Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to light vehicles such as two-wheeled, three-wheeled, and four-wheeled vehicles.

Attempts have been made to disguise the interior of a light vehicle such as a two-wheeled, three-wheeled, or four-wheeled vehicle, but in all cases, the interior is integrated with the vehicle body frame, or the interior is constructed so that it can be freely disassembled. First, no consideration is given to the workability of attaching and detaching the vehicle interior forming member, the storage space for the member, and the like.

Therefore, even if the vehicle interior forming member could be removed and attached, there is no space in the vehicle to store it, and the vehicle must be driven with the member attached or removed, and if the vehicle is out in the rain or If the vehicle is damaged, there are inconveniences such as not being able to attach the cabin forming members, and this detracts from the advantages of light vehicles such as light weight, small size, compactness, and ease of transportation and handling. It is.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a light vehicle in which a member for forming a passenger compartment can be attached and detached anytime and anywhere. The purpose is to further expand practicality.

In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a front cover that stands upright in front of a driver's seat equipped with a handle, a front windshield that is removably attached to the upper edge of the front cover, and a rear panel that is installed behind the driver's seat.
