The handlebar cover 22 is arranged above the front cover 21, and covers the handlebar 18. A measuring panel 33, which has a fuel level indicator, a speedometer and the like, is arranged on the top surface of the cover 22 handlebars

The inner fender 23 is arranged under the front cover 21. The inner fender 23 is arranged behind the front wheel 3, and covers the front wheel 3 from behind. A front fender 27 is disposed above the front wheel 3, and covers the upper part of the front wheel 3, as illustrated in Figure 1.

The leg cover 24 is arranged behind the front cover 21 and the inner fender 23, and covers the rear part of the steering tube 11 and the front frame 12. The leg cover 24 is connected to the front part of the stirrup 25. The leg cover 24 extends upwardly from the front part of the stirrup 25. The central part of the leg cover 24 in the transverse direction of the vehicle is formed with a shape protruding backwards to along the steering tube 11 and the front frame 12. Therefore, the lower part of the central part of the leg cover 24 in the transverse direction of the vehicle is formed with an inclined shape such that the lower side thereof is positioned further back than the upper side thereof. A first projection 41 protruding backward is provided in the vertical middle part of the part of the left side of the leg cover 24. The first projection 41 has an upper surface, a rear surface and a lateral surface. The rear surface extends downward from the rear end of the upper surface. The lateral surface is connected to the upper surface and the rear surface, and covers the left side in the transverse direction of the vehicle. The right side of the first shoulder 41 is connected to the aforementioned central part of the leg cover 24. A piece 51 for filling the fuel, which will be described later, is arranged on the upper surface of the first shoulder 41. A second shoulder 42, protruding backwards, it is provided on the upper part of the right side of the leg cover 24. A key cylinder 43 is provided on the upper surface of the second shoulder 42, as illustrated in Figure 3. A key for ignition The engine is inserted inside the key cylinder. The second protrusion 42 is formed above the first protrusion 41.

Stirrup 25 is a part on which a motorist puts his feet. The stirrup 25 is arranged between the front wheel 3 and the rear wheel 4. The stirrup 25 is arranged in front of the seat 5 while it is located lower than the seat 5. The front part of the stirrup 25 is connected to the lower part of the leg cover 24, while the rear part of the stirrup 25 is connected to the lower part of the rear cover 26. A fuel tank 44 for storing fuel is arranged under the stirrup 25, as illustrated in Figure 4. A safety cover 45 of the tank for protecting the fuel tank 44 is mounted below the fuel tank 44.

The rear cover 26, illustrated in Figure 1, is arranged behind the stirrup 25, and is arranged to surround the lower periphery of the seat 5.

The fuel filling part 51 mentioned above is partially exposed to the outside in the first shoulder 41 of the leg cover 24. The fuel filling part 51 is an element having a fuel filling hole 52 for supplying fuel to the tank 44 of fuel, as illustrated in the figure

4. A fuel filler cap 53 for opening and closing the fuel filler hole 52 is attached to the part 51 for fuel filling. The fuel filling part 51 has a closure structure (not shown) to close the fuel filler cap 53 in the closed position. The fuel filler port 52 is an orifice that communicates with an inner fuel filler tube 54. The fuel filling hole 52 is provided on the upper surface of the part 51 for filling the fuel. The fuel filling tube 54 is inserted into a secondary tank 55 disposed below the part 51 for fuel filling. The fuel filler tube 54 and the secondary tank 55 are housed in an interior space surrounded by the front cover 21, the inner fender 23 and the leg cover 24.

The secondary tank 55 and the fuel tank 44 are connected through a fuel conduit 56 made of flexible material (eg, rubber). A container 57 for recovering volatile fuel in the fuel tank 44 or other auxiliary device is placed under the secondary tank 55. In addition, a vent tube (not shown) of the fuel tank 44 and the secondary tank 55 are connected through a vent hose (not shown). The fuel line 56, the container 57, the ventilation hose and other elements are located to the left of the front frame 12. These elements are housed in an interior space surrounded by the front cover 21, the inner fender 23 and the leg cover 24. Alternatively, the secondary tank 55 can be omitted and the fuel filler tube 54 and the fuel tank 44 can be connected through of the fuel line 56.

The fuel filler port 52 is disposed lower than the connecting part X between the steering tube 11 and the front frame 12. The fuel filler port 52 is arranged to the left of the front frame 12 while overlapping the front frame 12 in a side view. The fuel filling hole 52 is disposed higher than the lower support 16. In addition, the fuel filler port 52 is disposed lower than the upper surface of the key cylinder 43 as illustrated in Figure 3.

The upper surface of the part 51 for filling the fuel is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, as illustrated in Figure 1. Therefore, the fuel filling hole 52 is also inclined with respect to a horizontal plane of the same way. An angle A1 of the fuel filling hole 52 with respect to a horizontal plane is smaller than an angle A2 of the upper surface of the key cylinder 43 with respect to a horizontal plane, as illustrated in Figure 3. An axis C3 of the fuel filling hole 52 is inclined with respect to a vertical direction, as illustrated in Figure 5. An angle B1 of the axis C1 of the steering tube 11 with respect to the vertical direction is greater than an angle B2 of the axis C3 of the fuel filling hole 52 with respect to a vertical direction. The term "axis C3 of the fuel filler port 52" indicates the central axis of the fuel filler port 52.

<Features>

In the scooter type vehicle 1, the fuel filling part 51, which has the fuel filler hole 52, is provided in the leg cover 24. Therefore, it is possible to easily supply fuel thereto. The fuel filler port 52 is disposed lower than the connecting part X between the steering tube 11 and the front frame 12. The position of the fuel filler hole 52 is relatively lower than in a conventional vehicle. The front frame 12 extends obliquely downwards and backwards from the steering tube 11. Therefore, the rearward projection of the piece 51 for filling the fuel from the front frame 12 is reduced.

