ABSTRACT:
An improved vibration suppressed bicycle structure includes a frame and a handle set that have ceramic piezoelectric elements located thereon to couple with passive and active control energy consuming mechanisms to convert the vibration energy of the bicycle body into electric energy, which is consumed in heat or gathered for active control use. The invention can absorb vibration energy of the bicycle to enhance structural performance, reduce vibration, and give bicycle riders more comfort over long distance rides and improved maneuverability.
