Title:
STEERING DEVICE OF SMALL-SIZED ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/058029
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A steering device of a small-sized electric vehicle, wherein a rotating plate (112) is connected to a support member (110) integrally joined to a steering handle (3) and disposed forward of a grip through a pivot shaft (131) approximately parallel with the grip so that the rotating plate (112) can be rotated between a lower side non-operating position and an upper side braking position (B) about its rear end side. A separate return spring energizing the rotating plate (112) toward the non-operating position with a set load larger than that of the return spring (112) of an accelerator lever (114) is connected to the rotating plate. The rotating plate (112) is rotated to the braking position (B) side when the operating part (114b) of an accelerator lever (114) is strongly pulled to a grip side of the steering handle to operate a brake switch (134) for braking the vehicle. As a result, when the accelerator lever is strongly pulled to the grip side of the steering handle, the steering device can always be securely operated to operate the stopping device of the vehicle.
