Abstract
A damping mechanism and a vehicle are provided. The damping mechanism includes: a spindle; an elastic cushion assembly used to couple the spindle and the vehicle body; a coupling arm having a first end used to be fixedly coupled to an axle of the wheel and a second end pivotally coupled to the spindle; and a locking assembly provided between the coupling arm and the spindle and used to switch the coupling arm and the spindle between at least two locking states and a unlocking state. In the unlocking state, the coupling arm is rotatable, and in the locking states, the coupling arm is locked; in each of the locking states, the coupling arm is in different locking positions relative to the spindle; and when the coupling arm is in different locking positions, the coupling arm is at different angles to a horizontal plane.
