In this case, the rider may drive the kick scooter by pushing a road surface with one foot while the other foot remains on the foot deck so that the one foot is directed forward from the foot deck.
- In the related art, in addition to a kick scooter having a board, a handle, and wheels, an electric kick scooter, which is additionally equipped with a power device such as a motor, is used. The electric kick scooter in the related art may travel with electricity by using a motor which is rotated by electric power supplied from a battery.
- However, the electric kick scooter in the related art has no a suspension system such as an air spring, which is also called an air suspension, between the foot deck and the wheel, and as a result, when the electric kick scooter passes an uneven road surface, impact occurring due to the uneven road surface is transmitted to the rider of the electric kick scooter, which causes the rider a discomfort while the rider rides the electric kick scooter.
- Furthermore, the electric kick scooter in the related art hardly provides various traveling environments to the rider because it is difficult to adjust a height of a ground clearance, and the electric kick scooter in the related art causes structural inconvenience because the electric kick scooter inevitably has a standing device for parking the electric kick scooter after driving the electric kick scooter.
- A technical object, which is to be achieved by the present invention, is to provide an electric kick scooter which switches a direction in which impact occurring due to an uneven road surface, when the electric kick scooter passes the uneven road surface, is transmitted, such that the impact is transmitted in a direction diagonal to the road surface from a direction perpendicular to the road surface.

third links 420 is formed to be curved based on acenter portion 421 as a vertex at both ends where afirst edge 422 and asecond edge 423 are positioned. That is, to ensure a rotation angle of thethird link 420, thethird link 420 has a shape such that thefirst edge 422 and thesecond edge 423 define an included angle less than 180 degrees based on thecenter portion 421. In addition, thethird link 420 is fastened to the other side of thethird support piece 410 through thefirst edge 422. - The
fourth link 430 connects with thethird links 420 as one side of thefourth link 430 is fastened to thecenter portions 421. That is, thefourth link 430 transmits rotational force of thethird links 420 to therear wheel 502. - The
second air spring 440 is positioned such that one side of thesecond air spring 440, which is directed toward the rear side of theelectric kick scooter 10, is inclined upward at a predetermined angle. In addition, a volume in thesecond air spring 440 varies depending on the pneumatic pressure supplied from the air compressor, thereby pushing thesecond edges 423 upward toward an upper side of the second connectingunit 400 or pulling thesecond edges 423 toward a lower side of the second connectingunit 400 based on thecenter portions 421. That is, a length of thesecond air spring 440 is adjusted in accordance with the pneumatic pressure, such that the ground clearance of thefoot deck 300 as well as the interval between thefoot deck 300 and therear wheel 502 may be adjusted by using thethird links 420. Thesecond air spring 440 is, for example, a spring that uses elasticity of compressed air accommodated in a container (bellows) made of rubber, and thesecond air spring 440 may repeatedly contract and expand in response to external force. - One side of the
stabilizer 450 is connected to thethird link 420 by being fastened to the other side of thefourth link 430. - An upper portion at one side of the
wheel casing 460 is coupled to the other side of thestabilizer 450, and therear wheel 502 is fastened in an internal space of thewheel casing 460. In addition, as the volume in thesecond air spring 440 varies, one side of thewheel casing 460 moves upward while pushing therear wheel 502 toward the rear side of theelectric kick scooter 10 or one side of thewheel casing 460 moves downward while pulling therear wheel 502 toward the front side of theelectric kick scooter 10. - One side of the
fourth support pieces 470 is connected to the other side of thefoot deck 300, and the other side of thefourth support pieces 470 is connected to a lower portion at one side of thewheel casing 460. In addition, as the volume in thesecond air spring 440 varies, thefourth support pieces 470 push thefoot deck 300 upward or pull thefoot deck 300. - Further, the two
third support pieces 410, the twothird links 420, the twostabilizers 450, and the twofourth support pieces 470 may be provided outside the second connectingunit 400 based on thesecond air spring 440 so that thesecond air spring 440 is positioned inside the second connectingunit 400. - A state in which the
