時、足を乗せる場合がある。The vehicle shown in FIG. 5 has two front and rear wheels a and b, and has a structure in which the front two wheels a are steered by a tiller handle c, and a battery e is provided under a seat (seat) d in the latter half of the vehicle body. It will be installed. Using this battery e as a power source, rear wheel b
Are driven by a motor (not shown). Further, the front half of the vehicle body is a flat floor g on which the passengers can get their feet. The fender h covering the upper part of the front wheel a is located at the front of the floor g, and the passenger may temporarily put his foot on the fender h.

る。However, when the tread is narrow in the electric four-wheeled vehicle, the width of the floor is also narrowed, and although this type does not cause the occupant to get on and off, the stability of the vehicle is increased. When the width of the tread is widened, the floor g is widened, so that the distance between the seat and the foot becomes longer when the occupant tries to get on or off the vehicle. As a result, it is difficult for the occupants to get in and out of the vehicle because of poor foot contact, which causes inconvenience. Further, the fender h above the front wheel a may be put on the foot by an occupant, and therefore, there is a demand to increase the rigidity and prevent the bend or the like.

Can be approached. In other words, when getting on the vehicle, it is easy to sit down while keeping the foot on the ground, and when getting off the vehicle, the ability to reach the foot is improved. Further, the maximum width Tf of the vehicle body on the front wheel side is narrower than the maximum width Tr of the vehicle body on the rear wheel side (Tf <Tr). Therefore, the rear body B at the rear portion of the vehicle body on which the battery and the motor are mounted is replaced by the front body A at the front portion of the vehicle body. Can be bigger than .

s≈Tc). Therefore, when the occupant rides on the electric four-wheeled vehicle and aligns the feet, the feet can be placed on the floor 22. That is, if the width of the seat 14 is made narrower than this, it is difficult to place the foot on the floor 22, and if the width is wider than this, the foot contact property deteriorates. Therefore, it is preferable that the width Tc of the narrow portion substantially coincides with the seat width Ts. .

Therefore, if the feet are aligned in the riding state, the feet can be placed on the floor. . That is, if the seat width is made narrower than this, the feet are more likely to come out of the floor, and if it is wider than this, the foot contact property is deteriorated. Therefore, it is preferable that the width of the narrow portion is substantially equal to the seat width.
