Patent number: 8936129Abstract: 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 (G2) 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).Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2010Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koichiro Honda, Hideaki Nakagawa, Masahide Mimura, Hiroshi Iwakami, Kazuo Sato, Keiichiro Niizuma

Patent number: 8820461Abstract: An electric vehicle can include a pair of left and right rear wheels configured to be driven by the rotary driving power of a motor supplied with electric power from a battery. A rear body can support the motor and rear wheels, and is attached at the back of a body frame. A battery box houses at least the battery, and is supported by a battery box supporting frame joined to the body frame below a seat of the vehicle. A monitoring board monitors the state of the battery, and can be located on top of the battery. A BMU collects information from the monitoring board, and a contactor opens and closes the connection between the battery and a drive circuit for the motor. The BMU and the contactor are housed in the battery box and in front of the battery.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuo Shinde, Koichiro Honda, Kazunori Kuroda
