A cargo-carrying wheeled vehicle comprising: at least a cargo hold chassis (10); at least a battery support chassis (30) configured to be operatively behind or operatively ahead or operatively underneath said cargo hold chassis (10); and at least a rider and pillion support chassis (20) configured to be operatively behind said battery support chassis (30) and operatively behind said cargo hold chassis (10), in that, said cargo hold chassis (10), said battery support chassis (30), and said rider and pillion support chassis (20) cooperate to maintain centre of gravity of said vehicle, after addition of cargo and rider and pillion, relatively lower (closer to ground) and substantially on or very near to the centerline of the wheelbase of this vehicle (between 10a and 12a).

A straddled vehicle includes a body frame, a seat, a battery case storing a battery and inertial measurement unit, a drive wheel. The battery case is provided such that its bottom portion protrudes toward the position between the rear suspension and the rear wheel. The inertial measurement unit is fixed to the bottom portion of the battery case at a position above the inertial measurement unit. The bottom portion of the battery case is located in a space other than a space in which the rear suspension and the drive wheel are positioned when the rear suspension is in a most contracted state due to absorbance of shock. At least the battery and the inertial measurement unit partially overlap each other in a plan view of the vehicle.

A saddled electric-powered vehicle is configured by including approximately rectangular parallelepiped batteries, a battery case in which the batteries are housed, battery-side terminals provided on bottom surfaces of the batteries, and case-side terminals engaged with the battery-side terminals. The battery case is arranged below a seat, and pressing holders that press the batteries housed in the battery case from above are provided while making a front and rear pair for each battery. The battery case is formed in a bottomed box shape with an upper side open. Each pressing holder is provided with a rubber portion brought into contact with an upper surface of each battery. The saddled electric-powered vehicle can enhance convenience by optimizing an arrangement and a housing structure of portable batteries.

A straddle-type electric vehicle includes two approximately rectangular parallelepiped batteries, a battery case in which the batteries are housed, battery-side terminals provided on bottom surfaces of the batteries, and case-side terminals engaged with the battery-side terminals. The two batteries are arranged next to each other in a vehicle width direction. An operation lever for connecting or separating the battery-side terminals and the case-side terminals to/from each other is provided. The operation lever is arranged in a middle in the vehicle width direction between the two batteries, and the battery-side terminals and the case-side terminals are arranged nearer outer sides in the vehicle width direction. A pair of front and rear link mechanisms for coupling the operation lever and the case-side terminals to each other is provided in front of and behind the battery case.

Disclosed are a personal mobility and a control method thereof. The personal mobility includes a front body on which a front wheel is installed, and a rear body slidably coupled to the front body in a front-rear direction to enable wheelbase adjustment and on which a rear wheel is installed.

According to an aspect, there is provided a vehicle system that includes a foot-deck-based vehicle and a seat accessory structure. The foot-deck-based vehicle includes a foot deck, a handle structure and a plurality of wheels. The foot deck is positioned to support—a user and includes a first handle structure receiving feature. The handle structure is detachably connectable to the first handle structure receiving feature. The seat accessory structure has a seat body and is detachably connectable to the foot deck so as to form a seat-based vehicle. The seat accessory structure has a second handle structure receiving feature thereon. The handle structure is detachably connectable to the second handle structure receiving feature, so as to be positioned for gripping by a secondary person when the secondary person is urging the seat-based vehicle to roll on the ground surface while the user is seated on the seat body.

A battery storage device includes a battery case (42) storing a battery (62A or 62B) and a case side connection terminal (43) connected to a terminal portion (41) of the battery (62A or 62B) stored in the battery case (42). The battery storage device further includes a terminal displacement mechanism (45) and an operation member (44). The terminal displacement mechanism (45) causes the case side connection terminal (43) to be displaced between a connection position (P1) contact-connected to the terminal portion (41) of the battery (62A or 62B) and a retreat position (P2) separated from the connection position (P1). The operation member (44) is capable of operating the terminal displacement mechanism (45).

In an electric traction motorcycle (100) the ignition of the motor and the related vehicle start his avoided if the electric supply accessories are not correctly in place, and to this purpose the motorcycle comprises: a front portion comprising one or more front wheels (103) and a handlebar (104); a rear portion comprising a saddle (101), a shell body (107) arranged below said saddle (101), and a rear wheel (105) arranged below said shell body (105); an intermediate portion (108) extending as a connection between said front portion and said rear portion; an electric drive unit (8) connected to said rear wheel (105); a power supply unit supplying said electric drive unit (8); and a helmet carrying compartment (11), placed inside the shell body (107) below the saddle (101), which is accessible by shifting said saddle (101) in an open position, wherein the shifting of the saddle (101) in an open position uncovers a service surface (150) therebelow a power lead cable compartment (56) is arranged which includes a power lead cable (54) which, when it is in retracted configuration, allows the complete closure of the saddle (101) and it is wholly included in its compartment (56); said compartment (56) has a shape so as to adapt to the space available at a rear wall of the helmet carrying compartment (11) and of the rear wall of the shell body (107), the power lead cable (54) having a connecting socket (57) and a respective seat (59) wherein it is placed in a resting position, and wherein, in such seat (59) a sensor is provided which detects the positioning of the connecting socket (57) and which provides, to a control unit of the motorcycle (100), a signal allowing to start the motorcycle (100).
