Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed is an electric motorcycle provided with: an electric motor (M) for driving a rear wheel ( 110 ) which is a drive wheel; a battery (B) for supplying power to the electric motor (M); and a controller unit ( 130 ) for performing drive control of the electric motor (M). The electric motorcycle is of the scooter type in which a footrest section is constructed between the front wheel ( 105 ) and the rear wheel ( 110 ), and is provided with a controller housing compartment ( 129 ) disposed in the footrest section so as to be downwardly recessed. An opening ( 131 ) is formed in the bottom of the controller housing compartment ( 129 ), and a cooling fin ( 130 c ) is provided in the bottom surface of the controller unit ( 130 ) in a state in which the cooling fin ( 130 c ) is housed in the controller housing compartment ( 129 ) and downwardly protrudes from the opening ( 131 ) to face the outside. As a result, the controller unit ( 130 ) is directly and efficiently cooled by airflow produced during travel.
