The present invention relates to an electric kickboard in which an impact absorbing device is installed, and more particularly, to an electric kickboard including an impact absorbing device to support a weight of a user standing up by allowing the impact absorbing device to sufficiently absorb an impact when a seat is vibrated during riding by using elasticity of springs having different spring constants and including a self-power generating drive at one side thereof to produce electricity using vertical vibrations during riding and accumulate the produced electricity, thereby improving an energy efficiency.

A lubrication system of a power assembly of an electric scooter includes a case duct and a bearing seat duct formed in a case of the power assembly, and a driven gear shaft duct formed in a driven gear shaft of a driven gear. Lubricant flows to the case duct, the driven gear shaft duct, a driven gear bearing seat in the case, the bearing seat duct, a driving bearing seat in the case in sequence. The lubrication system has a short flowing distance of the lubricant to enhance the effects of lubrication and reducing temperature.

A clamping mechanism is provided, the clamping mechanism have two clamps, a tensioning conduit corresponding to each of the clamps, and an actuator for simultaneously tensioning the two clamps by way of the tensioning conduits. Each clamp has a bracing element and a gripping segment, and when the clamps are tensioned along the tensioning conduit, the gripping segment of each clamp is drawn towards the corresponding bracing element. Also provided is a bicycle drive assembly, the assembly has two clamps for fixing to a bicycle, a drive mechanism for driving a bicycle wheel, and two elongate supports extending from the drive mechanism to corresponding clamps. When applied to a bicycle, a wheel of the bicycle passes partially between the elongate supports.

The present invention relates to an electric drive system for a bike comprising a portable electric friction drive device (1) and a bike bracket (13) configured to be mounted on a bike. A first drive device attachment point (3) is located at a rear part of the friction drive device.
