Suspension apparatus for scooter utilizing offset frame with torsion shock absorber

摘要

A motor powered scooter for supporting a standing rider has an improved torsion acting shock absorbing mount for the cantilevered shock absorbing support of at least one of the scooter wheels from the frame. At least one torsion acting shock absorber is utilized. In a preferred embodiment, the torsion acting shock absorber includes a square sectioned metal tube, a correspondingly square sectioned metal shaft, and confined compressible rubber rods acting there between. The torsion acting shock absorber is attached at right angles to the main structural tube and protrudes at an end to one side of the main structural tube. A cantilevered wheel support is mounted offset from the main structural tube at the end of the shock absorber remote from the main structural tube. A shock absorbing suspension is disclosed for both the front steered wheel and the rear driven wheel.
