The left and right sides of the two-axle vehicle balance scooter are symmetrical and the components of the right side are not identified with reference numbers in FIG. 1 so as to not obscure the figure.

(8) The figures show that each side (i.e., the left side and right side) of the two axis balancing twist car comprises, among other components, an upper shell 1, a lower shell 15, a pedal 3, and a pressure sensor 6. Pressure sensor 6 is specifically shown in FIG. 1.

(9) The car includes a bracket and wheels 8, the pressing block and shaft 12, chip 16 and a battery pack 18. The bracket includes pedal bracket 4, hardware support 7-14, battery holder and chip support 17-9. The pressure block comprises a wheel pressure block and an axial pressing block 10. Indicating lamp 2 is installed in the shell 1.

(10) Shell 1 from the first is orderly provided with a gasket 5, pedal bracket 4 and 3, pressure sensor installed in the metal stent 7 panel hole, metal stent 7 and shell 1 connection and hardware support is sheathed on the lower end of a spring 11. Wheel pressure block 9 is mounted on wheels 8, wheels 8 mounted hardware outer arm 7. There are two bearings 13 and the bearing 13 by two rotary shaft 12 is mounted at both ends of the battery support 14, the other end of the shaft 12 through the axial compression block 10 and the hardware support 7 is connected to the battery pack 18 is mounted in the battery support the lower end 14, the chip 16 in the chip support 17 is fixed inside the core.
