A saddle-ride vehicle includes: left and right seat rails; left and right sub-frames; and a rear fender assembled from a lower side. The rear fender has a base portion and left and right vertical wall portions. The base portion forms a housing space for vehicle body components. Separation distance of the left and right vertical wall portions is smaller than separation distance of the left and right sub-frames. At upper parts of the left and right vertical wall portions each are provided with an eaves portion extending outward in a vehicle width direction to fill a gap between the vertical wall portion and the frames. The eaves portions overlap with the seat rails in an up-down direction, and the eaves portions each have a guide portion.

A bicycle part includes a housing and a lid. The housing includes an inner peripheral portion, an outer peripheral portion, an end wall portion and a connecting portion. The outer peripheral portion is spaced radially outward from the inner peripheral portion with respect to a center axis of the enclosed area. The end wall portion interconnects the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion to at least partly define an internal space. The connecting portion interconnects the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion. The lid overlies the internal space. The lid is welded to the inner peripheral portion along an inner weld path and the outer peripheral portion along an outer weld path. The lid is further welded to at least part of the connecting portion of the housing a connecting weld path connecting the inner weld path and the outer weld path.

A saddled electric vehicle (1) having a battery (100) that is attachable to and detachable from the vehicle (1) includes a vehicle electronic lock (220) which enables the vehicle (1) to be locked and unlocked, a lock control unit (320) which controls the vehicle electronic lock (220), and a sub battery (327) which supplies electric power to the lock control unit (320), in which the lock control unit (320) enables the vehicle to be unlocked in a state in which the battery (100) is removed from the vehicle (1).

A saddle-type vehicle includes an engine, an engine control device, a battery, a vehicle body frame, and a pair of rear wheels. The vehicle body frame includes a pair of seat support frames supporting a seat. The battery is disposed below the seat and between the pair of seat support frames in a vehicle width direction. The engine control device is disposed between a seat support frame of the pair of seat support frames and a rear wheel of the pair of rear wheels. The seat support frame is located on one side in the vehicle width direction, and the rear wheel is located on the one side. At least a part of the engine control device overlaps the rear wheel located on the one side when viewed from the vehicle width direction.

A representative system includes a personal transportation device with: first and second wheels aligned along an axis; an idler wheel rearward of the axis; a platform configured to support a user in a standing position; electric motors to drive the first and second wheels; first and second hand grips fixed in position at respective locations forward of the platform; and first and second control actuators disposed, respectively, on the first and second hand grips, the first and second control actuators being operative to control rotations of the first and second wheels and configured to be actuated by corresponding thumbs of the user while hands of the user are grasping corresponding ones of the first hand grip and the second hand grip.

An electric Vehicle (EV) includes a frame extending rearwards from the front portion of the EV towards a rear portion of the EV. A floorboard structure is disposed below the frame and is supported by the frame. A battery is disposed in a cavity defined between the floorboard structure and the frame. A first heat-generating component is disposed in the rear portion of the EV. The EV includes a duct extending from the front portion to the first heat-generating component to conduct air from the front portion to the first heat-generating component. A second heat-generating component is disposed in the cavity. The duct includes: an inlet facing the front portion to receive air from the front portion; a first outlet facing the first heat-generating component to supply air to the first heat-generating component; and a second outlet facing the second heat-generating component to supply air to the second heat-generating component.
