Abstract

DC60 (19/10/52) One purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle of the scooter type where the footwell area can be kept large without increasing the wheelbase. In the scooter type vehicle, the front frame (4) is partially fitted with a linear section. The front frame (4) extends downward while its upper end is connected to the head tube (3). The length (L1) of the front frame (4) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is less than the length (L2) of the head tube (3) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In the side view of the vehicle body, the intersection (X) between the axis of the head tube (3) and the overhang of the linear section of the front frame (4) is positioned above the vertical center (M) of the head tube (3). The rear frames (5, 6) extend backward in the vehicle body while their front end is connected to the section. The lower part of the front frame (4), the connecting sections (7, 8) connect the rear frame (5, 6) to the front frame (4). At least some of the connecting sections (7, 8) are positioned ahead of the rear end of the head tube (3). [Diagram] One purpose of this invention is to provide for a type of motor vehicle such that the footwell area can be maintained to a large size without increasing the wheelbase. In a motor vehicle such as a motor vehicle, the front frame (4) is partially straight. The front frame (4) extends downward while its uppermost end is connected to the head tube (3). The length (L1) of the front frame (4) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is less than the length (L2) of the head tube (3) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In the side view of the vehicle body, the intersection (X) between the axis of the head tube (3) and the overhang of the front section axis (4) is positioned above the vertical center (M) of the head tube (3). The rear sections (5, 6) are extended to the rear in the vehicle body, while their front end is connected to the lower section of the front section (4). The connecting sections (7, 8) connect the rear sections (5, 6) to the front section (4). The connecting sections (7, 8) are at least partially positioned in front of the rear end of the head tube (3). [Diagram]

Claims (1)

All claims (which will not appear on the advertising page): [Clause 1] A scooter-type vehicle with the following components: front and rear wheels; front forks supporting the front wheel to allow it to rotate; head tube supporting the front forks to allow them to rotate; seat positioned behind the head tube; footrests positioned below the head tube and seat, with the footrests positioned between the head tube and seat; a partial front frame with a straight section, the upper end of which is connected to the front head tube; a front frame extending downwards, where the front frame is shorter than the head tube in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle when in an upright position with the front and rear wheels in contact with the ground and perpendicular to the horizontal plane in the front view of the vehicle body, where the intersection of the extension of the straight section's axis and the head tube's axis is positioned higher than the vertical center of the head tube in the side view of the vehicle body. The rear frame; the front end of the rear frame that is connected to the lower part of the front frame, with the rear frame extending rearward into the vehicle body; and the connector for linking the rear frame to the front frame, with at least some of the connectors positioned in front of the rear end of the header pipe in an upright position.
