  • Patent number: 8418795
    Abstract: In a saddle-ride electric vehicle equipped with an electric motor generating power for rotatively driving a rear wheel, a main battery supplying electric power to the electric motor is disposed in a first space S1 that is surrounded by a down frame connected to a head pipe or a front end portion of a main frame and extending downward, a pivot frame connected to the rear end portion of the main frame and extending downward, and the main frame, and a sub-battery that can supply electric power to the electric motor instead of the main battery is disposed in a second space S2 surrounded by seat rails connected to the rear portion of the main frame to support an occupant seat and the main frame. The electric motor is disposed at a position different from the first and second spaces S1 and S2.

  • Patent number: 8376075
    Abstract: To dispose a large battery in a saddle-ride electric vehicle equipped with a head pipe steerably supporting a front fork with the front wheel journaled to a lower end portion and a steering handlebar, a main frame extending downward and rearward from the head pipe, and an electric motor generating power for rotatively driving a rear wheel. The battery supplying electric power to an electric motor is disposed in a space S1 that is surrounded by a down frame connected to the head pipe or a front end portion of the main frame 14 and extending downward, a pivot frame connected to the rear end portion of the main frame and extending downward, and the main frame. The electric motor is disposed on a side of the rear wheel rather than in the space S1.

  • Patent number: 7971673
    Abstract: A saddle-ride type electric vehicle includes an electric motor for generates power for rotationally driving a rear wheel. Foot rests are provided for an occupant seated on an occupant seat. A battery is disposed in a space S surrounded by a down frame which is coupled to a head pipe or to a front end of a main frame and which extends downwardly, pivot frames, and the main frame. Steps disposed to both sides of the battery in planar view are provided to front ends of a pair of left and right step frames coupled to lower portion of the pivot frames, the step frames extending forward and overlapping a rear portion of the battery in planar view. The battery is wider in an area adjacent to the head pipe as compared to the width of the battery in an area adjacent to the steps.
