Abstract
A recharging system for a rechargeable battery () of an inverted pendulum type vehicle () comprises a stand () for holding the vehicle in a substantially upright posture by using a supporting member () that engages a prescribed part of the vehicle, a power feed device () is provided on the stand, and a power take device () provided on the vehicle. The power take device is positioned so as to couple with the power feed device when the prescribed part of the vehicle is engaged by the supporting member of the stand. The stand allows the vehicle to be placed in an upright posture simply leaning the vehicle against a part of the supporting member, and the electric connection between the rechargeable battery of the vehicle and the power source can be established at the same time without requiring any extra effort.
