Abstract
A vehicle includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, an electric driving motor, which is designed to drive the rear and/or front wheel, and several electric storage units, which are accommodated inside a storage housing. The storage housing has at least one air duct for discharging thermal energy of the storage units. The air duct extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at least in one air inflow region and is arranged such that, in an operating state of the vehicle, ambient air flows into the air duct by way of head wind so as to discharge the thermal energy.
