  • Publication number: 20220185417
    Abstract: A scooter features a rear frame with a rear wheelset and a seat and a front frame with a front wheelset and an upright scooter head rod. A telescopic connection frame is installed between the frames with operating mode and folding mode. A bracing plate assembly has front and rear plate bodies disposed on the telescopic connection frame. The front plate body is pivotally connected to the front frame to form a toggle part, and the rear plate body is pivotally connected to the rear frame. The plate bodies are provided with first and second underpropping parts respectively. The height of the toggle part downwards abutting on the bearer part is sufficient for the underpropping parts to abut each other, and the included angle between the top surfaces of the plate bodies is smaller than 180°, so that the zigzag state between the plate bodies is temporarily locked.

  • Publication number: 20080199771
    Abstract: The improved battery positioning structure of an electric vehicle includes a flexible pull handle, being mounted at one side of a battery and forming a handle portion and at least one snapping portion. The snapping portion can protrude from the hole at one side of the battery and is recessed if the handle portion is pulled upwards. A positioning groove is placed onto a side wall of the chamber and is used for positioning of the snapping portions. When the battery is removed, the handle portion of the flexible pull handle is pulled to enable the snapping portions to be disengaged from the positioning groove, thus releasing the battery. The batter can be quickly lifted via the handle portion. When the battery is returned to be positioned in the chamber, the handle portion is pressed to enable the snapping portions to be fixed securely into the positioning groove. Thus, the battery of the electric vehicle can be removed and positioned more simply, quickly and conveniently.
