Abstract

To reduce load on an electric motor for power assist included in a motor-driven power steering apparatus. The present invention includes: side protrusion portions secured to an input shaft; an upward protruding tab as a first stopper secured to a vehicle body at a position corresponding to the side protrusion portions, the upward protruding tab for restricting a swing range of the side protrusion portions; side protrusion portions secured to an output shaft; and a downward protrusion portion as a second stopper secured to the vehicle body at a position corresponding to the side protrusion portions, the downward protrusion portion for restricting a swing range of the side protrusion portions.

Claims (5)

1. All terrain vehicle having an input shaft disposed on the side of a handlebar and an output shaft disposed on the side of left and right wheels, the input shaft and the output shaft being connected together via a motor-driven power steering apparatus, and driving a power assist motor included in the motor-driven power steering apparatus in accordance with a relative rotational angle in the input shaft and the output shaft, having its character by comprising:
a first lock member secured to the input shaft; a first stopper secured to a vehicle body at a position corresponding to the first lock member, the first stopper for restricting a swing range of the first lock member; a second lock member secured to the output shaft; and a second stopper secured to the vehicle body at a position corresponding to the second lock member, the second stopper for restricting a swing range of the second lock member.
2. The all terrain vehicle according to claim 1, wherein: the first stopper and the second stopper make a rotational range of the input shaft equivalent to a rotational range of the output shaft.
3. The all terrain vehicle according to claim 1 or 2, wherein:
the input shaft and the output shaft are connected via a torsion bar.
4. The all terrain vehicle according to claim 1, 2, or 3, wherein:
the second lock member is disposed on a center arm that is mounted on the output shaft and connected to right and left tie rods for steering the right and left wheels.
5. The all terrain vehicle according to claim 3 or 4, wherein:
the first lock member is disposed upward of a bearing portion of the input shaft and the second lock member is disposed downward of a bearing portion of the output shaft.
