Abstract
An electric two/three-wheeled vehicle includes: a battery case which houses a battery supplying electric power to an electric motor; a leg shield which covers, from a front, legs of a rider sitting on a riding seat; a cooling air inlet duct which has a downstream end portion thereof connected to the battery case; and a cooling fan which introduces cooling air into the battery case through the cooling air inlet duct. In the electric two/three-wheeled vehicle, an opening () open toward a rear of the vehicle is provided in the leg shield (), and an upstream end of the cooling air inlet duct () is connected to the leg shield () in such a manner as to continue to the opening (). Accordingly, it is possible to cool a battery while preventing entry of dust into a battery case as much as possible.