The space for the biker's feet is segmented by the leg cover 24, the seat 5, the rear cover 26 and the footboard 25. Specifically, the front side of the space is delimited by the leg cover 24. The rear part thereof is delimited by the seat 5 and rear cover 26. The lower side of it is bounded by the stirrup

25. Accordingly, the space for the biker's legs will be reduced in conjunction with the rearmost arrangement of the leg cover 24. When the fuel filling part 51 is arranged in the leg cover 24, the leg cover 24 protrudes partially rearward, to the same as the first highlight 41 mentioned above. The leg cover 24 is a cover element for covering the rear part of the front frame 12. Therefore, the rearward projection of the leg cover 24 will increase in conjunction with the increase in the backward protuberance of the fuel supply part 51 from the front frame 12. As a result, the space for the biker's legs will be reduced.

In view of the foregoing, according to the scooter type vehicle 1 of the present embodiment, the part 52 for fuel filling is suitably arranged to reduce the rearward projection of the part 52 for filling the fuel from the frame 12 front, as described above. Therefore, it is possible to inhibit the reduction in the space for the biker's legs.

According to the scooter type vehicle 1, it is easy to supply fuel thereto, and a large space for the biker's legs can be guaranteed, as described above.

In scooter type vehicle 1, the angle A1 of the fuel filling hole 52 with respect to a horizontal plane is smaller than the angle A2 of the upper surface of the key cylinder 43 with respect to a horizontal plane. Therefore, the fuel filler port 52 is oriented in a relatively upward direction. Even if the fuel fill hole 52 is disposed in a lower position, the accessibility of the fuel fill hole 52 is thereby improved and it is easy to deliver fuel therefrom. In addition, the angle A1 of the fuel filler hole 52 with respect to a horizontal plane is adjusted to be small. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the longitudinal length of the internal components including, for example, the secondary tank 55 and the fuel filling tube 54 connected to the part 51 for the fuel filling. In this way it is possible to reduce the rearward projection of the part 51 for filling the fuel.

In scooter type vehicle 1, the angle B1 of the axis C1 of the steering tube 11 with respect to a vertical direction is greater than the angle B2 of the axis C3 of the fuel filler hole 52 with respect to a vertical direction. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the longitudinal length of the internal components including, for example, the secondary tank 55 and the fuel filling tube 54 connected to the part 51 for the fuel filling. In addition, it is possible to reduce the rearward projection of part 51 for fuel filling.

In the scooter type vehicle 1, the fuel filler port 52 is disposed higher than the lower support 16. Therefore, a space can be guaranteed to allow the lower support 16 to pivot. In addition, it is possible to reduce the rearward projection of the part 51 for the fuel filling more than in the case where the fuel filling hole 52 is disposed behind the lower support 16.

As illustrated in Figure 6 (b), the rearward projection of the fuel filling part 51 will increase when the fuel filling hole 52 is disposed in a higher position than in a conventional scooter type vehicle, with the proviso that the forward tilt angle of the front frame 12 is adjusted to be approximately the right angle as described above. As a result, a distance D2 between the seat 5 and the first shoulder 41 is reduced, and the space for the biker's legs will therefore be reduced. However, in the scooter type vehicle 1 of the present embodiment, the fuel filler port 52 is provided in a lower position as described above. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the rearward projection of the part 51 for the filling of fuel as illustrated in Figure 6 (a), even if the forward inclination angle of the front frame 12 is adjusted to be an acute angle as described above. As a result, a large distance D1 between the seat 5 and the first shoulder 41 can be guaranteed. In this way it is possible to inhibit the reduction in the space for the biker's legs.

In addition, the forward tilt angle of the front frame 12 is adjusted to be an acute angle as described above. This makes it possible to arrange approximately the lower end of the front frame 12 in a more forward position than that of a conventional scooter type vehicle in a plan view. Therefore, it is possible to reliably lengthen the longitudinal length of the stirrup 25 while it is possible to inhibit the increase in the longitudinal length of the entire vehicle. As a result, it is possible to guarantee a large space for the biker's legs.

Furthermore, the connecting part X between the steering tube 11 and the front frame 12 is positioned higher than the central position M of the steering tube 11 in the axial direction. This makes it possible to sufficiently guarantee the distance between the front wheel 3 and the stirrup 25. Therefore, a large longitudinal dimension for the stirrup 25 can be guaranteed while extending the wheelbase in the scooter type vehicle 1 can be inhibited. . As a result, it is possible to guarantee a large space for the biker's legs.

<Example modifications>

According to the aforementioned embodiment, the vehicle body frame 2 is composed of separate elements, including the steering tube 11, the front frame 12 and the rear frames 13, 14. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the entire vehicle body frame 2 can be formed jointly. Alternatively, a part of the vehicle body frame 2 can be formed in a caring manner. Still alternatively, each of the components of the vehicle body frame 2 may be composed of a plurality of elements.

According to the aforementioned embodiment, the vehicle body cover 7 includes the front cover 21, the handlebar cover 22, the inner fender 23, the leg cover 24, the stirrup 25, the rear cover 26 and the like. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The vehicle body cover 7 may be composed of a plurality of elements obtained by arbitrarily dividing a single component into parts.

According to the aforementioned embodiment, the stirrup 25 is formed in a flat shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a part of the stirrup 25 may protrude upwardly to arrange the frame and the fuel tank 44 therein. Alternatively, stirrup 25 may be composed of a pair of right and left footrests and an overhanging portion. In this case, the footrests are used to position the biker's feet. The protruding part is interposed between the pair of footrests in the transverse direction of the vehicle body and protrudes upwards.
