Abstract
A throttle valve device of a V-type internal combustion engine, comprising a mechanism for operating a throttle valve independently of an acceleration operation by an acceleration pedal. The mechanism includes a DC motor which is drivingly connected to the throttle shaft to control a slip ratio of a road wheel. The DC motor is located below a throttle chamber of the throttle valve device and arranged such that a drive shaft thereof is parallel with and opposite to a throttle shaft on which the throttle valve is mounted, thereby suppressing the width of the throttle valve device in the direction of the throttle shaft.
