Abstract
A front cover device for small-sized vehicles having a steering support which supports a front wheel steering mechanism. The front cover device comprises a leg shield member which surrounds the steering support portion and which covers the front and lateral sides of the steering support, and a goods accommodating space which is formed within the leg shield member and around substantially the entire circumference of the steering support. The front cover device is relatively solid and light with substantial design freedom for providing a favorable appearance while providing a relatively large goods accommodating space. The leg shield member includes a lid member which is pivotally secured at the lower end thereof to a front portion of the leg shield member through at least one hinge mechanism. Also, the vehicle includes at least one bumper comprising an elastic member which is mounted so as to cover the hinge mechanism, whereby the bumper comprises a forwardmost projection of the front cover device.
