The inserted space is configured for the upper tube to be movably disposed therein. The wire passage is located at one side of the inserted space and is configured to receive at least one wire.

Claims (19)

1. A bicycle seat post structure, comprising:

an upper tube; and

a lower tube, comprising:

an inserted space configured for the upper tube to be movably disposed therein; and

a wire passage located at one side of the inserted space and configured to receive at least one wire;

wherein the lower tube has a first central axis, the inserted space has a second central axis, and the first central axis and the second central axis are not co-axial.

2. The bicycle seat post structure of claim 1 , further comprising:

a height adjusting mechanism disposed inside the upper tube and the lower tube, the height adjusting mechanism comprising an actuating bar;

a driving set configured to push the actuating bar; and

a controlling set configured to control an operation of the driving set and comprising:

a signal receiving terminal electrically connected to the driving set via the at least one wire.

3. The bicycle seat post structure of claim 1 , further comprising:

a height adjusting mechanism disposed inside the upper tube and the lower tube, the height adjusting mechanism comprising an actuating bar;

a driving set configured to push the actuating bar; and

a controlling set connected to the driving set via the at least one wire so as to control an operation of the driving set.

4. The bicycle seat post structure of claim 1 , wherein the wire passage has a third central axis, and the first central axis, the second central axis and the third central axis are coplanar but not co-axial.

5. The bicycle seat post structure of claim 1 , wherein the wire passage is radially communicated to the inserted space.

6. The bicycle seat post structure of claim 1 , wherein the lower tube further comprises a long opening, the long opening is disposed at an outer surface of the lower tube along a direction of the first central axis, and the long opening is communicated with the wire passage such that the wire passage is exposed therefrom.

7. The bicycle seat post structure of claim 1 , wherein the lower tube further comprises a partition, and the partition extends along a direction of the first central axis to separate the inserted space and the wire passage.
