Abstract

A two-wheel dynamic balance vehicle comprises two wheels, a vehicle body (1), a middle cabin (3), a steering mechanism, and a control rod (4). The vehicle body (1) is disposed on the two wheels. A pedal is disposed on the vehicle body (1). The middle cabin (3) is disposed right above the pedal. The middle cabin (3) comprises a housing. A display device (2) is disposed on the housing, so as to make human-machine interaction information visible to an operator standing on the pedal. The steering mechanism is accommodated in the housing and comprises a steering shaft (5) and a sensor. The control rod (4) is connected to the steering shaft (5) at the rear end of the vehicle body (1) and extends from the rear end of the vehicle body (1) to a position suitable for leg control of the operator. The control rod (4) is rotated under the control of the operator, so as to drive the steering shaft (5) to rotate to control steering of the vehicle body (1).

Claims

1. A two-wheeled dynamic balance vehicle, comprising:

two wheels;

a vehicle body, provided on the two wheels, a pedal being provided on the vehicle body;

a middle cabin, provided directly above the pedal, the middle cabin comprising a housing, a display device being provided on the housing to enable an operator standing on the pedal to read man-machine interaction information;

a steering mechanism, accommodated in the housing and comprising a steering shaft and a sensor; and

a control rod, the control rod being connected with the steering shaft at a rear end of the vehicle body and extending from the rear end of the vehicle body to a position suitable for leg-control of the operator, the control rod being rotated under control of the operator, thereby driving the steering shaft in rotation, so as to control steering of the vehicle body.

2.
