　ここで、二輪車や三輪車のように旋回走行時に左右に揺動する揺動車両は、足でステップを踏むいわゆるステップ荷重によってバランスを取りながら運転することが多い。また、揺動車両においては、車体をバンクさせる際はスロットルを弱める一方、バンクした状態から車体を起こす際はスロットルを強めるなど、旋回時の動きを繊細なスロットル操作によって制御することも多く、ステップ荷重と繊細なスロットルペダル操作との両立を図りやすくするための構成が望まれる。 Here, swinging vehicles such as motorcycles and tricycles that swing left and right when turning are often driven while maintaining balance by stepping on the steps with the feet. In addition, in swinging vehicles, the throttle is weakened when the vehicle is banked, and the throttle is strengthened when the vehicle is raised from the banked state. It is desirable to have a configuration that makes it easy to balance load and delicate throttle pedal operation.
　本発明の目的は、上記従来技術の課題を解決し、ステップ荷重と繊細なスロットルペダル操作との両立を図ることができる揺動車両を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide a rocking vehicle capable of coexisting step load and delicate throttle pedal operation.

The first feature is that the outer protrusions (32, 32a) protruding upward are provided.
　また、前記スロットルペダル（３０）の車幅方向内側の位置に、上方に突出する内側凸部（３３，３３ａ）が設けられている点に第２の特徴がある。 The second feature is that upwardly protruding inner protrusions (33, 33a) are provided at positions on the inner side of the throttle pedal (30) in the vehicle width direction.
　また、前記足載せ部（１２）は、幅広の床状に形成される低床フロアであり、前記スロットルペダル（３０）の後方にフットレスト（３５）が設けられており、前記フットレスト（３５）の踏部（３５ａ）は、前記足載せ部（１２）との間に空間を有して配設される点に第３の特徴がある。 Further, the footrest (12) is a low floor formed in a wide floor shape, and a footrest (35) is provided behind the throttle pedal (30). A third feature is that the step portion (35a) is arranged with a space between it and the footrest portion (12).
　また、前記フットレスト（３５）の踏部（３５ａ）は、足の土踏まずで踏むように構成されている点に第４の特徴がある。 The fourth feature is that the step portion (35a) of the footrest (35) is configured to be stepped on with the arch of the foot.
　また、前記外側凸部（３２）の上端部が、前記スロットルペダル（３０）の踏部（３０ａ）より高い位置にある点に第５の特徴がある。 A fifth feature is that the upper end of the outer protrusion (32) is positioned higher than the stepping portion (30a) of the throttle pedal (30).
　さらに、前記外側凸部（３２ａ）の上端部が、前記スロットルペダル（３０）の踏部（３０ａ）と略同じ高さにある点に第６の特徴がある。 Furthermore, the sixth feature is that the upper end of the outer projection (32a) is at substantially the same height as the stepping portion (30a) of the throttle pedal (30).
　第１の特徴によれば、運転者（Ｒ）が足で操作するスロットルペダル（３０）を有し、左右に揺動することで旋回走行する揺動車両（１）において、前記スロットルペダル（３０）は、前記運転者（Ｒ）の足を載せる足載せ部（１２）の前方寄りの位置に配設されており、前記スロットルペダル（３０）の車幅方向外側の位置に、上方に突出する外側凸部（３２，３２ａ）が配設されているので、スロットルペダルを踏む親指側の足裏部分と、足の後方側を支持するかかと部分に加えて、足の小指側の側部を外側凸部に接地させることが可能となる。これにより、足を３点で支持することができ、ステップ荷重と繊細なスロットルペダル操作との両立をしやすくすることが可能となる。 According to the first feature, in a rocking vehicle (1) having a throttle pedal (30) operated by a driver (R) with a foot, and turning by rocking left and right, the throttle pedal (30) is ) is disposed at a position closer to the front of the footrest (12) on which the foot of the driver (R) is placed, and protrudes upward at a position outside the throttle pedal (30) in the vehicle width direction.
