Abstract
A wheeled vehicle includes a frame. A power unit powers the vehicle. The frame supports the power unit. A stand body includes a pair of legs that are transversely spaced apart from each other. The stand body moves between an extended position and a retracted position. The stand body supports the frame on the ground in the extended position. A pivot pin extends substantially transversely through a bottom portion of the power unit and a top portion of the stand body to pivotally couple the power unit and the stand body with each other. A bias member biases the stand body toward the extended position and toward the retracted position. The bias member extends between a side portion of the power unit and a lower portion of one of the legs of the stand body. A top of the stand body and a bottom of the power unit contact each other at first portions thereof. The top of the stand body and the bottom of the power unit are spaced apart from each other at second portions thereof. The second portions are arranged closer to the bias member than the first portions.
