Abstract
An electric saddled vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a drive-wheel, a drum brake that brakes drive-wheel, and a swing unit that is swingably supported by vehicle body frame. The swing unit includes a drive motor configured separately from drive-wheel and a speed-reducing-mechanism that transmits power from the drive motor to the drive-wheel and has a wheel-drive-portion. The drive motor and speed-reducing-mechanism are arranged on a first-side, the drum brake is arranged on a second-side, and the wheel-drive-portion is arranged so that a distance of the wheel-drive-portion to a first-end-surface of the drive-wheel is shorter than a distance of the wheel-drive-portion to a center of vehicle in the left-right-direction, and a brake drum of the drum brake is arranged at position where the brake drum overlaps a second-end-surface of the drive-wheel in plan view.
