Abstract
A vehicle includes a left front wheel and a right front wheel that tilt together with a body frame, and a rear wheel that tilts together with the body frame, wherein, while a large capacity of a fuel tank is ensured, a variation in the center-of-gravity position while driving is small. When the body frame is in an upright position, the fuel tank is disposed between extensions of the upper axis and lower axis of a linkage mechanism such that the fuel tank is disposed between the center of the area between the center of the area between a right front wheel ground contact portion where the right front wheel comes into contact with the ground, a left front wheel ground contact portion where the left front wheel comes into contact with the ground, and a rear wheel ground contact portion where the rear wheel comes into contact with the ground, and the right and left front wheel ground contact portions; and the center of the area between the center of the area between right front wheel ground contact portion, the left front wheel ground contact portion, and the rear wheel ground contact portion, and the rear wheel ground contact portion.
