Abstract

The present invention discloses an electric folding vehicle, including a front wheel frame, a first vehicle frame, a second vehicle frame, a chair frame, and a linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism includes a first linkage rod with a first end rotatably connected to the front wheel frame and a second end rotatably connected to the second vehicle frame, and a second linkage rod with a first end rotatably connected to the second end of the first linkage rod and a second end connected to the chair frame. By providing a linkage mechanism, when the first vehicle frame and the second vehicle frame are folded and collapsed, the present invention can drive the front wheel frame to fold synchronously with the chair frame, so as to achieve rapid folding and collapsing of the electric folding vehicle, and make the electric folding vehicle more convenient to carry.

Claims (11)
