According to the above configuration, the tail light unit in which the tail light portion and the left and right direction light portions are integrated is disposed behind the rear outer casing portion. Therefore, it is easy to form the tail light unit compactly.

In order to improve the visibility, it is conceivable to increase the tail light portion. However, it is considered that since the tail light portion and the left and right direction light portions are disposed in a limited space, it is difficult to increase the tail light portion, and it is difficult to improve the visibility.

The inventors of the present invention have conceived the present invention by the following investigation.

Therefore, attention has been paid to improving the visibility of the tail light portion observed by the rider who rides on the speed-driven vehicle that is traveling in the rear.

The Scooter type vehicle is driven in such a state that the rider rides on the seat in a straight ridge and places the foot on the foot pedal that is more forward than the seat.

The taillight unit of the Scooter type vehicle is at least partially lower than the upper edge of the seat portion.

Therefore, the rider's eyes riding on the keta-type vehicle driving in the rear are at a higher position than the tail light unit. That is, the height of the rider's eyes is spaced apart from the height of the taillight unit in the up and down direction.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have noticed that by observing the projected area when the tail light unit is viewed from a higher position, the visibility can be improved in the tail light unit having a limited size. 20 is taken as an example for explanation. Fig. 20 is a schematic view for explaining the difference in projected area. Fig. 20(a) exemplarily shows a configuration in which the upper surface of the tail light portion TL10 is entirely covered. Fig. 20(b) exemplarily shows a configuration in which the trailing edge portion of the upper surface of the tail light portion TL10 is exposed. As can be understood from Fig. 20, compared with the comparative example of Fig. 20(a), the projected area when the tail light unit is viewed from a higher position in Fig. 20(b) is larger.

The result of such an investigation constitutes a taillight portion as follows.

Specifically, the tail light portion includes: a tail light source that lights up at least in a lighting state during traveling; a tail light base portion that is disposed for the tail light source; and a diffusion member that is in front The rear direction is located behind the tail light source and in front of the rear surface portion of the light-transmitting outer casing portion, and is disposed below the upper surface portion of the light-transmitting outer casing portion in the vertical direction, and at least a portion thereof faces the upper surface portion. The light of the tail light source is diffused.

Thereby, even if there is a limited space, it is possible to ensure that the viewing area of the tail light portion observed by the rider riding on the speed-driven vehicle traveling in the rear is large.

According to the above, it is possible to provide a sporty speed Kedda vehicle which can suppress the enlargement of the rear portion of the vehicle and at the same time further improve the tail light portion of the tail light unit having the tail light portion and the direction light portion. Visually recognized.

In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the diffusing member is disposed in the left-right direction, the right end is overlapped with the right-side lamp base portion or is located further to the right than the right-side lamp base portion, and the left end is opposite to the above The left direction lamp base portion overlaps or is located to the left more than the left direction lamp base portion.

According to the present embodiment, since the diffusing member that diffuses the light of the tail light source is disposed to overlap the right direction lamp portion and the left direction lamp portion in the vertical direction, the diffusion member can be disposed long in the left-right direction. Therefore, the size of the tail portion of the vehicle can be suppressed, and at the same time, the visibility of the tail light can be further improved.

In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the diffusing member has a portion above the right-hand lamp portion and above the left-side lamp portion in a rear view.

According to the present embodiment, since the diffusing member has a portion above the right-side lamp portion and above the left-side lamp portion in the rear view, it is easy to ensure that the rider of the quick-ked-type vehicle traveling from the oblique rear side observes It is recognized.

In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the tail light unit further includes a brake light unit, and the diffusing member is located above the brake light unit, the right direction light unit, and the left direction light unit in a rear view.

According to the present embodiment, since the tail light unit can be seen from above in a wide range in the left-right direction, it is easy to ensure that the self-riding type is driven at the rear or the rear side. The vehicle's rider observes the visibility.

In a preferred aspect of the present invention, in the tail light unit, the left end portion of the diffusing member located further to the left than the brake light portion has a top edge portion of the brake light portion in a rear view. Further, the lower portion of the diffusing member is located at the right end portion of the diffusing member at the right side of the brake light portion, and has a lower portion than the upper edge portion of the brake light portion in the rear view.

According to the present embodiment, for example, the length of the diffusion member can be increased without increasing the length of the tail light unit in the left-right direction as compared with the case where the left half portion and the right half portion of the diffusion member are extended in a straight line in the rear view. Thereby, the rear view area of the diffusion member can be increased. Therefore, the visibility of the tail light can be improved.

In a preferred embodiment of the scooter of the present invention, the diffusing member is a transparent resin to which a light diffusing agent is added.

According to the present embodiment, since the diffusion member has a relatively uniform brightness, it is easy to improve the visibility from various positions.

In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the diffusing member has an upper upper wall portion and a rear rear wall portion, and the rear wall portion faces the rear surface portion of the light transmitting outer casing portion. The upper wall portion extends from the upper edge portion of the rear wall portion toward the front of the vehicle.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to increase the internal space while suppressing the size of the diffusing member in the vertical direction, and therefore it is advantageous for heat dissipation.

In a preferred embodiment of the speed sked vehicle of the present invention, the diffusing member has its left and right end portions located further in front of the vehicle than the central portion thereof.

According to the present embodiment, the diffusing member can be easily observed even when viewed from the side of the vehicle. Therefore, the visibility of the tail light from the side of the vehicle can be improved.
