Abstract
A drive unit mounting structure for a three-wheeled vehicle which has a rear fork pivotably connected to a vehicle body and supporting thereon a drive unit. In order to suppress hopping movements of the vehicle, front and rear portions of the drive unit are pivotably mounted by front and rear link members on the rear fork. The front link member has a longitudinal axis extending obliquely, when viewed in side elevation, toward a point where a pair of rear wheels drivably coupled to the drive unit contacts the ground. The front and rear link members include rubber mounts for dampening vibrations of the drive unit in operation.
