Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is an electric vehicle that realizes a light electric straddled vehicle using a motor with a small size, and optimizes the left and right weight balances in the width direction of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle body centerline. The electric motor ( 250 ) is disposed inside a swing arm ( 124 ) of a cantilever type at a position overlapping a projection area of a rear wheel WR when seen from the side portion of the vehicle body. The motor driver ( 216 ) is disposed inside the swing arm ( 124 ) so that the vehicle body centerline (C) passing through at the front side of the vehicle body in the rear wheel (WR). The position (G 2 ) of the center of gravity of the motor driver ( 216 ) is disposed to be offset in the direction opposite to the offset direction of the electric motor ( 250 ) with respect to the vehicle body centerline (C).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electric straddled vehicle comprising: a swing arm which is swingably journaled to a vehicle body frame and rotatably journals a rear wheel; an electric motor which supplies a rotational driving force to said rear wheel; and a motor driver which has a driving circuit of the electric motor in said swing arm, wherein said electric motor is disposed at a position where a rotary shaft of said electric motor is parallel to an axle of said rear whee…
