A vehicle includes a body, a first battery set, a first accessory device, a second battery set, a second accessory device, a load device, and connecting wires. The first battery set is installed in the body and includes at least one first series unit including a predetermined number of battery cells connected in series. The first accessory device is installed in the body and connected to the first battery set. The second battery set is installed in the body and includes at least one second series unit including a predetermined number of battery cells connected in series. The second accessory device is installed in the body and connected to the second battery set. The load device is installed in the body and connected to the first battery set via the first accessory device and to the second battery set via the second accessory device.

In a mobile vehiclehaving a vehicle body, a front wheel, and a rear wheel, the steering control wheelcan be steered by a steering actuatorabout a steering axis Csf which is tilted backward. The steering actuatoris controlled by a control device. The height a, from a ground surface, of the intersection point Ef of the steering axis Csf of the steering control wheeland a virtual straight line connecting the ground contact point of the steering control wheeland the center of axle of the steering control wheelin a basic posture state of the mobile vehicleis set to satisfy a prescribed condition.

A pivot frame is formed as a casting of an aluminum alloy in a substantially U-shaped manner to be open toward a front side. Attaching bosses of a crankcase are placed between a left sidewall and a right sidewall of the pivot frame. Bearing portions of a rear swing arm are coaxially arranged on outer sides of the pivot frame. A pivot bolt is penetrated from one side and is fastened by a nut on the other side. An adjustment collar is interposed between the attaching boss and the right sidewall of the pivot frame. A side of a fixed portion of the adjustment collar is fixed to the right sidewall, and a side of a movable portion of the adjustment collar is pivoted by a tool. The adjustment collar allows the fastening torque of the nut to be constant, thereby preventing deformation from occurring in a fastening operation even when a pivot plate of an aluminum alloy is used.
