This vehicle information notification device includes: movable portions which are provided in at least one of a pair of left and right vehicle body outer portions in a vehicle body, steerably supporting a steering system component, to be operated by actuators, wherein the movable portions include outer surfaces which are able to contact a driver's body, and wherein the movable portions notify the driver of predetermined information by operating the outer surfaces in a predetermined motion.

Vehicle information notification device

This vehicle information notification device includes: a pair of left and right grips which are formed on a steering handle; and a vibration device (which is disposed on at least one of the pair of left and right grips to notify a driver of predetermined information, wherein a plurality of the vibration devices are provided on one of the left and right grips. Both of the pair of left and right grips are respectively provided with a plurality of vibration devices.

A battery attaching/detaching structure for a saddle-type vehicle including: a plurality of substantially rectangular parallelepiped batteries for supplying electric power to a power source of the saddle-type vehicle; a battery case in which the batteries are stored; battery-side terminals provided on lower surfaces of the batteries; and case-side terminals engaged with the battery-side terminals, comprises terminal holders that support the case-side terminals such that the case-side terminals are movable between a connected position where the case-side terminals are connected to the battery-side terminals and a retracted position where the case-side terminals are separated from the battery-side terminals. Between the case-side terminals and the terminal holders, springs for urging the case-side terminals in a direction of pressing the battery-side terminals are disposed. Such battery attaching/detaching structure is capable of limiting the movement of a stored battery and maintaining good electrical connection between a battery-side terminal and a case-side terminal.

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.

Sliding of a seat or reclining of a seat back can be disabled, except when a rider intends to slide the seat or recline the seat back. The motion of an auxiliary bar which permits sliding of a seat is inhibited by an interlocking lock member. An operating piece cannot be raised and hence it is impossible to slide the seat. An engine key is inserted into a first lock mechanism and is turned, causing the interlocking lock member to slide up to a position permitting operation of the operating piece. In addition, a lever of a second lock mechanism faces a reclining lever, so that the reclining lever cannot turn clockwise around a rivet bolt and a pawl remains engaged with any of first to third recesses. If the lever of the second lock mechanism is turned, the reclining lever can be pulled to release the reclining locked condition.

Longitudinally slidable seat structure for two- or three-wheeled vehicle

A vehicle having a side cover capable of sending a sufficient amount of cooling air to a radiator even without a front cover or cowling. Side covers are disposed on both right and left side surfaces for covering a radiator. An air admission portion for drawing in a cooling air for cooling the radiator is provided in each of the side covers. A main step is disposed outside of each of the air admission portions with a footpeg portion provided on a top surface thereof and a step portion projecting upwardly at a front end portion thereof. The step portion is substantially at the same position in the fore-aft direction of the vehicle as a front end of the air admission portion. The footpeg surfaces is located near a rear portion of a front wheel with the main step structure ensuring an even more comfortable and easy riding position.
