Foldable electric scooter and manufacture method of the same
The present application relates to the field of electric scooter, and more particularly to a foldable electric scooter and a manufacture method of the same. Electric scooter 10 includes front wheel assembly 20 , front fork assembly 30 , headset assembly 50 , handlebar assembly 60 , throttle controller 70 , gooseneck assembly 80 , main body assembly 90 , standing platform 100 , drive train assembly 110 , and rear wheel assembly 120 . One purpose of the present application is to provide an electric scooter that has a flexible design, whose rear tire revolves inwardly and handlebar assembly collapses to minimize the whole volume of the electric scooter for facilitating transportation and storage. Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing the electric scooter.
1. A manufacturing method of an electric scooter, comprising:
cutting two-dimensional scooter parts;
assembling the two-dimensional scooter parts into a three-dimensional electric scooter;
wherein the electric scooter includes
a front wheel assembly,
a front fork assembly,
a headset assembly,
a handlebar assembly,
a throttle controller,
a gooseneck assembly,
a main body assembly,
a standing platform,
a drive train assembly,
a rear fork assembly; and
a rear wheel assembly;
wherein
the front wheel assembly is mounted on the front fork assembly;
the front fork assembly is connected to the headset assembly pivotably;
the handlebar assembly is connected to the headset assembly pivotably;
the throttle controller is mounted on the handlebar assembly;
the gooseneck assembly is mounted on the headset assembly;
the main body assembly is connected to the gooseneck assembly;
the standing platform is mounted on the main body assembly;
the rear wheel assembly is connected to the main body assembly;
the drive train assembly is connected to the rear fork assembly;
the rear fork assembly supports the rear wheel assembly;
wherein the handlebar assembly further includes
a first handle,
a second handle,
a first segment, and
a second segment;
wherein
the first segment is sleeved into the second segment, such that the first segment collapses into the second segment;
the first handle is provided on a left side of the handlebar assembly and the second handle is provided on a right side of the handlebar assembly and the first handle and the second handle collapse in a first plane forming a collapsed handlebar assembly;
the collapsed second segment has a central axis and revolves 90 degrees about the central axis, such that the first handle and the second handle are in a second plane which is perpendicular to the first plane; and
the collapsed handlebar assembly pivots sideways towards the gooseneck assembly
wherein the front fork assembly pivots about a first point towards the gooseneck assembly;
the gooseneck assembly further includes a cavity accommodating the front wheel assembly; and
the gooseneck assembly pivots about a second point towards the main body assembly along a first direction.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein material of a wheel spacer plate, an inner wheel plate, and an outer wheel plate is selected from the group consisting of plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, carbon fiber, paper, metal, and ceramics.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of cutting two-dimensional scooter parts is performed by a water jet.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of cutting two-dimensional scooter parts is performed by a Laser cutter.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the water jet uses an ultra-high water pressure of 30,000 to 90,000 psi.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein two-dimensional scooter parts are nesting in one piece of flat raw material.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the rear wheel assembly pivots about a third point towards the main body assembly along a second direction; and
the main body assembly further includes a hollow portion accommodating the rear wheel assembly.
