Abstract
An electric motorcycle is provided such that even if a power drive unit is mounted to a swing arm, it is difficult for a load to be applied to wiring connected to the power drive unit. In an electric motorcycle in which a PDU and a running-purpose power-generating motor are attached to a swing arm turning around a pivot shaft, and electricity from batteries is supplied via a contactor box to the PDU, from which the electricity is supplied to a power-generating motor, torsional portions extending generally parallel to the pivot shaft are provided at a portion of output lines connecting the contactor box with the PDU so as to allow torsion to absorb swinging movement of the swing arm.
