Electric vehicle
DCFirst Claim
1. An electric vehicle, comprising:
- a first platform;
a second platform;
a rotation mechanism disposed between the first platform and connecting the second platform, allowing the first platform and the second platform to rotate relative to each other;
two wheels rotatably fixed at two opposite sides of the first platform and the second platform, respectively;
two motors configured to drive the two wheels, respectively;
a plurality of sensors;
a power supply;
a controller electrically connected with the plurality of sensors, the power supply, and the two motors;
wherein the controller is configured to control the two motors to drive the two wheels using power from the power supply and based on signals from the plurality of sensors; and
a limiting mechanism configured to limit an overlarge relative rotation angle between the first platform and the second platform;
wherein the limiting mechanism is disposed between the first platform and the second platform.

Abstract
An electric self-balancing vehicle including a top cover, a bottom cover, an inner cover, a rotating mechanism, two wheels, two hub motors, a plurality of sensors, a power supply, and a controller is described herein. The top cover includes a first top cover and a second top cover disposed symmetrically and rotatable relative to each other. The bottom cover is fixed to the top cover and includes a first bottom cover and a second bottom cover disposed symmetrically and rotatable relative to each other. The inner cover is fixed between the top cover and the bottom cover and includes a first inner cover and a second inner cover disposed symmetrically and rotatable relative to each other. The rotating mechanism is fixed between the first inner cover and the second inner cover. The two wheels are rotatably fixed at two sides of the inner cover, respectively. The two hub motors are fixed in the two wheels, respectively. The plurality of sensors is disposed between the bottom cover and the inner cover, respectively. The power supply is fixed between the first bottom cover and the first inner cover. The controller is fixed between the second bottom cover and the second inner cover, the controller is electrically connected with the plurality of sensors, the power supply, and the hub motors, and the controller controls the hub motors to drive the corresponding wheels to rotate according to sensing signals transmitted by the sensors.
