Abstract
A two-wheeled motor vehicle includes a plurality of batteries arranged between right and left side members extending longitudinally on both sides of the body of the vehicle. A main stand is attached to rear portions of the right and left side members. A main stand mounting structure includes a pair of main stand brackets for mounting the main stand which are secured respectively to the right and left side members. Stays supported by the main stand brackets through shafts extend from both right and left sides of the main stand. The right and left main stand brackets are each independent. The right and left stays extend from the main stand, and pivot shafts of the main stand are made short as right and left independent shafts. Consequently, it is no longer required to provide a long pivot shaft on the frame side, and hence it is possible to reduce the weight of the frame.
