Abstract
A motorcycle equipped with an enclosed battery having a closed structure, is characterized by installing the enclosed battery in a manner that a side face of a battery case makes an angle with a vertical direction of a body frame of the motorcycle. With this arrangement of the enclosed battery, it becomes possible to reduce the space for housing the battery or to utilize a so-called dead space, thereby reducing the size or the width of a body frame and improving the functional structure of the motorcycle.
