a membrane switch, fixed on the first surface of the anti-skid pad body, the membrane switch being configured to electrically connect with an electric drive apparatus of the scooter, and the membrane switch being configured to switch on when receiving external force to trigger the electric drive apparatus to start;
wherein the first surface of the anti-skid pad body has a receiving groove, and the membrane switch is fixed in the receiving groove.

2. The footboard anti-skid pad assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-skid pad body is configured to bond to the footboard portion through an adhesive layer.

3. The footboard anti-skid pad assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the membrane switch is equal to a depth of the receiving groove.

4. The footboard anti-skid pad assembly according to claim 3 , wherein a surface of the membrane switch facing a notch of the receiving groove forms a second surface, an adhesive layer is provided on both the first surface and the second surface, and the adhesive layer is configured to adhesively fix the anti-skid pad body and the membrane switch to footboard portion.

5. The footboard anti-skid pad assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the adhesive layer covers the first surface and the second surface.

6. The footboard anti-skid pad assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane switch is bonded to the anti-skid pad body.

7. The footboard anti-skid pad assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane switch has an electrical connection wire, and the electrical connection wire is configured to extend into the footboard portion to be electrically connected to an electronic control element inside the footboard portion.

8. A scooter, comprising a footboard portion, a drive wheel provided under the footboard portion, and a footboard anti-skid pad assembly installed on the footboard portion, the footboard anti-skid pad assembly comprising:
an anti-skid pad body, the anti-skid pad body having a first surface for being fixedly connected with the footboard portion; and
a membrane switch, fixed on the first surface of the anti-skid pad body, the membrane switch being configured to electrically connect with an electric drive apparatus of the scooter, and the membrane switch being configured to switch on when receiving external force to trigger the electric drive apparatus to start;
wherein the first surface of the anti-skid pad body has a receiving groove, and the membrane switch is fixed in the receiving groove.

9. The scooter according to claim 8 , wherein the anti-skid pad body is configured to bond to the footboard portion through an adhesive layer.

10. The scooter according to claim 8 , wherein a thickness of the membrane switch is equal to a depth of the receiving groove.

11. The scooter according to claim 10 , wherein a surface of the membrane switch facing a notch of the receiving groove forms a second surface, an adhesive layer is provided on both the first surface and the second surface, and the adhesive layer is configured to adhesively fix the anti-skid pad body and the membrane switch to footboard portion.

12. The scooter according to claim 11 , wherein the adhesive layer covers the first surface and the second surface.

13. The scooter according to claim 8 , wherein the membrane switch is bonded to the anti-skid pad body.

14. The scooter according to claim 8 , wherein the membrane switch has an electrical connection wire, and the electrical connection wire is configured to extend into the footboard portion to be electrically connected to an electronic control element inside the footboard portion.

15. The scooter according to claim 8 , wherein the footboard portion has a receiving space inside, an electronic control element is accommodated in the receiving space, the electric drive apparatus is drivingly connected to the drive wheel, and the electronic control element is electrically connected with the membrane switch and the electric drive apparatus.

16. The scooter according to claim 8 , wherein the footboard portion is provided with a through hole, the membrane switch is provided with an electrical connection wire, and the electrical connection wire extends into the footboard portion through the through hole.
