In a vehicle with a load-carrying platform, an elastic band is provided so a rear portion of a tailgate and a rear portion of a bed extender enter a tensioned state. A rotation regulation mechanism is provided to the tailgate and the bed extender that regulates further rotational movement by the tailgate and the bed extender making contact when the tailgate is rotated towards a closed position. The bed extender and the tailgate are prevented from rotating in the same direction by the rotation regulation mechanism, and the load on the elastic band is mitigated.

Vehicle with load-carrying platform

A vehicle having a single seat for a plurality of occupants sitting side by side in a lateral direction of the vehicle. The seat has a front end recessed rearwardly at a center seat portion so as to form a substantially U-shaped recess as viewed in a plan view. The recess is composed of a bottom portion and a pair of left and right side portions extending obliquely in a forward direction from the left and right ends of the bottom portion. At a left corner portion of a right seat portion where the right side portion of the recess intersects the front end of the right seat portion, there is provided a seat grip for gripping by the occupant sitting on the right seat portion. The occupant can easily grip the seat grip with his/her hand in the vicinity of his/her body, thereby obtaining good support for the body.

Seat structure for vehicle

A vehicle includes a cargo area having folding seats and rear doors. The rear doors are provided with a seat stopper on an inner side. The seat stopper presses a seat back plate from above when the door is closed and the seat back plate is folded down to prevent the seat back plate from being lifted.

Vehicle

A battery holder for containing a battery unit is provided above a driving motor body and below a main frame. The battery holder includes a holder body portion, a plate member which is detachable from the holder body portion at a lateral side of a vehicle and by which lateral movement of the battery unit is restrained, and a terminal part which is provided at a rear portion of the holder body portion and is used for connecting a power supply from the battery unit to the driving motor body. The battery unit and the terminal part are detachably connected to each other. A controller fixing part by which a controller for controlling the power supply between the battery unit and the driving motor body is fixed to the vehicle, is provided at a lower portion of the holder body portion.

Electrical unit containing structure for saddle type electric vehicle

In a electric motorcycle including a power unit having a motor whose revolving shaft is oriented in the vehicle width direction, and a centrifugal clutch configured to transmit a rotary drive force of the motor to an output shaft, the centrifugal clutch is arrange coaxially with the motor. A primary driven gear arranged coaxially with the output shaft and configured to transmit a drive force transmitted from the centrifugal clutch to the output shaft is provided. The primary driven gear is arranged so as to be interposed between the centrifugal clutch and the motor in the axial direction of the revolving shaft. A clutch outer is fixed to a clutch outer holder which is relatively rotatable with respect to the revolving shaft, and the primary driven gear is engaged with a primary drive gear formed on the outer periphery of the clutch outer holder.

Electric motorcycle

An accelerator position sensor for detecting accelerator position is provided rearwardly of a head pipe and on the upper side of a main frame. A breaker for cutting off battery power supplied to a controller for performing drive control of a motor unit is provided on the accelerator position sensor. The breaker and the accelerator position sensor are covered with an electrical unit case provided with an opening part. The opening part is provided with a closing member by which the opening part can be opened and closed.
