A vehicle having a pair of transversely spaced apart wheels, and a driving unit disposed between such wheels; at least the heat generating parts of the driving unit, such as an engine cylinder, being confined within an area defined by and between the contour of such wheels in profile. With such arrangement, protection of the driving unit, compact construction thereof, and effective utilization of the dead space in the vehicle can be attained.

Motor vehicles

An engine starting device for starting an engine by connecting an output member on the side of a spiral spring and an input member on the side of the engine with each other when the force accumulation by the spring is released. A driving member is driven by the output of the engine. An automatic force accumulating operation for the spiral spring is driven by the driving member. A one-way clutch mechanism connects the automatic force accumulating operation means in a winding pressure accumulating mechanism for the spiral spring with each other.
