A corrosion-resistant electric motor casing comprises a substantially cylindrical yoke and barrel, and a pair of brackets fixed to and closing the axially opposite ends of the yoke and barrel. The yoke and barrel comprises a first member substantially in the form of a hollow cylinder made of a material which is sufficiently ferromagnetic to serve as a motor yoke, and a second member in the form of a pipe of aluminmum fitted over the first member and covering the outer peripheral surface thereof. The motor casing is made highly resistant to corrosion without involving an increase in the weight and cost thereof.

Corrosion-resistant motor casing

A telescopic front suspension including a bottom case (9; 31; 83; 111; 151) supporting a front wheel of a vehicle, and a fork pipe (8; 32; 84; 112; 152) slidably fitted in the bottom case. The telescopic front suspension has a restriction mechanism (18a; 19; 47, 48, 70, 71, 135, 136; 178, 179) for restricting, at a predetermined degree of contraction between the bottom case and the fork pipe, the relative expansion between the bottom case and the fork pipe.
