Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a step for a passenger on a scooter that is more convenient to use and can be folded up for better appearance when not in use.

In a scooter, the front side of the driver's seat is lowered low and a step floor is provided for the driver's seat, and the driver places his feet on this step floor when driving. The driver's seat is a long seat, and a passenger can sit at the rear, with the passenger's legs stretched out to the rear of the driver's step floor. However, the step floor wraps around the side of the engine compartment and extends slightly to the rear, making it difficult for a larger passenger to reach their feet, but for a smaller female passenger, her feet would be unable to reach the floor, resulting in an awkward riding posture. It becomes stable.

This idea is an improvement based on these points.
Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

A notch 2 is provided at the rear end of a step floor 1 for a driver's seat of a scooter. Passenger step 3 is
A support shaft 4 is provided protruding from the front. The support shaft 4 is inserted into a shaft cylinder 5 provided on the front side of the notch 2 of the step floor 1, and is supported so that it can rotate 180 degrees and slide in the axial direction (back and forth direction).

Therefore, when there is no passenger, the passenger step 3 can be folded inward and stored in the notches 2 at the rear ends of both sides of the driver's step floor 1. It looks like a series and doesn't stand out, and it looks good and doesn't get in the way. When there is a fellow passenger, the step 3 for the fellow passenger is turned outward and expanded, and the support shaft 4 is further slid rearward and pulled out. In this way, the passenger step 3 will be close to the passenger's riding position, allowing him or her to place his or her feet comfortably.
The rider's posture is stable and safe because there is more leg room and the pedals are more effective.

As explained above, this invention has support shafts extending forward from the passenger step on the left and right of the rear end of the driver's step floor, which are rotatable by 180 degrees and slidable in the front and rear directions. The driver's step floor can be folded into the notches on both sides of the rear end, and it can also be rotated outward and pulled out to the rear, so when no passenger is present, the driver's step floor can be folded into the notches on both sides of the rear end. When folded into a notch, the step for the passenger can be seen as a continuous line with the step floor, giving it a good appearance and not getting in the way. When there is a passenger, it can be expanded outward and moved to the rear, so you can be closer to the passenger.
Not only can you place your feet comfortably, but the extra foot space allows you to step on your feet effectively, making your riding position stable and safe.
