change information of the user, and the control system calculates and then sends forward, backward, acceleration and deceleration instructions to the hub motor of the rear wheel 3. In addition, the pedal assembly 4 is rotated by a certain angle under the driving of the user, and the elastic piece 61 is twisted to deform the elastic piece 61, when the rotating force of the user rotating the pedal assembly 4 is eliminated, the elastic piece 61 is restored to the original state through stress and drives the pedal assembly 4 to restore to the original position under the condition that the rotating force of the pedal assembly 4 is not received. Of course, the user can also tread on the cross beam 12 with one foot and tread on the pedal assembly 4 with the other foot, or the user only steps on the pedal assembly 4 with one foot and the other foot is suspended, so long as the pedal assembly 4 can rotate relative to the rear axle 30, the self-balancing control mode of the electric scooter can be realized.
In the present embodiment, the rear wheel 3 is a hub motor wheel and serves as a power wheel, and the motion sensor 5 can control the rotation of the rear wheel 3, thereby realizing a self-balancing control mode controlled by the posture change of the body center of gravity of the user. In other embodiments, the front wheel 2 may be a wheel hub motor wheel and be used as a power wheel, and the motion sensor may operate the wheel hub motor of the front wheel, so as to achieve a self-balancing operation mode of the electric scooter. In addition, in the case that only the front wheel is the hub motor wheel, only the rear wheel is the hub motor wheel, and both the front wheel and the rear wheel are the hub motor wheels, the user can also connect and operate the hub motor wheel only through the operation switch 10 on the grab rail 16, so as to realize the non-self-balancing operation mode of the electric scooter. When the electric scooter is operated in the self-balancing operation mode or the non-self-balancing operation mode, both the front wheel 2 and the rear wheel 3 are in contact with the ground. The electric scooter has a self-balancing control mode and a non-self-balancing control mode, and the two control modes can also be applied to other electric vehicles with front wheels and rear wheels.
In this embodiment, the pedal assembly 4 provided with the self-balancing control system is disposed above the rear wheel, the pedal assembly 4 can rotate relative to the rear wheel axle, and the movement of the electric scooter is realized through the posture change of the body of the user. Of course, in other embodiments, the pedal assembly with the body sensor may also be disposed on the main beam of the frame, and the user may rotate relative to the main beam when stepping on the pedal assembly, so as not to affect the self-balancing control system to detect the body posture change of the user, and still realize the self-balancing control mode of the electric scooter.
The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the spirit and scope of the present invention, and those skilled in the art should not be able to make any changes or modifications to the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the design concept of the present invention.
