A saddle type electric vehicle (1) includes a charging cord (245) that is connectable to an external power supply, a cord accommodating section (230) configured to accommodate a charging cord (245), and a vehicle body cover (5) on which a cord accommodating section (230) provided, a vehicle body cover (5) includes a cover inclined surface (CS) inclined with respect to a ground plane, the cover inclined surface (CS) includes an inclined surface upper section (CS1) located on an upper section of the cover inclined surface (CS), and in the cord accommodating section (230), a cord drawing section (236) disposed in the vicinity of the inclined surface upper section (CS1) and configured to draw the charging cord (245) into the cord accommodating section (230) and an accommodating space (230s) configured to accommodate the charging cord (245) drawn from the cord drawing section (236) from the vicinity of the inclined surface upper section (CS1) to a lower section of the cord accommodating section (230) are provided.

An open-cabin vehicle is provided that makes it possible to enjoy the convenience provided by electronic devices while suppressing electric power consumption and also suppressing a reduction in the convenience of the open-cabin vehicle. An identification signal transmission unit inside an electric power control apparatus of an open-cabin vehicle intermittently transmits an identification signal (ID). A response signal reception unit receives a response signal (RE) that is transmitted from a portable terminal in response to the identification signal (ID) without any operation by a rider on the portable terminal or the open-cabin vehicle. When the response signal reception unit receives the response signal (RE), a command unit commands current conduction in a first electric power supply circuit and does not command current conduction in a second electric power supply circuit.

An electric handle lock structure for a saddled vehicle which can provide a compact arrangement around a handle to thereby achieve miniaturization of a vehicle body front portion. A handle lock structure for a saddled vehicle includes: a handle steering shaft operated by a handle; a front wheel steering shaft disposed to steer a front wheel in front of the handle steering shaft; a top bridge which is fastened to an upper end of the handle steering shaft and to which the handle is fixed; and an electric handle lock device that is electrically operated and is provided between the handle steering shaft and the front wheel steering shaft in the proximity of the handle, and the electric handle lock device is disposed so that at least part thereof overlaps below the top bridge in a plan view.

An improved locking mechanism for securing a scooter or other vehicle. The locking mechanism can secure a wheel of the scooter in a left or right steering position. The locking mechanism can be manually actuated by the user, such as by a foot or hand of the user. Once the wheel is secured in place, the scooter may be difficult to ride without unlocking. The locking mechanism can be unlocked through a wireless connection with a remote control (e.g. a phone).
